(04 Aug 2019, 6:39 pm)TEN 6083 Guess the same goes for the Tyne Valley Tens as well then

Some of that batch that I've been on are in dire need of a refresh or at least a good scrub.

Agree, the Tyne Valley Ten batch are in much greater need of some TLC than the Fab56s (which in my view are still in pretty good condition!)

(04 Aug 2019, 6:56 pm)Michael Hope so, the orange looks horrendous now, if the Drifter Streetlites get done, i think we will see the brand dropped, its a pointless brand.


So you're saying the orange looked good at one point?

Speaking of the Tyne Valley Ten B9s - don't think it has been noted yet that all bar two are now fitted with SCRTs to upgrade emission ratings to Euro 6.

The two which haven't been fitted, 6046 and 6075, should be completed next week.

6315 repeating the service & destination twice at each stop - reported to customer services - just fyi. They’ll be able to see if the driver reports it too after his shift of course.


 Also driver switched destination to Chester le Street 2 stops early. Luckily no guide dogs users on board today. Obviously cant comment on if there were any visually impaired or unfamiliar travellers onboard though.

Pleased to see the size of the brand & company logos increased on 6112. Looking a lot less empty in those areas now - to the extent where I now think it doesn't look too bad!

But with limited space and a longer brand name, e.g. Tyne Valley Ten, it would have to shrink again. I can see why the brand name would be placed there, but it looks a bit out of place then moving the Go North East logo (with small text apart from the 'GO') to where it is.

The placement is exactly the same as Reading Buses, but there company logo is more prominent due to its size and shape. Arriva also placed brand logos in a similar place on the original Sapphire and MAX branding, but they almost dropped the Arriva name altogether on theirs - just a small 'from Arriva' strap of text or something along those lines.

I must say that 6112 looks very smart indeed! Don't want to start a game of bus wars off but the product offered by GNE is far superior to Arriva.
