6149-6161 will more than likely end up at Riverside for the 6's as they due to be converted to Euro 6 ahead of the low emission zone being introduced in Newcastle.

Could they not be in line (alongside 6118-21) to replace the B5LHs on the Coaster?

I don't use it too much nowadays, but I think the X21 NSAs have been off since the Tindale Crescent extension?

Yes, that's correct. They also still haven't updated the app with the new stops in Tindale, and the southbound buses still don't show on the tracker.

Ah right, thanks for the information

What is the PVR of the 6?

What other buses are getting converted to Euro 6? So far.. the B9's on the TEN (16), 6149-6161 (13) have been done.

Dan mentioned, theres 120 in total.

PVR of the 6 is 4.

It also works with the X30 on an evening so unlikely to be the new home of at least some of those B9s.

Have anymore of the Cobalts been returned? IIRC 6114-6116 are down there at the moment?

54 doesn’t show on the map tracker either, but does show on the bus stops.

6131 is on the 40/41,don't know if it's transferred to Percy Main or just a loan because they do seem a bit short at the minute.

Maybe a last minute transfer?, probables see more over today and tomorrow before the school contracts come in to force.

Percy Main is suffering a shortage of Optare Solos at the moment with several vehicles awaiting parts. Noted some Vykings on loan to PM too.

6 transfer - all in the GNE brand?, with the Toonlink ones temperately withdrawn to be repainted, and then allocated on another service which enters Gateshead and Newcastle?

East Yorkshire have 19 ADL MMC 400s on the way. I doubt they need 4 more Gemini 2s. This comes up often and I don’t see why considering GNE need to get rid of the Solars and have plenty of older Deckers that could do with being replaced.

8299 is at deptford , 8294-8298 to join her
4989 heading to percy main sadly

Only 6 Versa's, PVR for the 35 is 8... shame because i think the Scania's would be better as spares etc...

5420, 5440 & 5441 are now at Consett, 6133 & 6143 out
