(17 Feb 2020, 10:13 pm)Dan Bit too much going on at the moment to have unnecessary repaints - as soon as the Citaros at Riverside are painted, need to move onto other repaints to coincide with the delivery of the new vehicles for Consett and Washington which will lead to a multitude of buses moving around and getting repainted and rebranded.
These little amends keep the indiGos going a little bit longer, makes them a bit more generic so can be swapped around if necessary, and tidies them up a bit in the process.

(17 Feb 2020, 10:18 pm)JP6004 Ah yes totally understand. And can understand 56 being pushed back later in year. But the solos are only 4yo this year and other vehicles need repaint more urgently.
No doubt the 4 citaros will go in afterwards....

Yobs smash out bus window with passengers onboard as trouble flares at town's hotspot.
One of the X-lines Solos needs new windows, littlethey are

To be honest, the Houghton and Hetton areas are the areas I least like to visit when the kids are off school or outside school times.
(17 Feb 2020, 10:24 pm)Dan I’d be inclined to put the Connections4 Citaros in the “not urgent” pile too, I’m afraid... would have been nice to re-brand indiGo and Connections4 along with Red Arrows, but I think poor Saltmeadows have their work cut out for the next few months.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the surroundings in general, it's just the "little darlings" that infest the area.
Is 9069 finishing up it’s loan this week ?

I hate the almost constant pub overspill in Houghton. And last time we caught the 71, there, a fire engine pulled up because there was a bin fire in the park behind the bus stop. A couple of weeks previously, all the windows were smashed in that same bus stop (though fram is no stranger to vandalised bus shelters, either and Thornley had most of its shelters replaced with ones with metal mesh, when it had similar ASB issues, years back. Arriva did refuse to run there in the evenings, for a while.)

And it looks like a second night of the attacks is happening, as an X20 has been withdrawn, this evening after "an incident" https://twitter.com/gonortheast/status/1...29249?s=20
So much for the police patrols that are supposed to be happening.
