Wouldn't care but younger Solo's have already left the fleet or are about to leave the fleet

The 29 is just a weird bus service in general don't really see it's purpose. It runs pretty much 15 minutes in front/behind the 28A and 69 and doesn't really offer any new links bar Low Fell to Kibblesworth which aren't already provided elsewhere and doesn't go to Newcastle either.

Seems counter productive when the 28/28A are clearly struggling hence the cuts lately.

No, it’s commercial minus a few trips on Saturday.

The only difference is that 29 goes down Durham Road for a bit.

Really just stick a small solo. But really that E200 the size is a perfect fit

Ah thanks.

Ive said it before on here... it was secured so Kibblesworth would have 2x bus per hour. When the tender came up GNE were worried about a competitor getting it in there area so took it, as Dan says, most of the journeys commercially. As far as I know the first run on the morning is run by GCT... I'm not sure if it ever turns up as I'm never up at 630am!

Its never going to get "new buses" but it must pee off customers who see adverts for clean euro 6 buses, tables to work at and charging for mobile phones when i isn't ever been on a 29 with them.... and to be honest i don't think the 28a/b ever has buses with these items either

Look at Deptford, only the Citaro Chargers work, no tables, wifi yes.

Few get everything, most get barely anything

doesn't bother me a bus having any of those thing... i just pray it turns up!!

Im on about the potential customers who see these shiny new buses and think if they get the bus it will be one of those and they end up with a 58 plate cast off with thin hard seats. no next stop annoucements and TBH i don't even think it has WIFI?

You don't know how many times I hear I wish this had USB's, or I wish they worked.

Aye your right if I remember GCT actually won it then they decided to take it on full time.

Agreed in a way though mind the 25/28/28A probably deserve them first as they just get cast offs aswell, unrefurbished Versa's being the latest. Least the 28A would benefit Kibblesworth.

Steven Knight messaged me at 11:50 with that news!

Confirm back on twitter they are staying with Go North East

Apologies all, I was relaying information from a normally solid source. Would appear he was fed the information erroneously.

Any updates on what is happening with these B7RLE's?

They've moved from where they've been for months! So some progress. Noticed one in and amongst the main lines of vehicles when I passed earlier tonight.
There was an Omnidekker looking sorry for itself further round.
