(18 Jan 2014, 9:33 pm)Dan We shouldn't, but it's quite likely that we will.
How long do you give it before a former Winlaton bus ends up appearing on a Saltmeadows route? TENs on the 29 before you know it!

(18 Jan 2014, 9:53 pm)Adam Malarkey I think we are more likely to see the more obvious odd working happen than the mega rare ones, for example
Ten on the TTX

(18 Jan 2014, 9:59 pm)benwell3031 Would be very little dead mileage if the 5 was interworked with the new short 9's and transferred to Deptford. 8267-8273 could then be used (7 buses for pvr=7), with 8242-46 painted red and used on 67/69 to allow 5160-64 to be withdrawn. Evening/Sunday 5's could've been interworked with 35 at South Shields using Laser buses.
Replacement work for Saltmeadows could've been New X36, or Fab57.

Every time a 5 bus passes a south tyneside one its sounds like its going to blow up r somthing and I'm always passing a thew that r broken down think its about time to look at the route and look for new buses for this route

(18 Jan 2014, 10:06 pm)Dan 3941/42 and 6071 are all fitted with tachographs. These are the "TEN" branded vehicles which could appear on the "Tyne Tees Xpress".

On the updated Cobalt Clipper page on GNE's website it states: "Next stop announcements and display screens will also be added very soon".
I take it by that they just mean once the new buses enter service? Just when I first read it I took it as the new buses either don't have the audio/visual equipment in yet, or it won't be working straight away???
Just struck me as odd how they listed all the features of the new buses, then stated the next stop announcements & screens "will also be added soon".

With regards to the 353 moving to Riverside. This Nexus Bus route has it's own little pool of Solos (637-639) which are slightly longer then the other Nexus Bus Solos. However it does reduce the flexibility of having the spare out of 637-639 running on other routes, but there is nothing stopping them lending them to Saltmeadows for a day.
I hope the crusader,blaydon racers and the centurion brands get updated coz to me they look like Temporary brands not much effort is being put into the brands anymore some are great and some have gone down hill exapmle X66 and the loop
