The Renown although owned by Dan and Semi-Preserved is an A-Line vehicle as it runs on A-Line O Discs that allows it to carry fare paying passengers.

Appreciate its not the best picture, but is this one of the Bxxx GCN Olympians?

Just scrolling through twitter and it popped up. Done a reverse search and can't find the original.

The ventelation grills look to be wrong for an ex GNE example. Registration mark looks to end in either CK or CX which leads to eithera former Ribble or Yorkshire Traction vehicle. I shall research.

It is former Yorkshire Traction A646OCX - https://www.flickr.com/photos/stazicker/49579104041

Also saw use on an open top tour around Llandudno.

Yeah, it was the suffix at the end that got my attention. Noticed the C and thought it looked like a G.

Thanks for clearing it up though.

Like the way the destination still say Go North East Route Learning i guess they have not re programmed them yet

X511 WRG is currently for sale: https://www.route-one.net/trader/directo...nnis-dart/

Would be nice to see it return to the North East for preservation.

It was North Tyne Links, not Wallsend Links (it might have been at some point though) which was the old 80 at the time which is now partially the 335, which before that was the 42. One of the many North Tyneside routes which has changed stupid amount of times and now is surprisingly dead. Believe it was partially the 303/304/313/314? for a bit aswell around 2002.

I could've swore it was a number with C in it at some point aswell.

Wallsend Links was 40/40C/41/41C. All routes were circulars.

40 (Clockwise) / 41 (Anti Clockwise) - Wallsend - High Farm - Battle Hill - Hadrian Park - Howdon - Wallsend
40C (Clockwise) / 41C (Anti Clockwise) - Wallsend - High Farm - Battle Hill - Cobalt - Howdon - Wallsend

That must have been quite confusing

Don't think it was that one. 83/83C I believe it was but not 100% and it used to be just the North Shields side of it. Then it was eventually merged with something on the other side to form the 80 which was North Tyne Links even known they look identical pretty much.

Wallsend links was the 40/41/40C/41C, it was then rebranded as North Tyne Links in 2010 when it became the 40/41/80

Looking at their page they have 2 of them

Former GNE Solos NK54DEU, NK54DFA and NK54DFC have joined the fleet of Nailsworth-based operator Cotswold Green. Unfortunately NK54DFA has been reported as having suffered an engine failure, and is now being stripped for spares.

The fourth member of the quartet, NK54DFD, has also ended up in the same part of the country, and is now with Henshaw of Moreton-in-Marsh.

5340 (BL57 OXK) formerly of Go North East, Brighton & Hove's 119 and London General MAL109 was in attendance at Alton Bus Rally this past Sunday in which I attended and it was an excellent event, it is understood from what I was advised this vehicle has been purchased for preservation.

Noticed an Interdeck on Commonwealth Games duties at the weekend. Was heading in the opposite direction, so didn't see if there was an operator vinyl anywhere or even which one it was unfortunately.

GNE sold that one direct to ARG Travel - they own a number of ex-GNE Solos now.
