(04 Dec 2023, 12:12 pm)Storx Could they not be for Hexham and the Tynedale Links either? Would displace the microfleet of Versa's to Riverside instead of Consett having to deal with 3 random Versa's. It appears one of them is already working for Consett today.

Wouldn't be the first time that a Venture Solo SR tracked as something it wasn't, I recall one tracking as the since departed Volvo B9R / Plaxton Elite coach 7157 a while back. Obviously there is drivers that try and troll enthusiasts by inputting incorrect fleetnumbers to send them on wild goose chases after certain vehicles either a recently acquired one or a rare working like a Voltra E12 on the X21.

According to posts on my Flickr Secondhand Streetlites 5511-5520 are meant to be becoming driver training vehicles.
To be honest I believe it when I see it considering they still have the bandit screens and the fact they had a full interior refurbishment.

(10 Dec 2023, 4:13 pm)54APhotography Indeed. Perhaps as previously mentioned there may be a number to carry advertisements rather than trainers. Time will tell, as ever speculation rules the roost on forums.

(10 Dec 2023, 6:21 pm)busmanT Given the large number of StreetLite's in the GNE fleet it would seem sensible to train the drivers on them.
