Go North East: 2014/15 Financial Year Order Predictions
Go North East: 2014/15 Financial Year Order Predictions
(11 Feb 2014, 5:14 pm)Dan - X66
Vehicles withdrawn
- Lime
4850-55 withdrawn, 4896-4902 cascaded to replace older B10BLEs
- Crusader
14x Citaros available for cascade - perhaps 9 to Stanley for "Red Kite", and the remaining 5 to Stanley for X30/X31, with a number of doors open for the cascades (one of which being the "Centurion")?
- Laser
12x Citaros available for cascade - perhaps all 12 to remain at Deptford for use on "Prince Bishops" service 20, in turn allowing the currently allocated Solars to replace B10BLEs in the fleet?
- Toon Link
4841 and 5144-50 withdrawn, 4978-82 perhaps to take a "spare role" in the fleet to replace older spare vehicles. "South Tyne" 5 comes to mind with this one too.
- Fab57

(11 Feb 2014, 5:25 pm)CatsFast101 Shocked to see fab57 getting investment straight away but yeah this sounds about right, same I said in the other thread. 4 Solars from Prince Bishops' over to Pulse possibly? Could we see 64/95/96 get some too under a new brand?

(11 Feb 2014, 5:30 pm)Dan Has certainly been suggested for a good two months or so now - and not by me this time!
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...hp?tid=784&pid=22211#pid22211
Well... Do you think the Pulse is gonna go red in a few weeks' time? If so, I see no problem with that suggestion.
As for the 64/95/96, I doubt it - not yet.

(11 Feb 2014, 5:34 pm)Michael It seems daft that all the B10's from 17/17/67/69/69A will go Northern when their inline to be withdrawn this year -.-
Even though Dan said - a good tidy up might increase value, i still think its daft their wasting money when they won't even get much for them

This could possibly happen if the Crusader did receive investment.
Crusader Citaros:
5310-14 - Stanley for services X30 and X31.
5315-19/5328-29/30/32 to Stanley for the Red Kite Services.
Laser Citaros:
5298-5309 - Deptford for Prince Bishops.
Solars would displace Renowns.
Red Kite Omnicities:
5234-42 - Percy Main for Centurion along with 5250 which could be a branded spare.
Prince Bishops Solars:
4989-92 - Riverside for the Pulse.
4969/5211-13 - Riverside for the X40.
5214-16 - Chester-le-Street for the 71, branded as the ''Lambton Worm''. 5216 would be a spare for both the 71 and 34/34A.
5217 - Riverside for the Soccerbus.
(11 Feb 2014, 5:38 pm)Dan Gotta think - those B10BLEs have had a bit of work done to them! They're Euro 4, after all. Interiors aren't too shabby at present, but if they're given a thorough clean regardless...
If they're in a more appropriate red (rather than a tired old yellow which hasn't been repainted for a good while), operators who are less likely to be able to afford £1.5k or so for a repaint, may be more tempted to buy them.

(11 Feb 2014, 5:43 pm)Dan We should hope that the current livery will be retained on the Mercs - should the PB receive them!
If GNE think it's another Crusader, it's entirely possible we'll have a cheap in-house design unfortunately.

(11 Feb 2014, 5:46 pm)Michael Saying their euro 4 - then i agree - i didn't know that, as for being red, ye saves getting rid of the shabby yellow
Tom- theirs also 4989-4992 - which is still the wrong colour for the Prince Bishops on the fleet allocation
I would say
67/69/69A - 4969,4989,4890,4891,4892
--------------
Then theirs
5211,5212,5213,5214,5215,5216,5217 - Removes more B10's from frontline service.

(11 Feb 2014, 5:48 pm)Tom Yes, I know. PVR for the Pulse is only 4.
4989-92 - Riverside for the Pulse. (Replacing 5160/1/2/3)
4969/5211-13 - Riverside for the X40. (Replacing the tired Artics).
5214-16 - Chester-le-Street for the 71, branded as the ''Lambton Worm''. 5216 would be a spare for both the 71 and 34/34A. (Replacing various Renowns from frontline services).
5217 - Riverside for the Soccerbus. (Replacing 4910 from frontline services)

(11 Feb 2014, 5:47 pm)Michael The current Prince Bishops doesn't look cheap, i really hope its not going to be Crusader job and be rubbish - if of course they receive them

(11 Feb 2014, 5:55 pm)Kuyoyo Simple answer to that net - it was either a plain purple one or use the present branding, so easy choice to make.
As for mentions of investment for Fab57, would I be as bold as to throw something I made earlier into the speculation
