The site's fleet list has been updated as follows:
(21 Mar 2014, 8:09 pm)Dan The site's fleet list has been updated as follows:
- 5161/64/66 repainted into Go North East's corporate livery.
- Lolyne 3874 has been transferred to Percy Main (ignore my earlier mistake when I accidentally typed 'Vyking'! The posts which followed truly baffled me when I read them, hence why I didn't reply at the time).
- President 6008 has been transferred to Deptford.
- Renowns 4906-08 have been transferred to Chester-le-Street
- Renown 4845 has returned to Deptford.
- Following sale, Olympians 3811/20/27 have been removed from the fleetlist, and so have 8226/39/41 too.
- Versas 8295/97 have been branded "South Tyne".
- OmniCitys 5255/59 have been branded "Whey Aye Five 0".
Any other updates which have occurred in the past fortnight which don't appear above had already been updated.

(21 Mar 2014, 8:28 pm)Bazza Houston some should be branded tonight for South Tyne thus why Cadet 8251 was on and 2 Solars that leaves 6 to be done got most photos on my turf i thought 4908 was the only one at Chester-le-Street while the other 3 are Stanley could be wrong

(21 Mar 2014, 8:34 pm)Dan 4906, 4907 and 4908 have all been transferred to Chester-le-Street, although it's easy to make the mistake of them being at Stanley given that those vehicles have been seen on the "Lime". The location of 4909 has not yet been established (and I've therefore left it as Deptford on the site's fleet list).
One Solar is always allocated to "South Tyne" services 88/88A due to the interworking nature with scholars. However, it's clear that two Versas were absent today - whether this was for branding or for maintenance purposes, we do not know.

8294 is the 3rd to be branded for 88/88A 3942 is on 27 along with 3964 and a Quaylink has made it onto 27X
(21 Mar 2014, 12:55 am)Acky81 Are 39s next
I have always wondered. Does the Citylink require a PVR of 12 or 14? I ask this because there were 14 of the Rigid and Articulated Citaros when they were on the route but there is only 12 branded Versas so im assuming 2 of the 14 were branded spares and 5389 and 5390 have taken its place.
(23 Mar 2014, 12:40 pm)Bazza Houston wonder when the Bi-Monthly news report is getting updated

(23 Mar 2014, 12:57 pm)Dan Not for a while yet if it's a bi-monthly news report!
Our fortnightly update will be done at some point today, I just need to upload some more photos to Flickr first - but I'm going out for an hour or two for now. Will post links on the apt thread when it's up.
