The branded vehicles are obviously the priority, but I'd imagine that the GNE red buses will receive the full corporate livery branding soon after the final branded vehicle is complete.

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.

All the prep for the news is done - it's just a case of typing it up properly.

(23 Mar 2014, 9:59 pm)aureolin wrote Is the mileage still recorded as 'lost' if a replacement vehicle is sent? For example, an X21 is broken down in Chester Le Street, but the Chester depot provide a replacement 20 minutes later?

(24 Mar 2014, 6:40 am)Dan wrote It won't be, but any bus running 20 minutes late on a half hourly frequency is going to run light somewhere to make up time.
