(10 May 2014, 11:26 am)Marcus I live right next to the Cricket Ground so I'll have the benefit of all rare appearances, if there are any. wonder if Deptford or Stanley will loan a couple of buses for the occasion, or Chester will be able to manage with all their spare deckers?

(10 May 2014, 6:39 pm)NEBCD Malarkey Well I am afraid I have got some Bad News, The F1 No Showed at Washington Galleries at 18:00pm, Even more Bad News it still didn't show up by 18:30pm which results in Even more Bad News as I simply didn't get a Photo. But there is a Tiny bit of Good News to this Bad News Post, I did manage to Photograph 4904 on the 8 and 4909 on the 50.

(10 May 2014, 6:44 pm)Marcus If it was using a Lolyne (baring in mind the F1 is operated by Chester, I think?, I'm sure one does), then I would say it likely broke down. Or, maybe there was a huge crowd at the football match. I spoke to a driver once who told me when the Newcastle and Sunderland were playing a few years back he was waiting outside St. James' Park for about an hour with another few drivers and a supervisor as well as football security guards trying to 'round up the sheep' as he put it.

I've posted this thread just for anyone to discuss any ideas for which vehicles within the GNE fleet that will attend the North East Bus and Coach Show NEXT year. Obviously taking into account the amount of new vehicles that are due to be bought within this year and the beginning of the next. Any suggestions or ideas for specific vehicles or liveries.
On the subject of various special services running:
Later this month, "One Direction" will be hosting a concert at the Stadium of Light. Extra buses are running after the event finishes. Last year, Washington loaned "Red Arrows" branded Geminis to Deptford for use on service 56. Although this is less likely to happen now with the arrival of Volvo B9s to service 56, there is potential for them to be loaned to Deptford for another one of their services.
As you'd expect, I intend to go out to photograph these shuttle services. Last year proved to be difficult as I attended one or two of the concerts myself and therefore could only photograph the vehicles on the special services amid the floods of people making their way home.

(11 May 2014, 9:57 am)Michael Because the Silver arrows can't use deckers - would of thought that there might of being a extra bus
Although the rest will probables be covered by deckers

(11 May 2014, 10:08 am)Marcus Perhaps with the other services that run in the area surrounding the Stadium of Light, then a few spare deckers could be loaned to Deptford for use on the Silver Arrows etc, instead of having branded deckers be loaned. I expect the 56 to be at full capacity, even for double deckers, so probably a few extra buses could get thrown on to make up times if one ends up waiting outside the Stadium for about fifteen minutes loading up. I would also think Stagecoach will likely chip in with their Park and Ride services.
