(31 Jul 2014, 10:02 pm)aureolin See I'm not keen on the Arriva polo shirts either, as I don't think they look smart. Noticed some wearing similar colour dress shirts though?
I think the Sapphire uniform is smarter too iirc... Not used the 7 for a while, but there was a pretty smart woman driving last time I used it.

(30 Jul 2014, 9:14 pm)Robert As stated on the Gateshead Central Taxis thread, Wright Streetlite MX60 BXD is now with them. Also on loan.We actually ended up with a 61 plate from Gateshead central. We have it for 1 month while E3 stx undergoes engine surgery, and all 3 EV's have now gone back to Optare to try and see if there is a way they can be brought up to a usable standard.

Just had a short ride on MX61 BCE. Beautiful is the best word to describe it. Too quiet to get the message 'get off the road' to people but will any bus at the end of the day?
Discussions also revealed that R6 and R7 were deffo been either part exchanged or sold to Ensign. Something that was said by a mechanic to the driver in question. Also said was that K2 may be staying with them been the only Olympian doing so.
As can clearly be seen with only 1 president been refurbed, not all of them will be done by September hence why R7 has been MOT'd and R6 should be due for the same soon meaning they can cling on for a little longer than originally intended.

It was delivered on a low loader (for obvious reasons) and i assume its just extending its demonstration life rather than actually being purchased by the company.
