Send me a message if you want some oldish leaflets, and you can Paypal me the money.

Guess he's unable to pay for them - judging by his last message!

He said he wanted to acquire them! 

I can pay for them, via money or postal order. But I'm 15 so don't have PayPal

Did you check my message?

By this I mean I can not pay via PayPal

Sadly, I'm not going to cash in a postal order for £1

Could you both arrange to meet at say Gateshead Metro one Saturday when both out and about?

Very good Andreos

Think go northeast need to tidy up there buses a bit more and the brading on the loop is awful the one before that was brillant

I feel like i have missed a few posts with been away for a week.


A couple of Deckers seem to have unreportedly cropped up at Stanley in the form of Volvo B7TL 6032 and Lolyne 3868 (which can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bazza90/15724665751/). I assume these are both loans since they haven't been reported on here or the Go North East website (which i assume always gives news for the week ahead rather than the last week???)

Not sure whether Stanley or struggling with vehicles at the moment or something. There was an Olympian on the 43/44 (I think!) again today, which done at least two runs.

We tend to report fleet movements and repaints as soon as they happen on this forum, meaning that we usually have the most up-to-date information.

As Go North East only updates its website once a week, it is usually behind, and it's very unusual for them to provide news for the week ahead. Indeed, a recent example of this is 4935's transfer to Chester-le-Street: it transferred on a Sunday, wasn't reported the following day when GNE had a fleet update, but was the Monday after that.

There are currently three vehicles on loan to Stanley to alleviate vehicle shortages, including:

• Chester-le-Street's Dennis Trident/East Lancs Lolyne 3868 (W178 SCU)
  
• Chester-le-Street's Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6026 (V226 LGC)
  
• Washington's Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6032 (V332 LGC)
  

8272 was loaned for at least 1 run as well. I mentioned the run it was on in the rare and odd workings thread.
3803 also seems to be VOR - havent seen it out since it was pulled out of service at the school because it had gained a fault. 3886 has been missing for a while too.

Yes, 8272 was just loaned to cover that one run of the Diamond yesterday and went back to Chester-le-Street later that morning.

Yeah, my school bus is timed to arrive around 3 minutes before that 44 run. It was slightly late and needless to say, im glad it was when i saw 8272 approaching. The sound it made when pulling away though - bliss! And for once, it wasnt covering for a citaro!

Mods, feel free to remove to a more appropiate place.

Quick wee question for my assignment. Did the first batch of Red Arrows Gemini 2s (i.e. 6001-6007) have their free wifi when they were brand new?

Yes, I believe so.

Making me out to be a liar, Go North East's "Enthusiast Area" section of their website has already been update, with fleet disposition for Monday 10th November already uploaded.

This details the transfer of MPD 524 from Washington to Riverside. As already discussed, this is for use on the Prudhoe Shuttle Service.

Quick question I saw 5320 in plain silver is it getting a rebrand and what route is it for?

I thought they did. Was just checking. Thank you

3874 still working off Percy Main, saw it arrive off a schools around 1600

635 was being driven NIS by a fitter earlier on.
Heading towards South Hetton, through Easington Lane.

At the same time, a yellow MPD was parked in the turning circle, sitting with its engine off and in complete darkness.

Was there someone on board, I dont know which turning circle you refer to, if it was Easington Lane, then the driver may have had a lady of the night with him or her(Easington Lane is a queer old place)

Your not wrong, someone was shouting at me from a Bedroom Window at the Turning Circle when I was taking a few Photos a Month or so back, couldn't get away quick enough, ended up waiting 20 Minutes at the Clock for an X1 to turn up.

No idea, just heard a Voice saying oi you

(07 Nov 2014, 6:57 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote No idea, just heard a Voice saying oi you

Knowing Easington Lane like I do they probably thought you were a policeman or from the dole who was very bad at surveillance or that you were a voyeur of some kimd

No idea, just heard a Voice saying oi you

I'd imagine it would be something like "stop taking photos you f***ing perv"
