(07 Nov 2014, 3:35 pm)Dan wrote 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.

also shows 5275-79 as no longer Blaydon Racer (technically correct but strange if they are to regain Blaydon Racer branding).
5281 is now shown as having WIFI.

4935 is now shown as a CLS bus. (eventually)

(07 Nov 2014, 7:27 pm)park5354 wrote 5281 is now shown as having WIFI.

That was the 'trial' bus for wifi at Washington when it was on Red Arrows and it is still fitted at the minute.

Aye Fozz, the Easington Lane turning circle.

It was in total darkness, so no idea if anyone was on the vehicle or not.

Not sure if it's worth much, but my ticket from 6094 today shows it out to be 5217, wonder what 5217's tickets said!

Ta Marcus, getting it checked.  5217 will probably show 5217 as well

Oh right, is that not meant to happen? It happens to me every once in a while, like.

No, the fleet number on the ticket should match the fleet number you are actually on.  It happens when an ETM has came off for a fault, been fixed by ERG so it goes into the spare pool at the depot and is then put onto another vehicle without the fleet number getting changed.

Ah, I get it now. For a long period of time about a year and a half ago, I remember 4853 used to show 8238, when the latter had only just been transferred to Chester.

Isn't the fleet number held in the baseplate? As we used to swap machines quite regularly at Stagecoach

i got the same 2 years ago when travelling on a dart and the ticket displayed something like 4846 some crap like that and it was a Northern Dart on 27 I was heading to gateshead from Heworth to photograph photos with anth

Seems appropriate to mention given that I'm preparing the news...

Earlier this year, due to an accident, Riverside-based "Nexus" branded Optare Solo SR M890/Optare 634 (NK61 FJO) was temporarily withdrawn. This vehicle is undergoing repairs at Saltmeadows Road at present, and has recently been treated to a repaint back into Nexus base livery colours, suggesting that the vehicle is almost ready to return to service.

One week late - made you wait for three instead of two!  

Reports from Prudhoe about a lack of buses.

Not directly involved - just heresay from people expecting visitors from Prudhoe who waited in vain for a bus to Corbridge.

Was this because of Remembrance services?

I'd imagine so.

Last year, it took me over an hour to get back to Sunderland from Ryhope (a 10-15 minute journey by bus). See bus timetable at a stop in Ryhope here - despite there being nine buses per hour, it actually took an entire hour for one bus to turn up.

They've swapped them now.

hopefully more news and details and repaints plus some cool new things including future orders and others

Might have a while then.

Unless he knows something that we dont since he has used the word 'including' (suggesting that the orders have been revealed but we dont know about them yet he does).
He clearly didnt read Malarkey's post which i seem to remember read 'patience is virtue' unless it was written in a different language...

Go North East's orders have not been revealed as no vehicles have - as of yet - been ordered.

Although I could be wrong, I'm doubtful confirmed details of Go North East's orders will even hit the public domain until the vehicles are due to arrive, as, if I remember rightly, it was not planned for these details to hit the public domain last year either. Until then, I think it'll be a case of hints and suggestions, with some brands being excluded by process of elimination with repaints.

Random thing to add, but I was in a meeting with the Chair of Governers at my school, and he mentioned he had a very small share in GNE. I was really surprised, like.

Probably the unused section of a return ticket.

5321 now back at Deptford following repaint. 5322 should therefore go to Saltmeadows tomorrow morning for repaint.
