Maybe even ask about what other routes are getting new buses

(17 Feb 2015, 11:27 am)Robert I think that might be giving too much away?...
That facebook comment just confirms what we already knew anyway. Should have asked about one of the other routes we think new buses would arrive for.
(17 Feb 2015, 11:30 am)aureolin I might sound a bit negative, but what the hell.
Is it just me who couldn't care less what buses they're getting? They'll arrive when they arrive, and we'll have a good 15 year to see, ride or photograph them.

(17 Feb 2015, 11:31 am)Michael Only route i care about is the Lime 8... lol
(17 Feb 2015, 11:55 am)Robert I think it is more of an interest than caring. Obviously, people who live on route such as the like will care but i wouldnt care for lets say the crusader (as an example) because i dont live on that route. I would be interested but i wouldnt care.

Perhaps you should try and find out by complaining about how old the buses are on a certain service eg. 31 (Toonlink) in the hope whoever is manning the Facebook says that the route will receive investment.
I imagine the Toonlink will receive some investment this year as the Renown's aren't DDA compliant along with the Lime examples. I'd imagine most of the routes GNE will invest in this year will be single decker routes as the Renown's have to be withdrawn by the end of the year with them not being DDA compliant.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

(17 Feb 2015, 11:31 am)Michael Only route i care about is the Lime 8... lolKeep forgetting to bring it up, but noticed on a few Nexus liners, that in the operator section for the 78, it is down as 'Go North East. Lime 78'. Whereas the brand for the 4, isn't listed at the same stops.

Maybe even seeing a debate about, dual doors, engine size and the suitability of Centrelink for deckers debate thrown in too - just for good measure.

(17 Feb 2015, 2:50 pm)Michael I'm not sure if the buses for the X66 will have duel doors... Citaro might be able to confirm?.. if not, i understand.
The NEXUS liners are always wrong, some have the 2/2A down as Silver Arrows.

(17 Feb 2015, 2:56 pm)Dan Even Go North East's website still has the 2/2A down as being branded "Silver Arrows"... I wouldn't expect Nexus (and associated contractors) to get it right if Go North East isn't updating their website properly...

(17 Feb 2015, 2:58 pm)Jimmi I doubt the X66 will have duel doors especially if it gets single deckers as there would be less seats and the X66 can get very busy especially on a weekend.
(17 Feb 2015, 2:50 pm)Michael I'm not sure if the buses for the X66 will have duel doors... Citaro might be able to confirm?.. if not, i understand.To be honest, I had never thought about the dual doors until seeing the ex-Oxford Renown on yesterda

The X66 I had been on yesterday was a bog standard GNE model, with the one door - but then you have the set up at Gateshead and potentially an entire bus inc standees queuing to get off via the one door.

(17 Feb 2015, 3:06 pm)Jimmi Yeah this is the problem, do they go for additional capacity or do they go for duel doors which means faster unloading times.
