(20 Feb 2015, 9:45 pm)Dan wrote GNE's financial year runs from June/July 2014 through to the following June/July.Ah right okay thank you, that makes a bit more sense
All of the deliveries for the 2013/14 year were complete by December 2013, hence why the guesses for the following year started tumbling in then.
GNE has gone for a late delivery this year, so it's still 2014/15.

(21 Feb 2015, 4:59 pm)Greg in Weardale wrote To continue being ridiculously pedantic, it's the island of Ireland consisting of the country of Eire (the republic) and Northern Ireland, part of the UK. So "Ireland" covers it all and a bus manufacturer in Ireland obviously refers to Wrights.We'll have to let Andreos off as common sense did not prevail on this occasion - reading on to see the discussion regarding Streetlites should have been the giveaway if there was any confusion!

If you got this information from a driver from GNE, he's going to be sacked if its true.
If you are in no way related to GNE, and stirring s**t, you are making yourselves look like an idiot.

I'm sure that Malarkey said that Citaro5284 put the orders on here that he would lose his job.

(21 Feb 2015, 7:50 pm)Dan wrote Nobody would lose their job if they put a list of the orders on here, but it's commercially-sensitive information at the end of the day...
If citaro5284 has a complete list of the vehicle orders for this financial year and he put them straight on here, don't you think that would put him in an awkward position with the Go North East employee(s) of senior management who provided him with this information?
(21 Feb 2015, 7:55 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote Awkward is in argument and losing friends or awkward as in being asked loads of questions relating to NEB?![]()
Random question: why are GNE being so sensitive over these orders, is this normal?
(22 Feb 2015, 5:13 pm)Michael wrote Does anyone know if the 8/8A/78/78A will retain the "Lime" brand when the new buses arrive? (discussed ages ago but as its getting closer to March, i thought i would be annoying and ask again)
I would like to see the brand changed...
Least then the bloody tab for it on the GNE can be updated!
(22 Feb 2015, 5:25 pm)citaro5284 wrote Thanks!!
To be honest and it is only my opinion, I cannot see the brand name changing, and it is only my opinion...honest, of course the CLS Mafia Marcus Man will think differently...
