(01 Mar 2015, 11:01 am)Dan Not yet, though there should be some new arrivals tomorrow.
8325 and 8327 still yet to be repainted, to conclude the repainting of that batch of vehicles, amongst further Volvo B7TLs.

(01 Mar 2015, 11:07 am)Michael Cheers for the update, Hopefully 8325/27 should be done this week.
I would imagine that re-paints of branded buses will start later this month to, along with de-branding of other routes?

(01 Mar 2015, 11:09 am)Dan The "Red Kite" branded vehicles will need doing at some point - but probably not for another month or so yet. Imagine it'll be more of a priority to get the X66 and Lime sorted out with new vehicles first.

(01 Mar 2015, 11:15 am)Jimmi The Red Kite Omnicity's could maybe operate devoid of branding in plain red before going in for repaint - doubt that will happen though.

(01 Mar 2015, 11:11 am)Michael I'll have to try and get some last rides on the 3 remaining branded Limes...
I thought the Red Kite would of got bigger buses, every time iv'e seen the service, its being busy.

(01 Mar 2015, 5:45 pm)MurdnunoC Outside of peak-hour journeys (and possibly weekends) the Red Kites are not that busy. The point really hits home when deckers are allocated to the route(s) and you see them almost deserted. Even the Venture Solos are only half full whenever they're allocated for whatever reason.

The outstation at Consett closed on Monday 23 February and the 12 Optare Solos returned to Stanley.

Hope the driver of 5358 has filled in their defect sheet or at least whoever gets in it first in the morning does a decent pre-shift check.
Looks like a bulb has blown on its headlights.
It may have been my eyes, but one looked out on a rear cluster too.
ISTR that Wifi and sockets were promised for X84/X85, yet my recent journeys have been without either.
Am I mis-remembering?

82/82A - Will be changed back to its old route in Birtley to cope with Birtley
45/46 - Streetlights will be used
X66 - Streetlights, silver branded
