Gotta wait till May for the Coast & Country/ Red Kite ones!
Toonlink - confirmed for Omnicities?, and a whole new look... hopefully... its gonna be black and white... but keeps the ToonLink name.. (it kills me to say black and white )
2 more brands to be introduced to Sunderland routes..... That'll be the 35/36 and 61 brands...
-------------------------
Just spotted a mistake...
Drivers at Stanley, Deptford Chester-le-street and Riverside will be driving 33 new Shiny buses?
Deptford doesn't run the Red Kite, Coast & Country or X66, unless it means the brands, which tbh if they are the Citaro's.. not very new are they?
(16 Apr 2015, 3:28 pm)Robert wrote If they were, i would have thought it would have appeared in the article.
(16 Apr 2015, 3:24 pm)Robert wrote Think they are maybe referring to the brands rather than the buses in Deptfords case? It will be interesting to ssee if the 47 is transferred to Stanley along with the 45 and 46 or whether it will remain at Riverside
(16 Apr 2015, 3:33 pm)Michael wrote Maybe, atm i think they might be, rest of the order hasn't being released yet.
Would be good if Stanley gained the 47, not sure how much deadmilage would come up on it.
(16 Apr 2015, 3:30 pm)Tom wrote Yeah I think it's a mistake.
Unless they are getting cascades from Brighton?
I can only see the 17 getting Solars now - pretty good though still, much better than the B10s they currently have.

(16 Apr 2015, 3:43 pm)Tom wrote Yes but they won't run from Blackhall Mill to the depot?
One of them terminate at Winlaton Mill, and others will finish at Eldon Square.

Back to Drifter???
(16 Apr 2015, 3:38 pm)Michael wrote Some reason i see the X21 getting them, with the rest as spares.
Wonder when we'll get rest of the order... would like to see better buses on East Durham, North tyne links.
As for decker's ill go for Crusader only.
(16 Apr 2015, 3:52 pm)MrFozz wrote Remember the post I made a while back? The rumour a couple of weeks ago was East Durham will be getting Solo's
I will fully believe when I see it with my own mince's
(16 Apr 2015, 3:51 pm)Michael wrote I doubt it, going by they said "New brands"
I would like to see the brand include Dalton Park and Seaham.
As for the 35/35A/36... Something to with Sunderland
Although, we could be wrong and the 2 brands are services we don't expect...
(16 Apr 2015, 3:55 pm)MrFozz wrote A brand for Dalton Park...How does ParkLife sound...probably stupid all honesty
Seaham can sod off, they have there drifter [emoji14] lmao

(15 Apr 2015, 11:48 am)Andreos1 wrote Aye, the 26 stopped going that way and went to Birtley at some point in the late 70's/early 80's.Just to confirm for Andreos1, the 92 replaced the 26 around Wynbury Road etc., when the cross-river Metro was opened, the date was November 22nd 1981 to be precise.
It may have been when the metro started.
You should get that blog going again.
Used to read it (before I knew it was yours) and have had a look since.
(24 Apr 2015, 5:20 pm)Michael wrote Work will be commencing on the A19 to resurface the northbound carriageway between Dalton Park A182 junction and Doxford Park A690 junction.
The work is due to commence overnight from Sunday 26th April between 8pm and 6am until at least early May, with no works being undertaken on Saturday nights during this time period.
The diversion via Dalton Park, Houghton le Spring and Doxford Park to rejoin A19 will add approximately 15-20 minutes running time onto the evening journeys on X10 towards Newcastle.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works, which are outside of our control.
