(19 Apr 2017, 1:18 pm)missedbus Blaydon Racers will, once again, be gannin' along the Scotswood Road, so it's the appropriate route. The buses actually serve Blaydon Bus Station too.
As for MetroCentre Mini, I'm sure it's not lost on people that it's been done before (with Renault S56s and Optare Metroriders), just not in the Stanley area.

(19 Apr 2017, 6:40 pm)Andreos1 Stanley Taxis had the MC series from Stanley to Metrocentre for a period. I think GNE continued these for a period until the Marshall Darts appeared under the Stanley Shuttle brand.
I had my last ride on an Optare Lance around that period. Stanley had a loan resplended with A4 sized destination blinds.

(19 Apr 2017, 12:37 pm)RBZ 5459 Yes suggestion is they are due to go green, perhaps they've leaked that one a bit early...
The full PVR was said to be achieved by the TTX B9s later on.

Not sure if any Dennis Lance / Optare Sigma's actually ran up in Derwentside. A DAF SB220 / Optare Delta yes, but don't recall Sigmas seeing use up there.

4774 later went to Washington and Deptford depots before finally being withdrawn once again. Lasted quite a while despite being a bit of an oddball.
Saw a post on The Real UK Bus Enthusiasts group on Facebook about the new blaydon racers.

At least one ran up there. Well after the Delta's had gone.
It was a short-term spell and after a period of missing it, managed to catch it one cold, dark evening at Dipton on a run to Stanley.

Volvo B9TL 6099 should also now carry a slightly modified version of the Sun FM promotional livery - with updated logos for both Go North East and Sun FM.

(20 Apr 2017, 5:36 pm)Michael The promotion livery looks decent, is it on both sides?, wonder if Stagecoach will have one?

(20 Apr 2017, 5:46 pm)Dan Yes, it's on both sides. S813 FVK will be happy too, as it's another one with feature symbols added (we're getting there - slowly but surely!)
Doubtful that Stagecoach will have one. Think their last partnership livery was 20724, done up in a special livery to promote Sun FM? Some 9 years ago! I bet Greg in Weardale prefers Go North East's version...
