(21 Aug 2017, 1:04 pm)Jamie M two 94s isn't really something rare to see, when I went to Gateshead College, it was fairly standard to see two of them. If there were two Q2s, however, that meant that there was something seriously wrong.
Google maps says there's works on at New Durham Road and that Old Durham Road is gridlocked at the QE.

(21 Aug 2017, 12:36 pm)Andreos1 Chaos on the 93/94 and Q1/Q2.
Presumably the same with the 1, 21 and X21.
Three Q1's on Beacon Lough bank earlier and 2 93's.
Two 94's followed in quick succession in the other direction.
If only there was some sort of flexible route for the X21. Bet that would be a great help

Thankfully the slightly overrunning Kells Lane junction roadworks are now cleared.
When Durham Rd snarls it's pretty impossible to do anything, potentially the X21 could deposit any Low Fell bound passengers onto a 21 at Harlow Green Bridge and divert but I guess that's extreme,
I still think pressure could be relieved with a short running Newcastle to Angel service at peak to hoover up Low Fell to Allerdene customers, , its nicely lined up for the never to happen Eighton Park and Ride
Jackson St and High St West closed again, never bloody open.
My 56 was 4 minutes early this morning , walking to work and all deptford drivers waving and smiling at me .
(20 Aug 2017, 6:01 pm)Michael Anymore Citaro's arrived back from Blackburn?, if so which ones?
(22 Aug 2017, 9:24 am)Dan 5317 was towed back on 11/08/2017, returning to service yesterday following repairs.
5318 will be towed back tonight, with 5328 being sent down to Blackburn in exchange.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:30 am)Michael Thanks for the update.
Did 5298 and 5299 receive WIFI before they went to Blackburn, as the icon is missing from the fleet list.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:30 am)Dan No, they haven't yet received Wi-Fi. Although it forms part of the refurbishment upgrade, the Wi-Fi is fitted directly by Icomera's engineer here in the North East, rather than at Bus & Coach World (like everything else). That's why everything being refurbished has already received Wi-Fi.
5298 is currently away receiving Eminox modifications at their factory in Gainsborough, and 5299 is away for refurbishment at Blackburn. They'll both be fitted on return from these places, instead.

(22 Aug 2017, 9:33 am)Michael Ah right thanks.
They seem to flying through the Citaro's now, less than 20 to do now?, not on my computer so can't check the fleet list properly.

I'm interested to see 37 and 38 after refurbs. They're like the 1980-1990s office scene, yellow cream plastic.

Someone on a bus grpup on facebooks just said this "For all of you Go North East veg, just to inform you you will be getting YX58 DXB-DXD, from Metrobus Croydon. Will be a shame to see them go, but I guess it's saved from scrap or a fate."
