(23 Jan 2019, 8:27 am)Swiny1 I couldn't agree with you more but I've heard deffo 4 getting new buses. I think the Mercs are a great fit for the 4 and don't understand. Ive actually heard a number of things like I said so I'm just gonna wait and see what happens or turns up but it is supposed to be soon

(25 Jan 2019, 9:17 am)RBZ 5459 Streetlites for the 4 does seem to be the motion from what I hear.
On another note, also hearing that the first Cobalt Clipper B9s have now left for Blackburn for their refurbishment programme.
(25 Jan 2019, 11:10 am)RBZ 5459 I think tables were on the cards(?), and I guess going down to Blackburn would mean a full upgrade inline with the new interior spec.

(25 Jan 2019, 12:02 pm)Michael Good, they don't need upgrading, a refurb will be better.

(25 Jan 2019, 1:27 pm)Dan The Optare Versa xFE demonstrator bus recently with Weardale has now landed at Go North East - it had been intended to be used here first hence why its stint at Weardale didn't last very long... It'll be used at Washington on the 4.
6101 is the bus that has gone for repaint and refurbishment. 5201, originally withdrawn, has been MOT'd and re-instated. It's intended to return to Chester-le-Street to release 5205 (float) to Percy Main to cover for it. It'll be joined by two further float Scania L94s this weekend.

(25 Jan 2019, 2:43 pm)RBZ 5459 Interestingly 5201 was down at Percy Main this morning.

(25 Jan 2019, 2:48 pm)Dan Yes - as I said before, it has been MOT'd and reinstated.
Currently allocated to Percy Main to cover for 6101, but long-term 5205 will serve this purpose (with 5201 returning to Chester-le-St in full service), along with the other two float Scania L94s in the fleet.

(25 Jan 2019, 6:11 pm)Michael Wonder if this confirms that the Red Arrow will be getting new buses?, really thought they would of gone before the Cobalt Clipper B9's.

(25 Jan 2019, 8:45 pm)L469 YVK Update: Spoke to driver on 309 tonight who said that there'll be no new buses and refurbs only for Cobalt Clipper. However, the 309 and 310 will become mostly standalone later this year with new timetable supposedly.
