I follow GNE on Twitter,and it seems the reliability is struggling lately,eg 11,19,and 42's not running due to breakdowns,im sure its not just GNE,im not trying to single them out,its just theyre the only bus company i follow on Twitter

So are all these repaints going to be up and running for the service changes on 5th Sep. I think they still have most of the Tyne valley ten buses to do yet.

Could someone compile a list of the the new liverys and the number associated with the livery. Preferably with the type of buses aswell. I'm a little lost with all these changes to be honest.

Got caught off guard this afternoon by Mercedes-Benz eCitaro (MB21 BUS) - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ed-public/

It appeared to be out on a test run, would've got a better shot if I stayed where I was on St. Omers Road for another few minutes... but these things happen.

According to the ever reliable bustimes, 3942 is now silver and 5391 yellow/cream

Looks like GNE have produced a map for all the services together.

6071 has been repainted to Blue back and Green front.

Not the best colour combo... might change my mind when its branded.



Won't let me upload a picture...............

5400 and 5405 have both been off service since the 13th August, have they gone for a repaint?

This seems to be getting a push at the moment - from Transport North East: https://www.transportnortheast.gov.uk/bi...versation/
Closing date is 10th September, which is probably also the last date we'll hear anything about it..

What service will be used for 3941, bustimes says it has been painted in a lime green 

So it's a month away till the 2021 Great North Run.

With the route now changed to finish at the Town Moor and to Cross the Tyne Bridge twice. Looking at the route map bus diversion are gonna be pretty fun.

Main key parts of the map
Finish at Town Moor
Crossing the Tyne Bridge on the way back going via St Mary Place & John Dobson Street 
Runners will turn round at the Whitemare Pool roundabout
