When are 691/692 arriving?

I would imagine, 2 of the Citaro's will be staying at Peterlee until they enter service?

Not looking for libelous answers, and talking purely professionally; Its just been announced that First Manchester are getting a new MD in the New Year. Its Phil Medlicott who used to be at SGNE. Can anyone shed any light on what he might change in terms of policy?

Do something amazing... How many of you do it?

I don't know if anyone has noticed but the VOSA website has been closed by the Civil Service and moved across to the www.gov.uk portal. It's impossible to use and I can't see anywhere to search using dates.

Only service which i could see getting an increase, would they have enough gas buses though, in total,  they only have 5 spares out of the 40 gas buses. 


Unless its the 18/19 getting increased....



Have those Enviro's from Scotland entered service yet?, if not, maybe they can used on the new Sunderland express service?
