Dan. Any news on Fleet Changes in the last couple of days. Regards Robin

Still expecting a cheesy launch outside Barry's Bargains with Ventureman (pants on the outside for effect) launching it.

Saying that, it is nice for Derwentside to get new vehicles.
It must be 7 years since the last new vehicles were stabled at Stanley.

Well we haven't got a thread for these yet so thought I may as well start one...

Just overtaken EOS 891HUO on the M62 which is in use as the team coach for Blyth Spartans today, they've been at FC United of Manchester.

Everyone is probably aware of it by now, about the terrible incident in Glasgow last night.

Hopefully there won't be a number of deaths as initially anticipated.

I have just come Across a Rare Bus for sale, its a Wright Meridan

Now being aware some of you folks are underage (not that it makes much difference these days!)

I'm interested in how much everyone knocks back the demon booze in their spare time!

Have to say, I'm well over the Government's limit. I work a lot from home and end up doing 60 hour weeks (though being mobile makes it less taxing as if I was office attached) and attend a lot of business lunches.

I looked at the past year and worked out I've been having on average, a bottle of wine a day. Now I know that isn't good but I don't consider myself an alcoholic. I don't drink during the day, I'm not dependent and can happily go without but its become almost routine!

So, NEB Forumers....fancy a pint?

If I worked in a service industry yes I would.

Slight side note 430 jobs going at Npower Rainton Bridge and cost cutting reviews continuing. Potential effect on the 921

Interesting way of killing 5 minutes, if you're bored!

Optare Solo SR operated by SB Travel now retorned to the depot after being off the road for 7 months. It has been fitted with a brand new MAn engine and cooling system. SB10 BUS will return to service on Monday morning on service 108 Bishop Auckland-WearValley Estate replacing Optare Solo V69 GEH. This Solo will remain in the fleet as a spare.
