Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone could tell me why the Go North East Leyland Lynes were rebuilt both at the front and rear? Was also wondering when these rebuilds were done? When they were brand new they looked like this at the front: - https://www.flickr.com/photos/ian_simpson/2938247546 and then rebuilt to look like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/66289212@N07/49926097833. When they were new I remember they had the number plate on the bonnet at the rear and i'm sure it was moved to the top right corner and a new bonnet was fitted. Also noticed they done a rear rebuild with some of the ex MCW Metrobus Mark IIs. Just asking out of curiousity really as I have been watching some old bus vids on YouTube.

Thanks

My colleagues in the PSV Circle have reported a replacement 7513 in the form of LJ61 CHG, formerly Arriva London North T203, a classic Enviro 400. Presuming it is having the centre door removed before it comes north to Durham/Teesside.

Wonder if a replacement for 7508 is on the cards too. Can't remember if that was an accident victim as well, or just past its best !

Does anyone know where 7555/53 are and when they're expected to be back, both have been off the road for a considerable amount of time.

More misery on the horizon for Arriva Northumbria?

Is anyone else having issues with buses showing up on the app?

I've recently noticed that Ashington's solos have been incredibly unreliable and constantly braking down (2853 seems to be the worse of the lot for it). Ashington should send them back where they cane from and get the E200s back or some pulsars in return as Darlington clearly knew that those solos were a problem and took the first opportunity to dump them off on another depot.

With the withdrawal of the 97 meaning the Green Arrow comes to an end, The Enviro 200MMC's will be set free from the 97.
I wonder what GNE will do to them?
Some to Percy Main for the 1? New Metrocentre Shuttle X66's? Or All becoming corp?
