Spotted on another forum, interesting to see how this plays out...

Link to Investis website with statement from Go-Ahead.

Possibly deserves its own thread now it appears to be actually happening.
I'd posted it initially in the Northern thread October last year. I wasn't holding my breath anything would come of it.

Seems plans are afoot to create a load of new rail links.

GNE appear to have aquired an ilesbus citybus i-max demonstrator RV22 DMY.

Here's a post about it on Dan's twitter:

I've heard Chester-le-Street depot is closing around the same time as well.

Nigel will take up the position at the end of August, replacing Martijn Gilbert who has decided to move on after four years at Go-Ahead for an opportunity elsewhere in the transport industry.

Presently head of Go-Ahead’s Manchester bus operation which employs 600 people, Nigel Featham has many years’ experience in the industry across the north of England. Between 2011 and 2019, he was Arriva’s regional managing director for Yorkshire and the north-east.

As part of a restructuring, Go-Ahead is to recruit an Area Director for the north-east, reporting to Nigel.

Additionally, East Yorkshire Buses, which presently reports into Go North East, will become accountable directly to Go-Ahead Group with its present Area Director, Ben Gilligan, promoted to Managing Director.

Look out for further details in the next issue of CBW

Is anyone else having issues with Tapatalk since Dan forgot to pay the bills?

It keeps signing me out, and doesn't even show in my following list

Did someone forget to put the 50p in the meter?

Saturday 28th May (today) sees a number of venues in North Shields & Tynemouth hosting live music 

Go North East are using Double Decker buses for this which travel between the venues

The post reads:
All ticket holders will have access to over ten venues and a bespoke double-decker bus service provided by us.

Hope they all enjoy an OmniDekka then. Unless they give them open toppers or Cobalt & Coast Buses and the 309/310/311 end up with a few OmniDekka scattered all over the routes
