I hate to say it but also and unpopular opinion 

The Cobalt & Coast Volvo B9 are what I'd call a proper refurbishment. They had the whole lot done to it. 
Tables, New USB, New Flooring, Completely done on the inside, New Seats, Lift up seats at the back

Everything done after that has just been a copy past. New Livery & NSA updated (New seats on some)

It just feels like GNE at one point had a plan to do everything the same. A whole refurbishment but for some reason that dropped off

Crusader was New Livery, Seats & USB

Durham Diamond New Livery, New Seats (not sure on USB)

Cityrider New Livery, New Seats

StreetLite were just a Livery update

This ain't to say its never gonna happen. I just wanna know why Cobalt & Coast was the only brand to get the whole wack

While driving down Shields Road, Walkergate earlier this evening, I was confronted by a Cardiff Corporation Scania bendibus being driven in the opposite direction. It displayed ON TEST in the blinds and was in full Cardiff livery with reg CN06 GFK and fleetnumber 614. I couldn't tell whether it had just come out of Walkergate depot, or had just been driven past, so I am putting this thread under Stagecoach, just in case.

Another possibility could be that GNE have acquired it for schools contracts from Percy Main to replace Omnidekkas, or a local independent has purchased it. Again, someone locally could be carrying out servicing work on it, but I have to say that none of these options seem very likely.

Does anyone have any info about why the vehicle has appeared in Newcastle ?

Have any Go North East/Go Ahead Northern buses ever carried the following fleet numbers

3683
3790
3805
4799, 4800
4826, 4827, 4828, 4831

Also what was the reason Dart MPDs 8186-8200 were renumbered to 486-500 were they numbered in the wrong range in the first place?

I been hearing that's 7424/25/26 are getting replace this year is this true

Has anyone any ideas about what is happening with 5293. Also what is happening about 5323 - 5326 as they still have not been repainted for the blues.

Seeing as Interior branding is gonna be happening more this year, and since now the Loop & EG Rider have received them. Post here interior branding photos and that and discuss the thoughts on them

Bus fares across Greater Manchester will be capped at £2 for adults and £1 for children as the network comes back under public control.

The region will be the first area outside London to have a regulated bus system since the 1980s.

Anyone else been charge for multiple tickets when only buying one on gne or any other service using contactless. I've just check my account and there are 6 pending transactions for 5.50 which only one is correct when I bought a tyne and wear ticket. Am hoping when they become "proper" transactions that gne only take one lot of money!
