I think the Loop will get the Citaro's, 9 Citaro's - 8 for the PVR plus one spare, the Loop Scania's to replace older Scania's in the fleet and the 3 remaining B10's. 


In the 2017/2018 financial year, i think the Green/Blue Arrow will receive new buses, hence why i think the "Loop" will receive the ex Blaydon Racer ones.

(21 Mar 2017, 6:58 pm)Tom wrote I agree with Blue Arrow and Green Arrow getting new buses, especially as the 11 seems to be growing in passenger numbers (probably as people around here still don't know which bus goes where!)

See a few 11s with high passenger numbers heading towards Newcastle from Wallsend but never seems to be as busy heading back for some reason.

Likewise is the Indigo East Durham Solo now based at Percy Main likely to have its branding updated to reflect that of Indigo North Tyne?

Timetable updates, buses and tag lines featured. I think it's interesting how the format has been changed to "{month}{year} edition".

(22 Mar 2017, 2:22 pm)cbma06 wrote It's says edition, as timetable updated but there's no change of service, busways and stagecoach and go ahead northern all used to have the edition when there's no change to service and only thing is new is paper timetables.

93/94 ?

(23 Mar 2017, 4:23 pm)Michael wrote Looks like it, or the Toonlink unless another brand is getting a redesign but i would say the "Loop".

(23 Mar 2017, 5:59 pm)Tom wrote I would say they are for the 12/12A and the Omnicities have been mentioned about possibly going to Stanley?

(23 Mar 2017, 7:44 pm)Michael wrote Only 5 are needed but probables include one spare.

Wonder where the rest of the Citaro's would go?, Deptford for the 9 to be full Citaro or the 61?

(23 Mar 2017, 8:01 pm)Michael wrote Would they need 4 spares though, the 27 and 57 already have 3.
