There shouldn't be many old deckers left in the fleet for Go North East to replace.

Once again on my phone, so can't have a look.

4942/43 were the first to transfer
5210 has now transferred to Riverside
5229 has now left Hexham - still at Saltmeadows Road at the moment having been repainted into fleet livery.

I know the Solos are allocated as following:
680S: 635 or 636
185/681/X81: 667
74: 668
683/684: 669
686: 670/671
688: Spare bus?
I would imagine that the 689 is operated by Stanley on Saturdays as it does not interwork with service 686?
Does anyone have correct allocations for Tynedale Links services?

(07 Oct 2017, 2:29 pm)Michael wrote Ah right, the way you wrote your post, sounded like the new buses had started to arrive.

Not sure on the 1 myself as it's not a route I regularly see or use but I could imagine that one being busy at times, especially on a hot summer's day.

My thing with this though, I can't see Go North East wanting to upgrade any single decker routes to double deck operation unless they feel it's absolutely necessary and even then I think it could come at a cost of a frequency decrease, that's why I was always thought that the hybrids wouldn't go on the 27.
