RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2017 - S813 FVK - 04 Mar 2017
(04 Mar 2017, 10:22 am)Michael wrote Wonder if 604 will be replaced by 713 at Stanley then, so all there examples are in Venture?
It would make sense. Gives them an extra branded spare when the T1/T2 is not operating.
Hopefully the missing taglines (sorry!) on the Venture Solo SRs are replaced soon along with the route details on the Q3 and 58 Versas along with 5386. That being said, could the Citylink Versas be nearing a freshen up repaint to coincide with the 57 Citaros being repainted and refurbished.

Passed Saltmeadows 0815 this morning. Very cluttered. Don't they normally move/sell them on a lot quicker? Some, like the Nat Express coach seem to have been their ages. Also four of the Solo's from the West Country present. Any help with which ones would be helpful. only one I could see properly was WK59 CWW (Ex Plymouth 224) I believe. Further along the road was a Hexham based Scania approaching Saltmeadows.

I think the bus allocated to the Tesco Free Bus services will be 706 - the only example as yet unallocated, with 707/708 destined for Peterlee (presently being prepared for service at Deptford) and 709 having already entered service at Riverside on service 13. Didn't someone mention they saw one of these Solos heading up to Stanley recently?

Why is Peterlee getting 2?, i thought they only needed one to replace the MPD

Go North East are operating Rail Replacements today, on behalf of Northern. 5450 and 5462 are two of the buses allocated.

You would think if it was for the Venture they would use a Solo SR especially as one has just been painted into corporate livery.

Seems like all of the Crusader Citaros have. Saw 5329 without it as well today.

Dan. Why can I never find the news section on my mobile site now it's been missing for a few months. Have I hid it somewhere?

Click the three lines at the top right and it drops down a grey menu with five different options.
The news section is on the top row in the middle.

I don't have the 3 lines anymore. I used to but then you did an update and they no longer appear. I tend to have to spot someone pasting links to access it. As you have done just then

I think some heating modifications may be prioritised on the OmniDekkas - similar to what is being done on all Scania L94s in the fleet at the moment, with the bulk of the work being undertaken at Chester-le-Street Depot.

Most of them can't decide whether they want to be hot or cold and frequently change between the two.

Passed Saltmeadows and 5289 has received Wear Xpress branding.
Was also surprised to see 5274 there as well.

I also hope 638's tagline pleases everyone, it is the same as 633:

Go North East Trialed a B8RLE back in 2015, fleet number 9108.
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/item.php?operatorF=2&fleetnoF=9108
Doubt they will trial one again and they will probably just continue to buy streetlites.
