(23 Apr 2018, 10:19 am)RBZ 5459 wrote No problem Glen. 22514 is out on the 10 today, 22515 hadn't made it out as of 9 this morning.

22513 briefly went back to Slatyford for maintenance, but has returned to Walkergate and is out on the 18 today. 22512 (also now Walkergate-based) is not out as far as I'm aware. 

22341, 22342, 22065 and 22066 have all completed their move to Slatyford now.

(23 Apr 2018, 2:51 pm)RBZ 5459 wrote If you mean the red MANs, no they're only used for training duties as they have been converted internally. 22076 (Walkergate) is the only one in Newcastle complete at present, 22072 is still looking sorry for itself on the back fences at Slatyford prepped for repaint but not internally modified.

22514/5 both in the shed.

(24 Apr 2018, 5:10 pm)Dan wrote Hopefully nothing too serious!

20121's engine is defective, so that one looks likely to become a candidate for scrap. 

(24 Apr 2018, 5:17 pm)Cock Robin wrote Think 20121 is the one inside being used for spares? Well 20275 is a long way off being ready still!

(28 Apr 2018, 12:26 am)OrangeArrow49 wrote I believe there are in service on the 12. I was on a Kinetic on Wednesday and later a Kinetic passed me operating the 12.

(28 Apr 2018, 9:29 pm)Ianthegoon wrote Yes.  Already reputed to be causing confusion amongst punters at the Metrocentre who had got used to seeing it on the GNE X66, and are now faced with seeing the same bus working for a rival operator to a different destination!
