They are based out of Percy Main depot for scholars/duplicates.

Not recent (for most of them) or a repaint but most if not all the 16/17 reg caetano levantes have been given a school bus vynil at the front and rear

Noted at Saltmeadows was 5390 painted into 2019 livery.
Also present was a white Wright Streetlite DF registration SK68TXO. Not sure if loan or second hand purchase.

Does anyone know why a drifter streetlite was parked up at saltmeadows road, might of been an issue with the streetlite or repaint maybe with refresh drifter livery?, was seen on a picture of the red eyms coach that was posted on neb

Also former Lothian Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 1 number 837 (SK07CBY) has popped up at Riverside depot where its parked next to a currently broken 3941.
Not sure if for parts, passing through or acquirement. It is however propped up on blocks so looks like it had been towed in.

It broke down whilst en-route to Ensign, towed into Go North East being one of the nearest operators who Ensign regularly deal with.

Fair play, no doubt awaiting their tow truck or a long distance towing firm to take it on its merry way to Essex.

Are they restarting the repaints of the Peterlee Solo's?
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 22 Mar 2021
666 is meant to be tracking on the 202 atm. Probably a ticket machine swap.

No, both suffered acts of vandalism at the weekend.

So if the drifter streetlites gets a fresh drifter rebrand , will the rear end get red livery and rest in light blue drifter?

Thank you for the info, googling the reg shows this was Ex 9066, presuming 9067/8 will be repainted to voyager also presuming they'll still be in numerical order so 9067 will become 6174 & 9068 will become 6175
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - ne14ne1 - 17 Apr 2021
Surprised to see a President has been given a repaint, albeit in plain red rather than full GNE livery so better for resale I guess, but what’s the story there? Is it staying for some time or was it done to increase its value?

Go North East Optare Solo SR 681 - Micheal Aaron Parker - 22 Apr 2021
So apparently according to bus org. Optare Solo SR 681 has been repaint into Voyager livery. It hasn't been seen since the 8th of April. Wonder if this is true or not

No, it has been repainted into Little Pinks livery and is returning from Read Commercials today.

RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Micheal Aaron Parker - 22 Apr 2021
So now apparently Optare Solo SR 723 is now in Voyager liverys. If the other one was fake then I'm guessing this one is as well. But tbh if this is fake someone needs to stop this as its basically trolling enthusiasts

I'm surprised this isn't done more often. Seems like good fun!

654 is now in Peterlee Purple Base livery.

RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Storx - 23 Apr 2021
Peterlee Locals would be absolute horrific brand imo especially when one service runs from Durham to Sherburn, another runs from Durham to Seaham and a third runs from Durham to Wheatley Hill and go nowhere near Peterlee at all.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 23 Apr 2021
Think its juat referred to as Peterlee Local livery until the actual brand name is revealed. 654 was unbranded.
