RE: Fleet Changes - Micheal Aaron - 16 Jun 2021 I'm sure stagecoach are the only company up here in the Ne to not have a pride/rainbow on any of there buses. I know Arriva do. But then again stagecoach up here won't even do heritage liverys. Wonder if we will get another Pride bus if 8335 gets done RE: Fleet Changes - JP6004 - 16 Jun 2021 (16 Jun 2021, 10:32 pm)Storx wrote Yeah I know totally including some big companies using the 6 flag for the NHS last year, Plymouth (I think it was) rebranding it's pride bus for it went down like a lead balloon being the biggest cock up.Yes their research dept leave a lot to be desired. I remember it though, it was very cringeworthy. Yea there is an online one, but still not same as proper pride. Drinking in front of a pc hardly the same of mingling with the regions fitties. Although could be viewed as a gimmick, a lot of companies including my own attended to show their support for the community and to show that they were an LGBT inclusive employer. The citaro and versa do look very faded now, I'd imagine they be they wont last too much longer RE: Fleet Changes - Michael - 17 Jun 2021 (16 Jun 2021, 4:57 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The 9 Yutong ‘Voltra’ vehicles will be delivered in mid 2022 - so plenty of time for all the speculation to take place I'm gonna say 5 for the 57 and 3 for the X66 + 1 spare.

They're going onto something at Sunderland though as they're in the new red/black livery.

They're going onto something at Sunderland though as they're in the new red/black livery. If I was going to guess the black and red ones would go on the 38/A and 33 with the older Solos going on the X6, making a Sunderland minibus network to match the new 2/2A brand. Unless there's enough to cover all the minibus routes, I'm not sure. RE: Fleet Changes - Big O - 20 Jun 2021 Sorry if this has been touched in before..but how busy is the 16/16A for it to warrant DDs?

RE: Fleet Changes - OrangeArrow49 - 27 Jun 2021 When are the fleet changes taking place? Interesting the Coaster is going back to single deckers. Sometimes the capacity is limited on the deckers. Singles deckers will probably be enough. RE: Fleet Changes - Micheal Aaron - 27 Jun 2021 Strange we haven't heard or seen anything to show this happing apart from this thread. There's isn't any coaster deckers in Saltmedows neither Durham Diamond StreetLite (supposed that's what the change is) to show the change We know about the versas as there's all the proof we need Still no confirmation on the Streetlites for the East Gateshead Orbit All we know is the Versa and nothing else. Unless we see timetable changes Random coaster buses at Saltmedows/DD Streetlites as well RE: Fleet Changes - ian foster - 28 Jun 2021 (27 Jun 2021, 8:04 pm)Micheal Aaron wrote Strange we haven't heard or seen anything to show this happing apart from this thread. I wonder if there will be a mass repaint of the effected buses once the schools finish. There will be plenty of spare buses to cover for those being repainted then RE: Fleet Changes - Michael - 28 Jun 2021 (28 Jun 2021, 10:43 am)ian foster wrote Ye, Deptford needs 43 buses repainted so every route has the brand "Sunderland Distract Berries" and with the school holidays coming up, its a perfect opportunity. Some of the B9's for the 58/93 and 94 brand are down Blackburn too... so I wonder if Deptford and Consett will do the same. RE: Fleet Changes - transportintyneandwear - 28 Jun 2021 Only the 2/2A will be branded Sunderland District Berries, others will be Sunderland District x RE: Fleet Changes - Michael - 28 Jun 2021 (28 Jun 2021, 7:06 pm)transportintyneandwear wrote Only the 2/2A will be branded Sunderland District Berries, others will be Sunderland District x You were just too late, Dan already confirmed it in another thread. RE: Fleet Changes - OrangeArrow49 - 01 Jul 2021 Are the OmniCitys staying on the 19? RE: Fleet Changes - Rapidsnap - 07 Jul 2021 Streetlite 5479 is parked in PM Depot.

I hope they figure out how to switch it off without switching off the ticket machine. RE: Fleet Changes - OrangeArrow49 - 07 Jul 2021 Are StreetLites going on the 42/42A? If so they won't be little as the Coaster is apparently getting StreetLites eventually. Sunderland and District Berries look good, even if the name is stupid.

New type for Percy main. Like I said previously I hope they remove the Black cats branding from the remainder of the Streetlites before they enter service. Remember what happened when they got the ex black cats solo's a couple of years ago. RE: Fleet Changes - Micheal Aaron - 08 Jul 2021 Wonder if there gonna leave the 1A/1B debrand and just have 2019 corp or there getting refurbishment after the Versas are all done RE: Fleet Changes - JP6004 - 08 Jul 2021 (08 Jul 2021, 12:50 pm)Micheal Aaron wrote Wonder if there gonna leave the 1A/1B debrand and just have 2019 corp or there getting refurbishment after the Versas are all doneWhy would they be refurbished, they're only 4yrs old!
