RE: Go North East - Secondhand Deckers 2022 - Rapidsnap - 12 Sep 2022

Most bus stations in the North East would have issues with Dual Door buses.

Only ones that can completely used easily by Dual Door Buses are Gateshead, MetroCentre, Washington Galleries, Hexham, Killingworth, Blyth, Ferryhill, Four Lane Ends and Regent Centre.

All the others are either Drive On Reverse Off or have badly positioned street furniture / shelters blocking the second doors.

(12 Sep 2022, 4:03 pm)Storx wrote Bus stations are the issue in the North East in particular Haymarket and Eldon Square as the middle door is behind the no go barrier so they couldn't get on at all.

At South Shields and stands A-G at Park Lane, the centre door would just empty onto the road (assuming another bus isn't blocking it).

Bishop could probably use dual door buses with no 'problem', it's not as if drivers ever actually line the door up with the opening anyway so you either have to squeeze through the gap, or walk around!

And where the 56 parks.

Seems GNE have either bought / loaned some ex L&G Coaches President’s

RE: Go North East - Secondhand Deckers 2022 - Rapidsnap - 12 Sep 2022

L&G are running a few scholar services on behalf of GNE. It's the same arrangement when A-Line / Stanley have provided a driver and bus to cover GNE journeys

RE: Go North East - Secondhand Deckers 2022 - Jack Gill - 19 Sep 2022

This has probably already been answered, but are the E400's staying after the metro replacement contract has ended?

RE: Go North East - Secondhand Deckers 2022 - F114TML - 19 Sep 2022

Would they go to the expense of refurbing and painting them just for a few months' work?

Oh dear - this one has backfired on you!

The E400s are planned to stay and will replace 6901-19.

Assuming 282-291 won't be up here for awhile since they're still in active service in London on the 321.

Not too sure, I was reading the GoAhead London bus forum before and it seems like they don't have a clue either, just a lot of speculation.

Unlikely. Bus Times recent changes suggest that neither 6198 nor 6204 are actually here yet, yet more "tracking errors" apparently.

RE: Go North East - Secondhand Deckers 2022 - nova347 - 30 Sep 2022

I know we won't be getting any more London deckers after these for a while but does anyone think that we would ever get any of the new Routemasters from London?

Doubt it, the back stair case would just be a total waste of space and have no purpose when there's hundreds of other buses to choose from. Not to mention the ramp is in the middle door so would be expensive to convert. They'll go straight to scrap mostly imo.

RE: Go North East - Secondhand Deckers 2022 - omnicity4659 - 01 Oct 2022

Some New Routemasters are already being scrapped.

They’re going through a refurbishment programme at the moment. Seats all being re-trimmed in a newer moquette and the exteriors repainted.

I believe these are L&G Coaches Vehicles covering Go North East Scholars Contract's for St.Roberts School in Washington.

202-210 in L&G Coaches fleet.

Go North East has sub-contracted 8x Nexus Miscellaneous Works contracts to L&G after they lost all their contracts.

These contracts run with L&G Coaches’ buses and drivers.

Today, Go North East sub-contracted a shuttle bus in operation between Durham University and Redcar Racecourse to L&G Coaches using five of their buses.

Other sub-contractors ran from Saltmeadows today on the same event.

I think part of the reason why they're owned by TFL was because of their limited second life. Not much call for a 2 staircase, 3 door bus outside of London; and leasing were reluctant to expose themselves to the risk of getting stung.
