All full size single deck buses over 7.5 tonnes will be fully accessible from 1 January 2016, and all double deck buses from 1 January 2017. New buses weighing up to 7.5 tonnes and coaches will be required to have wheelchair access from 1 January 2005. All buses weighing up to 7.5 tonnes will be fully accessible from 1 January 2015 and coaches by 1 January 2020.

(27 Jan 2014, 4:03 pm)Dan wrote That will be down to a number of the Cadets being at Peterlee.

(27 Jan 2014, 4:08 pm)Michael wrote I thought the 29 was Solar worked anyway.. or it's supposed to be.

Shouldn't matter if theirs a few cadet's away

(27 Jan 2014, 4:11 pm)Dan wrote That was originally speculated on the forum, but I undertand that the Cadets are to be allocated officially.

(27 Jan 2014, 10:41 am)andreos1 wrote They will be questions we are all wanting to know the answers to and no doubt we have all had a sleepless night wondering - but:

* Did Malarkey find Ingeus? YES

* Did he get there on time? NO (10 Minutes Late)

* Which buses did he use to get there? X1 to Wrekenton then Sainsbury's Free Bus

* Did he have red or brown sauce on his bacon sandwich? Didn't have time for Bacon Sandwich as I was running late having over slept, And I don't like Red or Brown Sauce

* Is the course full of things he has done already? No Idea as i'm getting Transferred over to Sunderland instead, so my start date has changed to Next Monday, so that I don't have catch up on over a Weeks work

* Did he manage to catch sight of the new x66 branding? Yes and it looks Pretty Epic - Saltmeadows Bus Driver showed me a Photo on his Camera whilst both took photos of 5390 with it's White Blind on the Saltwell Park 53 at Gateshead Interchange

(27 Jan 2014, 5:00 pm)CatsFast101 wrote I'm sure one of GNE representatives said this, rather than forum discussion/speculation. However, i imagine if Solars are to be allocated; Solars will probably be considered as the best choice to cover on branded services (60, 35, 20, 2A/2C) so cadets will fill the void on the 26.
Also there's only just say enough cadets to match PVRs of 29/38.

(27 Jan 2014, 5:15 pm)citaro5284 wrote Just to confirm, service 29 should be Cadets on 5 boards. There is a further 3 boards which should be Scania L94, with 1 of those boards doing 29's in between Scholars

(27 Jan 2014, 7:39 pm)Michael wrote Cheer's.

Any idea what the Northern Scania's are being used on?

(27 Jan 2014, 7:45 pm)CatsFast101 wrote I imagine spares. Thinking about it, SPD's were only really allocated to the 26; 2 I believe were required, which left 9 for spares. There's now three allocated Solars, 11 are left for spares.
