Thanks, not many, can see all of them gone by end of the year, we know a few will be withdrawn after the likes of the Metro replacement is finished etc. 




I would think 19 will be replaced by the 19 new buses for the Angel 
7 replaced by the new Gem 3 buses for the X9/X10 

That's 26, plus the ones which will get withdrawn after the metro replacement etc is finished.

(15 Aug 2017, 10:17 am)S813 FVK wrote The only thing that I have read that could suggest that new buses are coming for the Angel is that the 5 year period on the 21, as requested by the Green Bus Fund, ends next month. That doesn't necessarily mean that new buses are on their way either.

There need to change the via points as Dalton park is between peterlee and Newcastle and not Newcastle, peterlee, Dalton park then Middlesbrough. Has GNE sorted the X6/X7 via points out aswell as it's still has peterlee , Dalton park then Hartlepool coming from Sunderland .

Someone who works for GNE on here need to tell their commercial department the mistake before there screw up the Via points and also the mistake on the X6/X7 brand

What this means is that each journey from Newcastle to Middlesbrough is actually two journeys, using one bus.  The same applies for the return.  This is a work around for being able to use domestic rules instead of EU rules. There will be no need for a dedicated EU Rota at Riverside Depot, buses will not need tachograph, meaning that breakdowns can be covered much easier and allocation of duties will be simplified.  Arriva have been using this system on the X12 and 685for a while now.

(15 Aug 2017, 6:36 pm)a718abb wrote I think that's a good idea to use the current drivers who have knowledge of the route and diversions, which they will undoubtedly need when the A19 is blocked.

(15 Aug 2017, 9:14 pm)James101 wrote Looks like some thought has gone into this new livery, the shapes suit the angles of the Streetdeck body much better than curves sit on the X21s.

Are we to assume 'Journeys taken care of' is a new slogan?

(15 Aug 2017, 6:31 pm)S813 FVK wrote Looks like the X9 and X10 will now interwork with each other at each end.

The buggy policy has also been changed, meaning pushchairs will no longer need to be folded down while travelling.
