Solos or little versas would cope fine

35 definitely needs a full size bus most of the daytime. A Versa maybe fine, but a Solo definitely wouldn't.

Aye, least they'll be the same spec as the 8.

Warm day. Saltmeadows doors open nice and early. Noticed one of the open tops in their. No number plate unfortunately. Any ideas please?

Likely to have been 5397 as Alpha went to rescue that one this afternoon.

What is the blue bus with orange Angel on the back, in Riverside?

There's a Lolyne that's been converted to a mobile Creche there, it's quite often at Riverside, guess they get it repaired there?

Ah, explains why I'd never seen it before.

It's been a long-standing agreement with Go North East and the Crechmobile Project that they store their Trident at Riverside (previously Saltmeadows and Sunderland Road before that).

Go North East wash it and do a monthly safety check on it.

Cheers. I've sent the link to the pic to Bigun. 

I start off with the Crechmobile, it wasn't converted it was actually built like that as new for Gateshead Council. Here it is at Sunderland Road depot in 2005 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/9469682032 - come to think of it, not sure if it's ever been repainted.

Also for those looking for older GNE photos from 2003 onwards, feel free to browse through these galleries you won't be disappointed - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...825541528/

With the arrival of the X-Lines StreetDecks due in Sept and due to the numbers involved, will Hownsgill be loaned a StreetDeck from Chester Le Street for familiarisation purposes during the summer when the PVR requirement for school contracts etc is reduced?

You don't need famil on those. Its a double deck streetlite, a few buttons have been moved about but no difference to how every single one of our mercs has different button layouts.
