Now, it's plain to see why a certain well-respected member of the North East Community no longer posts nor wishes to have his name posted as a source on this forum. In fact, I myself am now also considering whether I should remain on this forum - when I offer genuine reliable information, I get called a liar!

Multi21 was perhaps suggesting that the vehicles could, at some point (not necessarily in the near future), move away from South Shields - given that they allegedly have 15 further years of service in them! On that note, I really can't see those 39xxx's sticking around for 20 years in total? May just be me, but 15 years in total would have been my maximum...

The certain well-respected member of the North East Community you refer to decided to stop posting after an issue with one individual member who still remains on the forum: now it (rather annoyingly) seems he has an issue with a substantial number of people on the forum without reason provided! If this has moved to the extent of no longer wishing to be quoted as a source, then he perhaps wouldn't appreciate posts being made about him in this manner, so possibly best to move on...
