(23 Mar 2015, 12:10 pm)Dan wrote Transbus MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 561 (NK53 TLF) was returned to Deptford this morning, after having additionally been re-trimmed. Hexham's former "Tynedale Links" branded 557 (NK53 TKV) arrived at Saltmeadows this morning in its place for the same treatment.
Stanley's former "Red Kite" branded Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB) is, as we speak, in the process of being prepared for its repaint, ahead of new vehicles arriving for the "Red Kite" services in the coming weeks and its consequent cascade to another service.
There have been no new arrivals today.
Has 5234 returned to Stanley yet, if so what colour?
Also GNE have gave us a sneak peak of the new X66 brand... http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/x66 - from what you can see, it looks good.
While at it for new buses... when they launch the Streetlites on the 8/8A/78/78A will all the info on its tab on the GNE be updated... it still says the 8 goes past the hospital in Sunderland every 30 minutes!
"lime service 8 runs from Chester-le-Street to Sunderland via Rickleton, Harraton, Washington Galleries, Waterview Park and Sunderland Royal Hospital. Buses run every 30 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes".
