Let's do the Maths here as according to Google.

Google states that the distance in Miles between Earth and the Moon is 238,900 Miles, if you times that by 72 you only get 17,200,800 Miles to be exact, not 35 Million as Go North East state. So to be both "Mathematically" and "Factually" correct you would need to travel to the moon 147 times to achieve over 35 Million Miles, which is more than double what they've stated.

Ohh Dear Ohh Dear Ohh Dear someone at Go North East has had an absolute howler, almost comparable to the officiating of Andre Marriner at the Sunderland Match this afternoon, embarrassing to say to the least.

You forgot the "and back" aspect.

I believe someone else on the forum has as a certain 'catchphrase' which is usually reserved for situations like this. 

Of course, I might be .....!!

Malarkey has pulled "an absolute howler", it would seem, "embarrassing to say the least"!

Yes but only for one journey that is the 23:28 Newcastle to Kibblesworth using a Loop branded Scania.

With 2 Citaro's moving from Peterlee to Deptford, which 2 Scania's have moved to Percy Main from Deptford?

(04 Dec 2016, 12:29 pm)Michael wrote With 2 Citaro's moving from Peterlee to Deptford, which 2 Scania's have moved to Percy Main from Deptford?

None as of yet:

5333 and 5334 remain allocated to Peterlee pending delivery and entry into service of 691 and 692.

The arrival of 693 and 694 at Peterlee for the new X6/X7 services has allowed 5335 and 5336 to be transferred to Deptford, but both are (or should be) currently at Saltmeadows Road undergoing repaint into the company's new corporate livery. Neither 693 nor 694 are branded yet as far as I know. When 5335 and 5336 return to Deptford following repaint, two Scania L94s will transfer to Percy Main.


In other news - 6146 has now arrived at Chester-le-Street for inspection and defect repairs prior to entering service at Crook.

It's not on the road today.

The boards both demonstrators should have been allocated to have instead been allocated Angel branded Hybrids 6067 and 6066.

Any reason why?, or is it just because its Sunday?

Not to worry (although there is no reason why you should). I would just like to see it in person rather than on a photo - i still havent seen 9099 in the flesh yet!

Has it been reregistered yet?

It hadn't been when I was last at Saltmeadows Road earlier this week, and 6146 is still visible on the DVLA website as being taxed as YN55NFE, so I don't think it has.

Another website that I will treasure. I made sure I grabbed the link from Michael's post to the new VOSA site and my god is it difficult to work!

On a slightly different note (and will be the last question from me), do you know what times the T1 is due in Lanchester and if it stops at all stops on its route?

It was at first but once you've tried a few times, its a lot easier to use.

I just put the route in i wanted, searched and then once the list of routes came up, i changed it to the NE area and then searched again.

A lot of old services appear too.

Anyone who does want the address, here it is:

I don't know if it's a mistake or a hint but the X5 timetable is down as "Wear Express", with Citaro's - https://assets.goaheadbus.com/media/cms_...16_WEB.pdf

The logo next to the X5 is also down as "Wear Express"

There's nowt express-like about the X35 as it stands. Maybe this will change with its renumbering.

It's changing to the X5 but however it's still using solars 5204-09/11 , I was told that the solars will be gaining tag lines but they were waiting for the service changes.

Well for now it is, like i said on my post, don't know if it's a mistake or a hint that they'll change the brand to "Wear Express" and to Citaro's in the near future.

Probables a hint though, they'll probables want the same brand for the X5/X6/X7.

It will help with marketing - the reason why the X35 was renumbered

Ye, now means, we have a confirmation that a Citaro route will receive new buses, more likely the Blaydon Racers out of all of the Citaro routes.

Will the double deckers in the corporate livery receive the taglines with having the advert boards above the lower deck windows? I have just done a mock up of what I think it could look like underneath the windows and in this case, the text would say something promoting the app (with the app open on a slightly more realistic image of a phone):

(02 Dec 2016, 4:36 pm)Dan wrote Yes. Likely to be 5333 and 5335 allocated until 691 and 692 arrive, as both 5334 and 5336 are undergoing repaint at present.

692 is due to be delivered to Go North East on Monday.

692 has now arrived, it was photographed by Guy Park-Royal - https://www.flickr.com/photos/98641142@N08/31068619640/
