Can confirm 24112 has not yet been treated to the Cummins re-engine program. It’s on 14s today.

Which cooling vents? It hasn't got the black panel where the extra grill is on 24105/11, but neither does 24107 which was re-engined.

Just to avoid any confusion over the MANs that have received the Cummins modifications, this side-on shot of 24111 shows where the additional vents have been placed - all but 24107 now have this area painted in the same black used between the windows

Pity they've left that red "triangle" next to the black section - could have just painted it all black!

None of the conversions have had a full repaint - the only one that has that whole area painted black is 24115.

Hope they look better than 24114 and 24115 after they got de branded

It is usually the responsibility of Exterion (the company that sells the advert space) to make sure that the bus is restored to good condition following removal of an advert like this. More often than not they get repainted.

Think it was a misprint on list. Should have been 26293 not 27293 otherwise that was 118 buses for Stockton not 18

1018 actually ..... probably sufficient to keep the north-east going with new vehicles for several years!

34605 is working for Hartlepool depot - it’s been on the 1 the last two days

Anymore gas buses been painted?

Will the transbus E300s be coming to Newcastle in the summer when tesside get the new buses?

28026, 28028 and 28039 are the ones that have been repainted in the last month or so.

Thanks, somehow i've lost track

17645 has lost its flip for display according to the driver of 17643 today on the Seasider. That's where it has been lately. It now has the normal LED display like 17239/40. 17643 will be keeping its flip for display so only one Open Topper left with the flip dot display
