So what do we reckon, additional Toon Tour capacity?

Possible. It's a lovely looking bus

If its euro 6 then a replacement for the Presidents?

By the photo it is WVL83 not WVL43, think dans finger slipped when posting to twitter, it just needs gold NORTHERN applied above General and it would look quite retro

Seems like it could be out this weekend…

I wonder why they're not also making use of the convertible Omnidekkas they have?

I’m sure it’s been said before that they got sealed so can’t be made open top anymore

What ever happened to this vehicle?

Last time I saw it, it was parked up at Volvo Washington.

It's parked in Chester Depot

Awaiting an MOT slot.

Chester-le-Street are preparing it for service.

For what route

Open top bus from Durham / CLS to Beamish anyone?

They also have 3 Plaxon Presidents which are Euro 6. So that is toon tour sorted. 

I could see that, or maybe they could use the ex toon tour in Hexham on the AD122

They’re buying up aged deckers from across the country to put on the X21 so we can all wait for streetdeckfans reaction

6900 looking great so far:

6900 is now parked up in Percy Main depot. No doubt will see some use with 6998 being off the road for nearly 2 months now with engine issues.

Could someone with the knowledge please change the title of this thread to ..... WVL 83 as this was its fleet number while operating in London, not WVL 43.

I see that 6900 now carries the registration RYV 77 which must have been acquired from EYMS, as this reg was carried by one or more Finglands coaches over the years. Finglands were taken over by EYMS in the days before EYMS was in turn swallowed up by the Go-Ahead group.

Done.

Just spotted this going up Belle Vue Bank in Low Fell. Full of very excited kids and displaying Go North East on the destinations.
