With 5299 and 5300 returning, which Citaro's have gone down to Blackburn?

Didn't take long for one of the tables on 6311 to get filthy. Some people are pigs.

Have 5328-5330 gone down too ? 
5298s still in service today on 35

They have, 5328/29 by the fleet news on here, 5330 has gone down according to the fleet news on the Go North East fleet allocation.

Was only asking, as it looks like they're jumping service to service.


With 5328-32 supposedly going to Deptford, i would of thought that 31/32 would of gone down, so a full service allocation would be done but with the fleet list not been updated yet, i wasn't sure.


I wonder if some of 5333-5336 will stay at Deptford, as 2 spares (extra spare for the 35 and 9 or 61..........not confirmed but with 5328-32 heading to Deptford it seems likely one of those services could be allocated Citaro's (5333 to 9 if the Citaro allocation happens on that route).


So:

5328-5332 - 61
OR
5328 - 5333 - 9 

5334/5335 - spares for the 9 or 61 and the 35.


5336 - Riverside.

Keeping in mind that 5320-5322 were rebranded Crusader to keep the fleet numbers consecutive, could 5328-5332 be joining the 'Seeit Doit' brand for service 35 following on from 5325-5327?

Actually yea, didn't think of that...... 

Wonder if Deptford will keep, 5305 - 5309 too? 

5333/5334 for spares, as the 35 doesn't have a spare, if they keep 5305-5309 for the 61 (5 PVR), then 5334 will be its spare. 

5335/36 to Riverside

I've been thinking 5305-5309 for 61
5325-5332 for 35

Does Big'un approve if the new buses on X9/X10?

He seems quite pleased with them. We'd avoided the TTX for ages because it was so unreliable and there weren't any viable alternatives in some places if you ended up stranded.

When some (minus the spares) of the ex TTX B9s get repainted and prepared for the Tyne Valley Ten, will the offside be reconfigured to include tip up seats for pushchairs?


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2017 - idiot - 16 Sep 2017

I seen the branding in the flesh today and I really like it. But Peterlee and Dalton Park is still bugging me.

Has Dan or anyone said why it is like that and I've missed it?

Given that they seem to be wanting to encourage greater use of the app, it is surprising that the app is not mentioned, especially given the fact that the family ticket only costs £10 when purchased on the app (£13 on the bus).

Seen in Consett this morning was Castles express Streetdeck 6305. 
It was on the bypass and headed for Castleside so was probably on the way to Crook
