(07 Mar 2016, 7:31 pm)BUSFAN Does the former GNE via Weardale Northern Counties/Volvo see much use or is it a spare bus used as and when needed.
Seems to be more of a spare vehicle at the moment. I have a feeling that it will get used a lot more when R6 goes.

The Yellow palatine 1 (I assume that's what you're on about) was on Tanfield school for ages. Recently we've been getting one of the other Olympians, so I assume that its had some work done or something.

That's the one we're on about, it did the 812 for a week a couple of years back.

It occasionally covers for a Gemini on a scholars service (866?) in the Bensham area.
What looks like a registration plate with 866 inscribed is put in the front windscreen.
RE: Stanley Travel - BUSFAN - 10 Mar 2016
Yes thats the one i was on about it was only with Weardale for a very short time in 2012 before stanley travel bought it.

Nexus have got back to me about service 939 they state theyve spoken to the transport manager who informed nexus that the driver was spoken to and also become more vigilant to intending passengers.

UPDATE: We got it back today. I assume that the white olympian (I think that is the only one left) is due to go soon. DO you reckon they are going to replace it because it seems as if their fleet has been shrinking recently. Also does anyone know why there is a cream coach with BURNSIDE written down the side in blue in ST's Stanley depot.

Burnside is a school in Wallsend, probably contracted

Indeed you did - as usual, our bus passed it at Oxhill/Annfield Plain.
Burnside store their coaches in the Stanley Travel Oxhill depot.

What services are 6002 / 6019/6020 allocated to?

6002 is a reserve vehicle - mainly used on the Tanfield 1195 alongside K2 STX due to being high floor. No idea about the other 2 though.
