A little more on L&G.
Only incorporated a few months back.

(01 Jul 2018, 3:56 pm)Dan Not sure that L&G Coaches are still going to do the two contracts they were initially awarded - believe Nexus may be trying to source an alternative operator to do these, although unlikely to be Go North East given the large volume they've already been awarded...
As it has been discussed elsewhere now since the results came out, Go North East have been awarded over 70 of the 90-odd Miscellaneous Works contracts. Big losses to JH Coaches and Kingsley's Coaches, and unsurprisingly, Nightingales Coaches. A-Line have also lost their share of Miscellaneous Works, appreciating they didn't have many to begin with. The interesting one is Stagecoach North East's award - not many but interesting nevertheless to see them dipping into the scholars scene again, after some years of not partaking in it. Perhaps wishing to follow in the footsteps of Go North East and have a small fleet of buses available for use on Special Events on a weekend?

(01 Jul 2018, 4:02 pm)Michael Wouldn't be surprised to see them keep some, if not all of the ex London deckers then, no doubt they'll be repainted now?
Will we see the Vykings replaced now, because the Gemini's and Presidents are younger?

(01 Jul 2018, 4:08 pm)Dan If 34 ex-London Volvo B7s are expected to join the fleet for Tall Ships, there's still a lot more more buses required to get that figure up to somewhere in the region of 70... I can't see Go North East disposing of any more double-deck buses for the foreseeable future.

(01 Jul 2018, 4:14 pm)Michael I thought most worked from other services, so the number would of been lower.
They also have the longer Omnidekka's to consider, although they should replace the shorter versions in the fleet so they can replace the current Presidents to the special fleet too.

(01 Jul 2018, 4:20 pm)Dan Some of them will be able to interwork with Go North East's normal commercial services, but not all, and of course Go North East operate some of these contracts already so it isn't a PVR increase of 70.
That said, there'll still be a large number of buses required for September, and I'd suggest anything coming into the fleet for Tall Ships will now be retained...
