RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - JP6004 - 15 Oct 2019 (15 Oct 2019, 4:10 pm)streetdeckfan Actually they got confused between the B5 and the E400, which is exactly the point! Same bodywork RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - streetdeckfan - 15 Oct 2019 (15 Oct 2019, 4:12 pm)JP6004 This is why they should just stick to one bus! Having said that, as much as I hate the design of the E400, I hate it slightly less than the low height StreetDeck! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - gordondack - 16 Oct 2019 (15 Oct 2019, 4:18 pm)streetdeckfan Just like every other major operator does? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - streetdeckfan - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 12:19 pm)gordondackSome try and standardise on a particular brand, like Stagecoach with ADL. But GNE seems to have a batch of everything going!

Running late or early (no idea which - although looking at the timetable, it could have been the planned 17:08 Houghton) and its displaying 'Durham Claypath'. Since when has that been a terminating point? There's nowt on the timetable to suggest that there's a terminating service there and if I was wanting to go to the bus station, I'd be expecting a bus that would take me there. Unless of course, the driver has selected the wrong destination. Which begs the question - why is 'Durham Claypath' registered?

Unless the 6cylinder is coming in blue Xlines.....MG did confirm all streetdecks would be Xlines RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Dan - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 4:14 pm)Andreos1Claypath was used as a terminal point for the 20 last year at some point - possibly for the duration of the Lumiere event, maybe? The destination was added to the list then. Not sure what has happened here, but if I was regulating the 20, I'd turn it left onto North Road and send it straight down Millburngate, rather than turn it at Claypath (as it presumably still needs to cross the bridge to turn at the next roundabout, which would admittedly save 5+ mins, but would look poor to passengers who had intended to travel to the bus station who see it continuing in that direction anyway).

Might be mistaken though! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - JP6004 - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 4:27 pm)streetdeckfan If that was the case then they would of had another 16 plate in corporate livery? If the rumours are true about being extended to west Auckland etc, maybe this extra one will make up PVR? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - streetdeckfan - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 4:30 pm)JP6004 True, unless the 6 cylinder was intended to be in corporate as it's supposed to be trialled on all decker routes, but with them thinking about extending to West Auckland plans may have changed. I guess we'll never find out! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Coppercap40 - 16 Oct 2019 Saw what I think was 6340 on Lobley Hill Road this afternoon possibly heading for Consett. Green Arrows 5490/92/95 were out today along with 5498 which is in fleet livery RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - busmanT - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 4:08 pm)streetdeckfan They must be leaving 6334-6336 for the new StreetDecks for X21/21 Or something else from East Yorkshire? RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Stanleyone - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 4:52 pm)busmanT Would make sense having the 2 streetdecks in blue Xlines after 6333, 6337 is one of the 64 plate E400s so 6336 in corporate colours could be the other. Then 6341 for the green back streetdecks. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - streetdeckfan - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 4:56 pm)Stanleyone It's all just a confusing mess! Would have made a lot more sense to just number all the StreetDecks consecutively then put the E400s after that. But I suppose with the B5s being in between the Xlines and Angel StreetDecks it doesn't really make much difference! RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - JP6004 - 16 Oct 2019 (16 Oct 2019, 5:07 pm)streetdeckfan I think that doesn't really matter too much. Was more annoying have the first B9s from 6001-6007 then having the presidents inbetween the next batch of B9s...then the omnidekkas and then more B9s RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Michael - 16 Oct 2019 Does it matter though, its not like normal people will take notice |
