(20 Aug 2023, 6:29 pm)KingSlayerRBLX Looks to be a panel replacement as the blue stripe is missing a tiny chunk
It also looks like a mix and match of Grey paint, the panel that's been replaced is darker than the panel with the Go North East Logo on and the front right light is a lighter shade of grey as well.

Has it actually being painted or is that not just the new metal panel?

6329 appears to have a squeeky engine, also looks like someones nutted the top deck roof
RE: State Of The Fleet - nova347 - 25 Aug 2023
5374 (Drifter) has had a warning light on the doors on the dashboard for a few month now.

Why has 5801 been dumped at Gateshead Interchange Stand D all day?

Appears the Versas have been deemed unsafe in some way with every single journey on the 2s dropped.

I highly doubt they’re going to post on the website they expect the timetable to operate. Even more so when every other service listed says it won’t operate, and then the fact that the majority of trips on the 2s have failed to operate.

I think all companies are suffering the same.

Difference being that one doesn't appear to have been freshly branded for the launch of an entire network...

Brand new brand, and patched up on it's launch day?

5475 has a rattling fire door, wasnt comfortable ride, i was almost violently sick, i dunno if it was harsh braking the heat, or a mix of both, the bus wasnt even late thats the thing, and the roads werent that busy, so why the harsh braking is anyones guess

That fire door has been rattling since at least April when I was last on it.

Looks like 6313 is a bit poorly.
We got kicked off 6310 at Bishop bus station so they could use it try to jump start. Don't think it was successful though.

Saw a one kicking around Whitley Bay yesterday, you can see in the photo but up close the old Orbit logo is really visible.
I'd have thought they'd have made more of an effort with it if they've gone to trouble of branding

Not much they can do short of rubbing it down and repainting it, and I can only imagine the outrage on here if they did that!
I'm going to guess they use a single stage paint rather than a separate paint and lacquer so there's less they can do in terms of polishing it back.

I'm not sure why they weren't ever corrected as a warranty job, because surely they shouldn't make such a racket by design.

It's been a problem since 2009 as the Pulsar's at Arriva have the exact same problem, nevermind Streetlite's.
Not sure the Streetlites are the same but it's the same as the driver door panel, which was rattling when they were brand new. Remember getting them when they first came to Blyth and thinking jesus these are cheap shite rattling like that already.

Clearly it's a fixable problem given GNE have fixed it on some of their Streetlites, although they seem to have given up on doing any more
