I wasn't in the area over the ashes weekend, so wasn't able to clarify whether they were diverted - but the road closure signs were up then too.

(31 Aug 2013, 10:48 am)Daniel Consett locals have apparently been told that they are to get new minibuses in November, according to an old woman gossiping to another on this V1... Think it is somewhat odd that such information would be released to passengers?
3830 is on said V1.

Christ, imagine Solo SRs in Venture livery... Horrid!
Hoping they go for something a little better and less...cheap looking.

When they said there was 12 solo SRs they could go to Consett with then the next rumoured 15 new vehicles (was mentioned on here a few days back) could be more Solos SR's for Peterlee. I can see North Tyne Links getting something a bit bigger than Solos maybe Cadets? Versa's possibly? Then it's just the remaining Washington W5/W6, TyneDale Links & OK Way buses to displace. The 39 needs a new alloaction but I'm going to guess that's already been sorted and then there's just the few spares at Deptford & the 2 Saltmeadows buses.

(31 Aug 2013, 11:36 am)tyresmoke Pretty marginal hence they're run by a low cost depot in Consett. I think they've been commercial since the start though unlike the operation at Peterlee?

I'd like to see the new Solos for Consett go into this livery again. http://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/3761800750/ think that's looks quite good with a venture logo and lettering. I think that's would be quite nice.
And what services at Peterlee are not ran commercially?

(31 Aug 2013, 11:40 am)Michael Thanks, they are the few services i see when out and about.
Is only the V1|V2|V3|V4|V5|V6|V8|V9/689 counted as only venture now?
Because the X43, 131, 704 on the timetable is north but under the Venture logo on the GNE site, their venture branded
