I don't know for certain, but if all the rumours are right floating around with the 351/335/359 going to GCT and the 342 going to GNE, then I'd assume Percy Main will need some Solo's again. Probably come from these.

Can't see them using Streetlite's on it, in fact I'm not sure they actually could because of the Western side of the route.

They aren’t.

Peterlee Purples 660, 661 and Little Pinks 680 are going/have gone fleet livery because Deptford has carried an excess number of branded minibuses for some time now.

They only need three spares, of which 727 and 728 make up two of the three.

6186 and 6192 have been in service with new 2019 livery but no roadstripes applied. Is there a delay from the suppliers as the E200mmcs have not had roadstripes applied either and have been like that for a couple of months now.

There joking if they are. Be a stupid idea. Oh yea the 317 did perfectly with E200. Let's downgrade the route to solos again. You know the reason the route died in the first place. Cause they shoved aged old cr@p on and people stopped using it. Now there like. Ooooo let's do it again. We have nowhere to put them

Solos meet the capacity requirements outlined in the contract specification. If bigger buses were required, Nexus would have specified it.

Ps, a 15-plate Solo is newer than a 63-plate E200. If GNE are allocating ‘aged old crap’, what does that suggest about the E200s currently used by Stagecoach?

Could the Solo be going into the North Tyneside Rockets Brand? also I wondered if GNE hesitated painting more NTR to see if they won their tender for the services 335/351/359

I'm surprised they haven't sent more Solo's yet for the 352/353/354/355, unless there's boards I'm completely missing, half of them are pretty much dead and the Streetlite's are wasted on them.

Only one I’ve seen that’s been relatively busy on a regular basis is the 355 - can’t comment on the 353 as I don’t see it much but the 352/354 are empty most of the time.

352 carries dead due to the 37 running before it. 354 seems to carry decent loads but only I'd say as far as Backworth then just meets the 353 . 353 is used regularly as it doesn't cross with many routes that dual it. 353 is (even when the 53) it was the best route. Its simple and severe & connection many places and still does. Sadly a lot of people were not pleased when it was cut from Benton Asda as that was its most busy. 355 is doing well from what I've seen. Gives people in Longbenton to Forest Hall a link which should have existed ages ago

We know the 317 isn't going Rockets since the timetable list it as fleet livery. Be odd to have it say "This is the North Tyne Rockets 317 service to Wallsend)

Idk why gne should re allocate it solos. There's them short StreetLite at Deptford which could easily be swapped for the long Corp lites that went on the 351/335/359. But if its solos. Well it'll be interesting to see how it goes

Yeah that's my feelings aswell when I see them, the 353 being the strongest.

I'm surprise they don't scrap the 352 and 354 tbh, I know there'll be moaning about the 354 but it's operationally out of their area and was a basket case before they even took it on and the 359 covers the important bit around Backworth.

You could then just run:
353: Every 30 Minutes - PVR 5
57: Wardley to Forest Hall, Every 30 Minutes - PVR 6

There's not many Cross Tyne links and would open some new links, including to the Central Station from Forest Hall and Longbenton.
