Because they don't have enough to operate the 900?

Percy Main would be loaning buses from another depot. Therefore, I can't see anything wrong with using the word 'loan', despite borrowing maybe being more appropriate.

The annoying thing is you know fine well what he meant, you just decided to, once again, insult him discretely by trying to fault his posts in a grammatical/structural way. Its effectively bullying and biglugs should be thankful people on here are sticking up for him by biting back.

More than likely. I have this view because it is the second day in a row that you have criticised his sentence structure/spelling or whatever it may be.

Now, as I could go on all day here, probably best if we either stop here or move onto PMs.

I clearly didn't know, he wasn't clear enough which isn't my fault, I haven't been the only one to bring this up but it's me everyone starts on....

There's ways and means of going about asking people to be a bit more clear on a public forum. Snide digs and remarks isn't the correct method, and hopefully 24 hours away from the forum will give you time to think about how these remarks could potentially cause offence.

I (and others) don't come on this forum on a night to read a load of sly digs being thrown around, and the forum's moderation team isn't here to stop playground fights either.

I'm surprised to see that the south are running this Metro Replacement going by the PB number.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - LVK 404L - 04 Mar 2016

I've said prior that I worked for metro the last time we had the major line closure between Byker and Tynemouth. GNE operated the bus replacement also then (when the ex London presidents operated in Go Ahead London livery). The pvr was spread between numerous GNE depots  but meal breaks etc were taken at Percy Main depot and vehicles and drivers returned to their home depots each evening. Therefore it is possible this years major closure replacements may follow same procedure, in which case there will be no need for any depots to 'loan' vehicles.

That definitely needs looking at! Code C is a bit irrelevant too, given that Cobalt South/Newcastle Building Society is listed as a stop.

So just about confirms the 47s extension to Consett. I knew it would happen.

Would presume it would have to be a Wifi enabled Omnidekka to maintain a similar comparison to a Dealer stock B9.
But that would blow the route brand out of the window.

Anyways I was wrong, its not going to be extended to Consett by the sound of things.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 11 Mar 2016

UPDATED: Closure of High Level Bridge and Wellington Street in Gateshead

Date: 10 Mar 2016

UPDATE: The final closures for the Wellington Street scheme will take place overnight from Tuesday 29 until Friday 1 April each night between 10pm and 6am. Southbound buses from Bigg Market will divert via Mosley Street, Swan House roundabout, Tyne Bridge and Hills Street during this closure. Service X66 will divert via Askew Road and Prince Consort Road towards Gateshead Interchange.

My question is that if GNE use Stanley depot to improve reliability on the 47 by interworking it with the 45/46, how would the stock pan out? I don't think GNE would want to use a mixed saloon allocation though unless the 47 became single deck (meaning Streetlites needing to be sourced) but with the advantage that a more reliable service would solve capacity issues.

Unless the B9s were fitted with the features, i don't see how they could interwork services 45/46 and 47 given that the B9s do not have NSAs and Plug Sockets. Ruins their marketing for the services completely.

Wasn't it said before that they won't interwork because the 47 doesn't have plugs etc?
