Prior to transfer to Crook, Optare Solo 696 has entered service at Chester-le-Street on service 34A.

Is it out today, and if it is anyone know when it is due in Chester Le Street next

Is 571/572 still at Crook or have they gone to SM for repaint because i would imagine they'll replace other MPD's in the fleet.

Both now at Chester-le-Street. 571 was parked nose down on the back wall yesterday afternoon while 572 was on the 21 and 14.

They're likely to be withdrawn - both are at Chester-le-Street.

They're the same age as other MPDs in the fleet, so no real need to use them to replace others.

[Michael]

Ah right, just thought with the B10's replacing others further down the fleet number line, it would be the same with 571/572.

Just because 570 is still in service and has had a seat refurbishment, was wondering if they'll replace other MPD's.

Where will 570 and 605 end up?

That was a pointless trip to Chester then, not going to Bishop Auckland this time of day as will get dark soon so will go another day there to see them.

The 2 non DDA ones are: 

3866 - withdrawn
 
3867 - not sure if its withdrawn yet.


But those are the only 2 which need to be withdrawn from that route.

The fleet lists for the time being needs to be accessed through this: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/list.php?operatorF=2&priorityF=all&soldF




Dan mentioned that the fleet list home page is getting re-done hence why we can't access it from the fleet list tab...... this can be found here: http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/sh...p?tid=1890&pid=184692#pid184692

The "Up to Every 10 minutes" is still correct as its 10 minutes on peak times and saturday all day so I dont think this will be changed.

Cheers, i couldn't remember.

[LeeCalder]

I don't think 3866 has been withdrawn, I got a photo of it on Monday. Unless it has gone since then.
