Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2017

[S813 FVK]

I would like to see something like this happen:

- 5x Mercedes Citaros branded 'Blaydon Racers' for services 12/12A replacing the 'Toon Link' brand
- 1x Scania Omnicity repainted into the corporate livery and transferred to Stanley to operate the single decker board on services 6/X70/X71 and replacing the second red Merc.

- 4x Mercedes Citaros branded 'Tynedalexpress' for services X84/X85 joined by 1 red Merc from Stanley as a spare (fitted with WiFi only).
- 5x Scania L94UB to Chester-le-Street for Waggonway 28/28A allowing the current Solars to join the Training Fleet as rumoured

The other red Mercedes Citaro at Stanley could also go to Hexham, repainted and branded for 'Tynedale Links' replacing 5210 on the 680.

I think brand new buses for the Tynedale Xpress would be a better option than cascades off of another service, as for the 12/12A a Corporate Livery Spare would do on there as barely nobody other than at peak times get on it anyway.

Definitely not at Washington, it was returned to Stanley after it's loan according the NEB News.
