Was at Saltmeadows today and saw a Gemini 2 being painted, looks like the usual 2019 GNE livery, you know the two colors separated by the 2 wierd lines, but it was light blue at the front and dark blue at the back. Does anyone know what this is? Didnt get fleet no or a video/pic.

I see the little darlings are out in force today. Arriva in Durham have had three buses taken out of service for broken windows in as many hours.
This seems to be really bad lately and they have the brass necks to do it in broad daylight too.

Hull Trains 803 stock has been up and down the ECML ahead of the planned launch of East Coast Trains later this year.

Spotted one in Newcastle earlier on this evening

So a question that's been on my mind is wondering. What will happen to all buses that have been moved around due to Duplicates and what will happen to buses that are only used for Duplicate 

So we all know the Lothian buses. The white StreetLite and the two metro buses will be going away as they have fleet numbers 90**

But here's what I'm wondering. What will happen to 5501 5502 5504 (The East Yorkshire Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse 2) and 5505 and 5506 (The London Scania OmniCitys) 

Will these see public service and which depots. Has anything been confirmed what's happening to them after Duplicates end. Whenever that is

Has anyone else been noticing that alot of the 2011 Optare Versas have been breaking down? I use the Q1/2 regularly and I have been in/saw many broken down Versas. I am also thinking that they should upgrade the QuayLink buses as it is quite a main service and honestly these Versas aren't good enough. I think they should get some Streetlites or Citaros.
