Someone has nailed it in the head. Replacement bus sent to another route and someone asked why don't they do it on the 6. Someone has replied saying its because its a nexus route and they will be fined. Spot on.

K715PCN

Posted by: stagecoachbusdepot
<p>Does anyone know what the current state of K715PCN is?&nbsp; It's been notably absent throughout the 2019 rally season, after being sold by its previous owners in April of this year.&nbsp; It is still showing as taxed on DVLA so hopefully still survives - anyone know any more?</p><p><br></p><p>Wasn't sure where to post this so please move if there's a more appropriate thread!<br></p><p><br></p>

<p>Just been reading the GNE thread re scholars services and noticed a lot of discussion regarding scholars buses back in the day when we were at school. So thought I'd kick off a new section in the Bygone Era.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>I went to school in the South Tyneside area from mid to late 80s. Not sure how many members are of same age.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Tyne and Wear PTE operated by South Shields ran my scholars service at the beginning using a variety of vehicles. Including Atlanteans and the sole coach at the time 1804 (LVK 404L)</p><p>When deregulation arrived and Busways was introduced nothing much changed at first same vehicles but gradually the Bristol REs got introduced namely 1822-31 GTJ 382N etc. We also got rare occurrences of Daimler 140 LCU 112 and open toppers 1218/1227 KBB 118D and SVK 627G.&nbsp; Approx 1987 or thereabouts Busways were either rejected or too late for the tender and we ended up with Northumbria Motors (venturing into South Shields very rare) we had then the LHs and those ex Manchester Daimlers (can't remember the fleet numbers) and all of a sudden for a few months there was a scholar's bus war as Busways registered commercially the scholars services 2 mins or so in front of the tendered.&nbsp; I remember we had "graduated" with the coach LVK 404L to 1872 CMJ 450T by this time.&nbsp; Then I believe Busways stayed with the scholars for a period of time after I left school in the late 80s.</p><p>Those were the days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hi everyone.</p><p><br></p><p>So for those who are aware, I'm working on bus drawings based on GNE liveries. Within these, I show the routes on all three blinds (front, rear and side). One problem I'm facing with a few&nbsp;is that the via points displayed on the front blind don't fit on the rear as the&nbsp;rear blinds&nbsp;are shorter.</p><p><br></p><p>Example is below – the drawing I'm focusing on is Loop 93.</p><p>Destination: Gateshead loop</p><p>Via points: VIA Low Fell then Heworth</p><p><br></p><p>Front display:&nbsp;[Image: CLGZQOM.png]</p><p><br></p><p>Rear display:&nbsp;[Image: hCSltor.png]</p><p><br></p><p>Obviously from the references here, the via points don't fit on the rear display. I was under the impression that the via points would be the same on both displays, but what would the solution be here? I had exactly the same problem yesterday trying to produce the display for service 35 to Low Moorsley, for which at one point&nbsp;the blind displays <b>VIA Sunderland &amp; Houghton</b> and therefore also doesn't fit on the rear.</p><p><br></p><p>Any solutions? Anyone have any good quality photos of these? Probably asking for too much here...</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks Smile</p><p></p>
