RE: Go North East

Quote:I think the 5 has joined the 'South Tyne' brand, as in the customer consultation (http://www.simplygo.com/news/changes-to-...9-july-12) it is shown as ''Service 5: South Tyne''. Also, there are an increasing number of purple Cadets and ex. ''South Tyne'' Darts being used on the service.

Cadets 8242, 3,4, 5, 6 will all be joining the South Tyne brand. This is to cater for the 5 joining the South Tyne brand as you have said. It’s unclear whether the 5 will be operating from Saltmeadows as it currently the case or whether it will be transferred to Washington to join the other South Tyne vehicles.

Quote:5218 has lost its Loop branding and is now wears a light green base colour. Is this bound to go onto the Highwayman or something else?

The Highwayman is receiving solars, I cannot fully work out from where however. A driver told me last month that the 6 Fast Cats solars + the 4 Laser solars were the buses being used. But since the 4 Laser solars have been branded I can’t see these being used. The only other option I can see is the Nine solars from Percy Main with the Fast Cats buses. The 11 Highwayman renowns where then destined for Depford for the Fast Cats X35,36 and 37. He also said the 6 Highwayman cadets where destined for Percy Main to replace darts. But who knows what is happening, it appears GNE are changing their minds continuously.
