Not Tynedale Links anymore, 560 is now officially allocated to Consett however 561 is supposed to be based at Deptford.
In use on the 58 this afternoon

According to Buses, Go North East have 34 Volvo B9TL-Geminis on order. I understand they are due for delivery just before the end of the year as they will be to Euro 5 spec. I wonder where they will operate and what vehicles will be withdrawn as a result?

They are for the Fab56 (Deptford) and Cobalt Clipper (Percy Main)
Thanks Citaro. When I was in the area last year I noticed that route 56 was busy with quite a few stops used. Also, as Arriva routes and Go-Ahead Coastliner in the area use double-deckers, the Cobalt Clipper is a good choice for double-deckers.
These changes suggest that single-deckers rather than double-deckers will be withdrawn.
New Geminis appeared on Cobalt Clipper services today Monday 3 Feb although the majority of services were still worked by Citaros and Omnicities. Noted today were 6103 and 6111.
6106 was on display beside Haymarket Metro and Bus stations last Saturday.
