Both scania bendys were on the 58 /58X this morning so I guess that there couldn't have been any fire damage to one as reported by Wellsey18 earlier on in the thread? Guess the smoke must have been engine fumes or burnt oil entering into the cab?

Also north Tyne 504 was beeing recovered by Albion at Battlehill this evening.

There are 4, you are correct.

Also, it has been announced today on Go North East's Facebook Page that the Hybrids enter service on the 21 from Monday 22nd October.

Heworth Interchange Refurbishment Update
Stand B is now finished. Stand C was closed this morning, with 'Crusader' 27 and 68 departing from Stand G.

As of yet, Stands A and B have not received back their departure displays, but I'm guessing that they're waiting until the work has been completed. Whether Stand G will receive one, I do not know, as it didn't have one in the first place.

Would also put into question, what about the W1/W1A/W3 and 516? If the 5 was moving to Percy Main just to cut down the dead mileage to Jarrow, what about the 516 to South Shields? And the W1/W1A/W3 to Whitley Bay? Plus, if anything, if you were moving it to another depot to reduce dead mileage, wouldn't it make sense to move it to Washington so that Washington does all the 'South Tyne' routes? You just have to think things through to realise that they make sense or whether they are a pack of lies.

Seems a load of crap to me! And I agree with you there, Washington would be a good one, with the 88/88A interworking with the 5. I don't think it will happen... Not in a million years!

it cud only interwork at shields
