If anything, the 15/15A would have their own brand (was at one point planned to be part of 'Lime' but that plan fell flat) and the 13/14 would have another brand.

It was once planned to merge the 15/15A into an extended 45 route all the way through to Newcastle under the Red Kite brand.

Yes, Awhile ago there was a plan to merge the 15/15A with the 45,46 route, but GNE couldnt sort out the timiming issues out at Delves Lane/Consett area.

The 13/14 Durham to Langley Park was going to merge with the 65 Durham to Seaham, With the government kickstart scheme, but didnt come avail as the government withdrawn the kickstart scheme.

6043 is on display on Stockton High Street. From what I've just been told, they will now NOT be entering service on Saturday owing to 6048 not yet being here.

It's on display today. Either GNE have posted the wrong day or it shouldn't be there.

I have it on good authority that the new vehicles for the X9 and X10 will now enter service on 18th August.

I've also heard that new Volvo B9 deckers for the TEN/10A are about to be ordered and should be here early in the new year.

With the balance of deckers due soon for the Red Arrows and the hybrid B5s for the Angel, this is turning into an impressive few months on the vehicle front!

Speaking of hybrids on the 21, I noticed in Durham that about 4-5 Presidents have been completely debranded from Angel livery.... A sign for things to come?

Also cmba06, when talking to Crook driver and supervisor Stuart Gray he said the management don't know themselves where all the vehicles are going with all the changeovers etc.... The best way is to wait and see because unfourtanetly there are a few people who make up stuff and make their opinions sound more like a fact to confuse others. But yes that was the origianl intention it seemed but everything changes so frequently so anything could happen.....

Looks an expensive ornament, as they are pretty useless without power and the wayfarer systems to go with them.
