I’m glad to Metroline are cascading these. Decent vehicles those Gemini 3s. Wonder what else they’ll cascade!

Almost certain Steve White (Southeastern MD) isn’t teasing something… but an interesting tweet nonetheless. https://x.com/stevewhiterail/status/1779045011943776324?s=46 (A picture of a 701 with the caption “Doesn’t this train look good in blue. Just saying ;)“)

Can always rely on one of these “transport experts” on Twitter to publicly announce something before it’s actually meant to be public knowledge as is implied here.

It’s good being colourblind because I can’t see any difference in the shades - I also thought that the 135 B9s were yellow on the front when I first moved up here to be fair :D

The app prompted me to leave a review on first opening of the app prior to discovering the horrors that laid within on iOS.

Found this report that outlines even more reasons as to why this timetable is flawed - not sure if it's been mentioned in here before: (apologies I am on my mobile so cannot easily set up links) https://democracy.transportforthenorth.com/mgConvert2PDF.aspx?ID=7783

Had my first run-in with the new and useless app today. Needing a photo of me for a day ticket? Having to reactivate the ticket every time I needed to scan it? Oh and the 5 minutes it took to process my purchase when every other app in the country does it instantly. Yet more quality from the...

Am sure kicking the can down the road again will suddenly fix all the issues

Thank Goodness they didn’t. Horrible things

All the 17 plate Enviro 400MMCs will migrate to Queens Road later this year. Believe both the Oxford & BN61 B5LHs are being retained.

That would explain a lot…

I dare say the 32 EVs will probably remain at Sharston. All of this does add up however, I think the EVs arriving at Stockport will somewhat unlock this issue of loaned vehicles.

It's a spare machine tracking number at the moment being used by about 3 Enviro 200s at once - once the stratas are delivered one will track with this number.

There's still 23 BYD Electrics & a number of the 82 Enviro 400 MMCs ordered to be delivered. See here for the gaps in 11801-879: https://bustimes.org/operators/bee-network-bnsm/vehicles I do still struggle to see how that will replace 51 B9TLs, 20 OmniCity's and the GNW & Oxford B5LHs in use...

Stagecoach kept everything when Wigan went to Go North West and They're only currently using Go North West B9s out of Queens Road because of delays in E400MMCs - vehicles don't always transfer at all.

Personally the Stagecoach style with multiple scrolling via points is my preffered design

Incredibly happy to see some 58 & 09 plate E400s made it to Queens Road for a short while at least

Looks like Go North West withdrew around 30 single deck vehicles last night so I can imagine the deckers will be putting a shift in today!

The siding they shunt to in order to turnback isn't electrified I believe

Am sure it’s happened in Rail Franchising when Stagecoach lost out - however they still made the announcement and the court process made no difference to the outcomes.
