Go North East is supporting this year's LGBT Pride Festival with a specially-designed bus.
Based on the new Quaylink livery, and incorporating the LGBT rainbow, the bus will be at the Pride Festival at Exhibition Park in Newcastle on Saturday 18 July, along with the company's promotional team. Go North East will be bringing along a 'selfie bus', games, and face painting. As usual, there will be a give-away too.
Beyond the festival the bus will become a regular sight on the streets of Newcastle and Gateshead, as part of the new Quaylink service.

Lothian Buses 627 SJ21 MZO, a ZF Ecolife/ Volvo B5TL Enviro400 MMC, on service 44 to Wallyford from Balerno via Currie, Juniper Green, Kingsknowe, Slateford, Dalry, Haymarket, West End, Princes Street, Leith Street, Abbeyhill, Meadowbank, Craigentinny South, Duddingston, Portobello South, Musselburgh and Wallyford Park & Ride.
627 was new in early 2021 along with 601 - 626 and 628 - 698, 651 - 698 are 71 plates, to replace the vast majority of pre 2010 B9TL's. They were sold to various operators across the UK, mainly in England.
Between September of 2020 and September of 2021 we saw the majority of the Volvo B9TL's, new prior to 2010, began to be withdrawn. These were a mixture of Gemini's and Gemini 2's, which ranged from 07 plates all the way to 59 plates.
The first of the Gemini's to be withdrawn were the 07 and the early 57 plates, 831 - 840 and 851 - 873 by December 2020. 826 - 830 weren't withdrawn at this stage due to being loaned to Lothian Country, whilst Euro 6 upgrades were in progression for the ex London B9TL's and their ex Lothian B9TL's.
Then, the last two 57 plates 874 and 875, including 07 plates 826 - 830 and 08 plates 876 - 915 and 918 - 924 were withdrawn by May 2021.
Although 841 - 850 are 57 plates, they weren't withdrawn due to them being heavily refurbished in 2017 and were sent to Lothian Motorcoaches for excursions across Scotland by early 2018, they all re-entered normal service in 2019 with 841 - 843 being used as a shuttle bus for the University of Edinburgh and 844 - 850 being sent to Lothian Country and receive Lothian Country branding on the top rear window and around the front destination display to increase the capacities of both services 275 and 280. Early 2020 saw 841 - 843 get painted into Lothian Country livery. However, 841 - 843 were not able to enter service until August 2020 due to them not having driver protection shields and were all sent to the Seafield Works in Edinburgh along with 844 - 850 to get the protection shields fitted. They all re-entered service with 844 - 850 getting transferred to East Coast Buses in September 2020 to replace their old B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini's. 841 - 843 were loaned to East Coast Buses in June 2021 to aid in the school runs which led to them being fully transferred to East Coast Buses and they still carry the Lothian Country livery to this very day.
Anyways, enough of the ex Lothian B9TL's, back to the B5TL's.
The Volvo B5TL ADL Enviro400 MMC was a brand new product offered by Alexander Dennis introduced in early 2021 with Lothian Buses being the first buyers of the product, and so far, the only buyers of the product. They were built to a cheaper specification in comparison to their previous buses. However, they still offer the same great quality with them having high back seats and USB charging points.
The initial 30 of the MMC's were destined for Longstone, being 601 - 630 with the next 20, 631 - 650, being destined for Marine. All of the 21 plates entered service by September 2021. Onto the 71 plates, a further 25 MMC's were destined for Longstone, these being 651 - 675, then the final 22 of the order, 676 - 698, were destined for Central. All of the 71 plates entered service by February 2022.
An interesting thing to note is, 601 wasn't the first MMC to enter service with Lothian Buses. Although it is the first one numerically in the fleet. This was due to 601 being used for demonstrating the new product. This lasted for a couple of months before heading to Lothian Buses (I'm not 100% certain about this though).
What I am about to discuss here, I want to make clear, this was NOT and was NEVER officially confirmed to be true. This was just a rumour, but I thought it would be interesting to talk about: prior to the first MMC's entering service, 602 - 620 I believe, there was a rumour spread that East Coast Buses were due to get 8 of the new buses. The order count was already confirmed to be 98, so it was believed that 691 - 698 would go to East Coast Buses and would have been acquainted the fleet numbers of 20691 - 20698.

Update log, Jun22 - Jul22:
670 - 675 have moved from Longstone to Central.
Notes:
For the exeptions of 670 - 675, there have been no fleet movement as of the date this was uploaded, Wednesday 27th July 2022, so the vehicles and depots listed above haven't changed, for the exeptions of 670 - 675. Therefore, this is essentially the original depot listing for these vehicles.
Disclaimer - if there are any changes to depots I won't be updating this specific description, but I would update the list when I upload another photograph of an ADL Volvo B5TL Enviro400 MMC owned by Lothian Buses.
This photograph was taken at the Balerno terminus, Cockburn Crescent, on Sunday the 8th of August 2021.

Its recently been announced that EYMS have put the Whittles business up for sale, which for me is sad and surprising news. They have not gone into liquidation, and will be honouring its 2014 bookings, hopefully a reputable outfit will take over the reins. What is happening with the NX contracts is not yet known, possibly a re-scheduling could see Hull drivers covering the work??

Go North East's Riverside-based "The Orbit" branded Optare Versa V1110/Optare 8335 (NK11 HJF) and Riverside-based Volvo B7TL/East Lancs Vyking 3974 (PJ02 PZA), which carries Go North East's corporate livery with 'Northern' fleet names, are pictured here at at Heworth Interchange, Gateshead, whilst working "The Orbit" services 52 and 51 to Gateshead, respectively. 25/06/14
"The Orbit" services 51 and 52 were circular services which 'orbited' around the suburbs of Gateshead. Both services commenced from Gateshead Interchange, serving Wrekenton, Springwell Estate, Leam Lane Estate, Heworth and Felling Square.
Each operating every 15 minutes, the services were allocated Optare Versas, in a purple base livery. When a branded vehicle was unavailable, it was more common for a corporate liveried single-deck to substitute it, as opposed to a double-deck, in the above instance.
Both services were withdrawn in July 2015 and replaced by "Quaylink" services Q1 and Q2. The once-purple Optare Versas now carry a yellow base livery, but retain purple vinyls as part of the route branding.
The first generation of the Scion xB was built from 2004 until 2006. It was one of the cars Toyota started it's new youth oriented brand with back in 2004. Scion was stopped in 2016. In Japan this car was sold as Toyota bB. Neiher the xB nor the bB were availabe in Europe.
Aero Tours' HJF 233N arrives at Spalding for the Tulip Festival in May 1995. It is a Bristol LH6L with Duple Dominant Express coachwork which was new to Leicester Convalescent Homes Society in 1975.
It would later move to Wilby, Hibaldstow.
Concluding the Quaylink theme, Go North East Optare Versa 8335/NK11 HJF was in use as staff transport for driver reliefs this afternoon, 05/11/20. Seen parked on the Quayside with 8315/NK10 GOH being the target of the relief driver.
Us oldies can remember the old registration system, where "JF" indicated a bus registered in Leicester.
