Go North East's unallocated "Green Arrow" branded ADL Dart SLF 5/ADL Enviro 200MMC 5495 (NK69 FBG) is pictured here at the Metrocentre Coach Park, Gateshead, prior to entering service at Go North East. 26/09/19
The region’s largest bus company, Go North East, has invested £1.8 million in 11 brand-new, state of the art, environmentally friendly buses for its popular Green Arrow services.
The buses build on the operator’s existing investment, which has already seen 170 low-emission buses join the fleet in recent years, and a total of £12 million set to be invested in further better buses over the next 12 months.
The new Green Arrow buses, which were built in the north at the Scarborough factory of Alexander Dennis, will be rolled out over the next fortnight onto the company’s 97 route which serves Newcastle, Gateshead, Bensham, Lobley Hill, Whickham, Swalwell and intu Metrocentre with buses running up to every 15 minutes.
With a striking green livery, the buses are packed full of creature comforts and the latest technology including comfortable luxury seating with mobile phone holders, free Wi-Fi, media tables featuring wireless charging pads and at-seat USB charging points. There is also no need to worry about missing your stop, as the buses are fitted with next stop audio and visual passenger information systems.
The seats and interior colourscheme have been re-designed by design agency Creating Desire.

An eight-vehicle swap is taking place between Go North East and East Yorkshire, with four double-deckers transferring each way.
Go North East are in line to receive all four of East Yorkshire's former demonstrator vehicles, numbered 794 - 797 in their fleet, whilst East Yorkshire are to receive four Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TLs, presently numbered 6118 - 6121 in the North East.
This swap is taking place as 794 - 797 meet the stringent emission standards of the promised Clean Air or Low Emission Zone concepts recently consulted on (as they have Euro 6 engines), whereas 6118 - 6121 do not (as they have Euro 5 engines).
It also standardises the fleet at both companies, with the Wrights bodied Volvo B5TLs being non-standard in the East Yorkshire fleet, whereas they'll be joining a fleet of seven already allocated to Riverside, in the North East.
Volvo B9TLs 6118 - 6121 are also ex dealer-stock, so have a non-standard interior colourscheme and low-back seating, making them unsuitable for use on Go North East's "X-lines" express routes. Prior to acquisition by Go North East, East Yorkshire had already taken a batch of these dealer-stock Volvo B9s, so these additional four should fit in well in their fleet.
All four vehicles being acquired from East Yorkshire into Go North East's fleet will be fitted with Next Stop Announcements, USB charging points, and be fitted with white Hanover LED destination displays. The two Volvo B5s require more extensive refurbishment work, including fitment of new seats re-trimmed into Go North East's new style, prior to entering service.

'House stripes for Minoan homes 1+2... by Su_G': close up of linen-cotton-canvas tea towels printed by Spoonflower - hanging on my stove door before despatch...

The acid yellow (or chartreuse) version was my entry in the Spoonflower/ Roostery Tea Towel Contest: Home is Where the Heart Is (and I loved the easy to obey instruction to "Keep it quirky or make it traditional– just be authentic!").
These little houses are modeled on the stone, clay and timber-framed houses of ancient Crete as depicted in found miniature faience plaques. I'm hoping they might suit the ardent archaeologist who needs matching tea towels. In the meantime they are a camping goods present for my friend's new trailer.

The first A380 to wear the revised new Emirates colourscheme, arriving at Zurich as EK087 from Dubai...first visit to Switzerland in that livery.
I have visited Victory on several occasions but it was only during my last visit that I noticed the perforated bow. There's always something new you missed the times before.
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known for her role as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. Wikipedia
She looks nude without her masts but rot required their replacement. A Victorian farthing was found under the central mast that had been placed there at the time of their last overhaul in the 1860s. As the damage was far more than had been anticipated it is now thought she won't be 'ship shape' again until 2023. Her newly repainted hull takes some getting used to but her colourscheme is now thought to resemble more that used in Nelson's day. I'm sure he'd recognise her no matter what colour she was painted.
She is a 'must see' for every child, young or old, whoever heard the brave tales of Admiral Lord Nelson and dreamt of life aboard a Royal Navy warship of the Napoloeonic War. Even if you didn't, she's a fantastic destination for a day out. The tickets last a year so, despite being expensive, they are worth every penny.

Oxford Bus Company's "Park & Ride" branded Dennis Trident 2/Alexander Enviro 400 252 (HW63 FHD) is pictured here at Oxford Parkway Station, Oxford, whilst working service 500 to Oxford Railway Station. 01/08/16
New in December 2013; this vehicle was originally intended for Go South Coast's Southern Vectis subsidiary, and was allocated fleet number 1582. It was never delivered to the island, and was instead loaned to Oxford Bus Company for two years due to an increase in double-deck vehicle requirements in Oxford, retaining the island's two-tone green base livery and company fleet number. It was officially purchased by Oxford Bus Company in 2015, when it was allocated a fleet number in Oxford's standard numbering scheme, though it was never repainted into the standard colourscheme of the native Hybrid Enviro 400 vehicles on the Park & Ride 500 service.

One time Van Hool Expressliner prototype K615 EEO is now working for Swift Coaches in Barrhead; based on a late Mk3 Volvo B10M chassis, it was new to Shaw Hadwin (later Travellers Choice) for National Express work. It later spent time with Rigby's at Accrington before finding itself working as a berry bus for the Hall Hunter Partnership in Berkshire. After a long layup it has finally entered service north of the border, becoming the last recipient of the former DJ International maroon & grey colourscheme before the company changes hands on October 1st 2015.

Basically, I imagine this as that camping jerk who always headshots you from across the map. Pivoting engines + radar sensors + massive railguns = multikill from the other side of the 'verse.
I deviated from the Futuron colourscheme somewhat, espeically on the wings, but that's because it looks cool. And yay stripes.

846 was new to Lothian Buses in 2007 as 846.
She is seen here at Hermiston Roundabout.
In 2007, 846 was included in a batch of 50 Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini buses. This bus was new with the plate SN57 DDX.
In 2010, 846 was fitted with experimental Mobitec displays. They were in the same layout as the traditional roller blinds. People didn't receive to them well, though they did become standard from 2014.
In 2012, 846 was repainted into the Swoops livery, which saw the return of the traditional Madder & White colours in Edinburgh.
In 2018, 846 was repainted into the Lothian Motorcoaches livery for private hire work and car park shuttles. It was also given a heavily refurbished interior including a new colourscheme to fit the Lothian Motorcoaches brand and Fleet of the Future style.
In 2019, 846 was loaned out to Lothian Country, it would also receive vinyl across the destination box with Lothian Country colours and logos.
In 2020, 846 would transfer from Lothian Country to East Coast Buses. They lost the vinyl around the destination box and retained Lothian Motorcoaches branding.
In 2022, 846 was repainted into the East Coast Buses livery, which had been revised the previous years to Green and White alongside Lothian Country adopting the same style.
In 2023, 846 was transferred to Lothian Country, only receiving a vinyl change due to the liveries of East Coast Buses being the same bar the vinyls.

These cupcakes were for the 'Quintessentially English Tea-Pee', a smaller open tent available for birthdays, tea parties etc. I went for a vintage china theme, inspired by florals, mismatched tea cups and a pastel colourscheme.
It was an absolutely magical setting with the tipis surrounded by forest on one side and a lake on the other. I would love to have my wedding here *sighs wistfully*...
