Vehicle History

June 2019 Go North East Following the recent announcement that the Stagecoach operated City Sightseeing tour of Newcastle will not be returning this season, Go North East has decided to launch their own trial operation of a part replacement seasonal open top bus service. As such; this vehicle, which was originally intended to be used in the Special Events fleet and for stakeholder engagement, has been re-numbered 3999. This vehicle will act as the spare, with two further examples being painted and branded for the NewcastleGateshead Toon Tour open-top service, due to commence operation from 29 June.
