Vehicle History

November 2020 Go North East Photograph by This vehicle has entered service at Riverside Depot, on "VOLTRA" services 53/54.
November 2020 Go North East Photograph by Prior to entering service, this vehicle has received "VOLTRA" branding, with sub-branding for services 53/54.
November 2020 Go North East Photograph by This vehicle, which is one of nine, has been delivered to Go North East. It forms part of a £3.7million joint-funded project from Go North East and the Government's Ultra-Low Emission Bus Fund, following a bid that was also supported by Nexus and Gateshead Council. The Best Impressions 'Voltra' livery, which this vehicle carries, was designed to look very different to your average bus. As well as a striking new futuristic look, this batch of vehicles boasts a whole host of onboard features to deliver a bus of the future experience, including high quality interiors with luxury seating from Esteban using a bespoke Camira Fabrics moquette paired with sustainably produced materials from their Vita range. Other features include free Wi-Fi, wireless and USB charging through Alphatronix seat back phone holders that allow you to comfortably watch videos from your seat, a Mobitec next-stop audio-visual announcement system from McKenna Brothers, and 'tap-on tap-off' contactless bankcard ticketing through Ticketer and Little Pay, which is a first for the North East and will form an initial two route trial of this new technology. This batch of vehicles have also been fitted with a world first pre-production use of Altro's forthcoming 'Metris' range of digitally printed flooring to give a grass effect throughout the saloon to emphasise the green credentials of the environmentally friendly vehicles.
