RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions - L469 YVK - 01 Jul 2016
Quick Amendment
- 9x + 1x spare Wright Streetlite MH 11.5m for Green Arrow Services 97 / 97A
- Now 10x + 1 spare Wright Streetlite MH 11.5m for Green Arrow services 97/97A
Subsequently, no further spare for Deptford as a result of PVR increase to Green Arrow services 97 / 97A
- Intu Metrocentre branding idea scrapped for 6071, 6084, 6101
- Re-clarification of the 3x vehicles above in the event of a VOR occurring with 6043-6048
RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions - Michael - 01 Jul 2016
My predictions:
10 branded Streetlites for the 97/97A with 1 spare
Solo SR's for Washington (82/82A/85/86) and Sunderland (33/38/238) - both branded "Indigo Washington/Sunderland"
13 branded Streetdecks for the 27 with 1 spare
Going to be honest not sure which routes will get new buses this year, most of the "branded" routes are new or just been re-designed, i think the priority now for GNE will be to replace the remaining B10's, Merits and the MPD's and the non DDA deckers.

Any updates on the order?, if so how many buses are arriving?

Is there a new order? Thought the next order would be atleast next year as it that's what normally happens.

Surely they would want to get some deckers this year as they have until 31st December to get rid of the tridents. I can see some B10s staying until next year as they are already DDA compliant.

The Worms really don't need full-size single deckers. An MPD would be sufficient during the daytime for loadings, the only real time that full-size saloons are needed is at peak times. I think the OmniCities would be a good choice for the Waggonway though.
RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions - Adrian - 10 Jul 2016
I wouldn't hold your breath about any Citaros being purchased.

Streetlites all the way!
Unless GNE are feeling sassy and they've ordered some MetroCity's.
RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions - thetravelman - 10 Jul 2016
I know GNE seem to have a good relationship with Wright bus, but is it likely that GNE will only buy Streetdecks and Streetlites for the foreseeable future, or do you think it is likely that they will still buy other manufacturers offerings as well. Obviously excluding Optare Solos as these seem to be the preferred choice of minibus.
I think it would be nice to see something like a Citaro on the TynedaleXpress X84/X85. However I won't hold my breath.
RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions - Panasonic44 - 11 Jul 2016
Streetlites are ugly.
would prefer models not wrights or optare's. I don't see GNE ordering any more buses until next year.

Next year? Their financial year runs July - June, so we're technically into a new year, as far as books and budgets go.

Ok, I only said it because since they ordered buses for X21 & 20*, they wouldn't order until next year.
That said they could trial Scaina E400 Gas or Hybrid or City for 21 or 27.
Optare Metrocity for 12/12A, move scania to 88/88A move veras to 93/94/97
RE: Go North East: 2016/17 Financial Year Order Predictions - pdiddy - 12 Jul 2016

Don't even know where to start with this one.
The 34/34A really don't justify brand new buses, at all. They're the epitome of a service that receives cascaded stock, such as the Versas currently allocated. To be quite frank, the only time a vehicle the size of a Versa is necessary is during the busy periods that tend to come at peak times and the odd morning.
Why move 4978-4982 from Percy Main to Chester-le-Street when they only transferred into the former fairly recently?
Does the 82/82A need new buses? Priorities and all that.

When you think about it yes it's the same with the 40 and 41 so id think the 34 would be best of with new buses or give 5391-94 to chester then getting new buses for the x66
