(31 Jul 2015, 4:08 pm)R852 PRG I really hope Go North East opt for the Enviro400MMC, over the Streetdeck. It was just so much better in every aspect when I had a ride on it the other week. However, with prices and fuel in mind...
Anyway, seeing as the E400MMC has moved on to it's next operator - can somebody remind me where it has go'd?

(30 Jul 2015, 10:25 am)Dan Quite funny you mention Quality Contacts, actually, citaro5284... Looking at the facts and figures; if it's deemed expensive now, it's going to remain expensive under a Quality Contracts Scheme...
I believe a number of those in support of Quality Contracts have suggested one of the reasons behind this is related to pricing strategies.
Under a Quality Contracts Scheme, Nexus proposes that a journey between Birtley and Gateshead would cover three zones (A, B and C). In 2012, Nexus proposed that a single fare on one mode of transport would cost £2.50. An inflation calculator would suggest that £2.50 in 2012 is now worth £2.72. One would therefore suggest that the fare, under Quality Contracts, would either be £2.70, £2.75 or £2.80 (pretty damn close to the present fare of £2.80!)
