(26 Aug 2015, 1:55 pm)citaro5284 A nice shiny red bus has just arrived
Having visited Edinburgh earlier this month and evaluated by Lothian Buses' company management, this vehicle has now been acquired by Go North East for a demonstration trial to compare against other new single deckers available on the market, namely the integral Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid.
Allocated fleet number 9108 during its time at Go North East, this vehicle will first spend some time on "Prince Bishops" services 20/20A, transferring to Deptford from Saltmeadows Road later today.
It is pictured below after arrival at Saltmeadows Road. If anyone wanting photos of it wasn't quick enough to get down to Saltmeadows Road following citaro5284's earlier post, you'll get your chance to see it tomorrow in and around the Sunderland area.

Former "The Highwayman" branded Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 4932 (Y932 ERG) is the example at Saltmeadows Road for repaint, I believe, and it is joined by Deptford's former "laser" branded Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5308 (NK08 CHX).
