(10 Jun 2017, 10:16 pm)thetravelman Is 9097 - Mercedes Sprinter still at Hexham on demo, if so how much longer does it have?
Also is it still likely that 9099 - Optare Metrodecker will return for further trials, will it return to Chester le Street again or a different depot?
The original loan agreement was for four weeks - so it should be going back any time now, really.
Although it was originally intended for 9099 to come back to Go North East after it underwent annual PSV test at Optare, it has now left the fleet and will not come back (for the foreseeable future, anyway). Go North East are satisfied from the data they have obtained from it, during its extended loan period.

I would imagine it/they could arrive later today?
5464 (NK17 GHU) and 5467 (NK17 GHY).
Four due this week but 5463 was delivered early when it arrived last week, so should be these two and a further one to come this week. I believe a further four have now left the factory and gone for PDI prior to shopping, so quite likely that we have some more arrive early too.
