Smart Accessories from ADL is a combination of electric cooling fans software to control and harvest electrical energy and compressed air when the vehicle is coasting and decelerating which reduces the parasitic load on the engine, providing improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
With the 38 and 61 getting the "Black Cats" Scania's, where will the 6 Citaro's off the 36 end up?, really the 9 gain 2 Citaro's to make it fully Citaro or will that be downgraded too?
I'm glad Deptford are losing the Versa's.......
Only 2 unbranded services will remain at Deptford soon, the 9 and the X36 which is getting withdrawn soon, makes sense for the 9 to become branded "Black Cats" too.
It would have been better if GNE got ADL E200 same size as stagecoach. For it to compare to Vera's, Citaro's & Scaina's L94. Instead of 8.8m that would be a better choice in long run.

(14 Jun 2017, 7:46 pm)S813 FVK I think if the 9 was to join the Black Cats, they would be branding it for the sake of branding it, not mentioning the fact that the service goes even further outside of the Sunderland Saver boundaries than the 2/2A and 238.

(14 Jun 2017, 7:56 pm)Michael The 61 also goes quite far out of the Sunderland saver zone too but that's also becoming "Black Cats".

(13 Jun 2017, 1:33 pm)busmanT I am sure that having evaluated the MetroDecker, ADL Enviro and the Wright StreetDeck that Go North East will buy the vehicle that meets their criteria e.g. Low carbon certification, Fuel economy, specification, price.
They won't be Volvo as, apart from the hybrid, they do not offer a Low Carbon certified bus.

(14 Jun 2017, 8:16 pm)S813 FVK Then that service should not fall under the 'Black Cats' brand in my opinion.
Obviously I do not know the thought process behind the inclusion of the service in the brand but it is obvious to me that the Sunderland Saver tickets advertised on the side of the buses is not it.

(15 Jun 2017, 4:31 pm)Dan 681, 689 and 690 all received Black Cats branding yesterday.
5467 received Black Cats branding on Tuesday, and 5464 received Black Cats branding today - four here now (5463/64/66/67). 5465 and 5469 are both at Heysham Docks and may be delivered tomorrow, along with the final Citylink57 Mercedes Citaro (5297).

Are we likely to see the Scania Omnicities refurbed after the Citaros?
