(08 Dec 2017, 8:20 pm)L469 YVK In fact, if GNE and some other operators (First, Arriva) wanted to stick with Wrightbus but weren't happy about the lack of suitable buses for some of the routes, Wrightbus might even offer an 'endurance' version of the StreetDeck / StreetLite with a Cummins 6.7l / ZF combo in addition to the current offerings.
Do Wright even need to bother with that?
At risk of getting away from "GNE Latest", but it seems that Arriva and First are going to ADL for majority of their orders now anyway. Large batches of E200/400MMCs delivered to Arriva this year, and the same for First over the last couple I believe. The E400 already has the Scania variant if companies deem it necessary.
Lothian stick with the Volvo/Wright combination as always - though interesting to see them sticking with the B5TL over the Wright integral even for the type of work they need it for.
