Yes, they have been awarded a couple of NYCC school contracts too.

Out of intrest would Arriva tickets be valid beyond Sleights?

There a photo on Donrobni flickr of a sapphire coloured streetlite so looks like it could be 1 of the batch for Darlington

Had similar thoughts on seeing it.

Tried to find a photo of a Darlington example at a similar angle and found this one.

Appreciate it isn't too scientific, but fewer panels/different window set up between driver and emergency exit on the new example compared to the one in the link above.
Which gives me the impression they are smaller

Looking at photos on Flickr plus on the Wrightbus website, to me they look like the 10.8m varient of the StreetLite which can have upto 41 seats. The ones currently in the Arriva North East fleet (and GNE fleet) are 11.5m.

Yeah that's what I was looking at as well, which looks like it would lead to it losing around 4 seats?

Arriva penny pinching massively on new vehicles? Last year's E400s were all a shorter wheelbase than the last order, now these.

The 10.8m Streetlites in Go North East's fleet have 38 seats (compared to a full-size 11.5m Streetlite Max which has 45). The Pulsars currently have 44 seats.

Wonder what the price difference between the two versions is?
4 less seats - but possibly less prone to sagging in the future.

Replacing full size single deckers with midi-buses.

If they're to the same internal seating specification as GNEs, that's outrageous.

They will be replacing mini-buses as well now that the pay gap for new starters between driving mini and conventional buses is tiny.
