That's quite low for their age! Some of our 10 plate Pulsars are on a similar kilometre figure.

That means each vehicle is doing in excess of 200 miles a day based on them only been around 4 years old, that is some going.

Yeah the higher numbered (former unbranded) Pulsars 1453-60 spent a lot of their time running back and forth between Middlesbrough and Whitby which the boards were between 210-280 miles a day, and also used on X1s which are around 250 miles a day. In comparison - the 9 branded ones (1441-3, same age) which tootled around on 9s all day are only on around 220-240k km !

Free advertising for GNE I'd say although will probably wont get recognised since they don't operate in Harlow.

They don't really seem overly fussed compared to other operators.

Arriva, as an example, takes a paintbrush with red paint on it and they splash some all over the joint, creating what appears to be a squiggly line.

Clearly this would make any operator repaint the bus. Lothian Buses often repaints buses into plain white prior to disposal, but with so many Harlequin to Madder repaints over the past few years, they've not been able to justify the cost.

Go North East often repaints them a year or two prior to disposal into a fresh coat of red, upping book value a little, whilst making their fleet look tidy.

Does anyone know where the GNE Enviro 300 ended up (was it somewhere near York?) or 4874? Are either still in service?

Ended up over at Stagecoach Manchester (after the takeover of Bluebird). Whilst with Bluebird, it was reregistered 360 BLU although it is now SN04 EGF once more:

4874 (Y814BOJ, Volvo B7L) is still in service with Transdev Lancashire United at Blackburn depot I think. Although after Go North East it did spend some time with Metrobus. As for 4977 (SN04EGF, E300) is now with Stagecoach Manchester as their 27598 although re - registered to 360BLU as it was with Bluebird, Middleton before Stagecoach took over. Hope this answer your questions

As mentioned in my post above yours, it was only '360 BLU' for a short period of time with Stagecoach who have re-registered it back to SN04 EGF.

With Geldards, was sold by Ensign to North East Bus & Coach, who must have quickly sold it on to Geldards.
