And they are for Jesmond!</p><b></b><b></b><br></blockquote><br></p>

Im just happy theyre getting new buses,is this the 1st order Jesmond have put in since 2014?

Thought they were about to be sold off.

The NHS had a tender out last year for their staff transport requirements, with incentives for operation of clean vehicles especially hybrid or full electric. Arriva's route 46 is covered by part of this with the extension from Haymarket up to General Hospital - indeed there was recently a registration splitting this part of the route off with the new service being numbered 47. Putting two and two together would suggest this is a likely candidate

How much longer is redcar going to have 4316 and 1759 on its roads for surely there must be some pulsars or streetlite spare to replace them, neither of them sound healthy and seem very rattley

Nothing wrong with them.
