Vehicle History

November 2020 Go North East Photograph by Ahead of the delivery of new electric buses for "Saltwell Park" services 53/54, which are going to be re-branded as "Voltra", this vehicle has been repainted into Go North East's 2019 fleet livery.
October 2020 Go North East Photograph by As part of Go North East's ongoing 'teaser campaign' and promotion of the Yutong electric buses due to be delivered early next month for services 53/54, this vehicle's branding has been modified to include promotional messaging towards "VOLTRA".
May 2020 Go North East With an expectant announcement from the government this weekend that some 'lockdown' restrictions could be relaxed, there may be an increase in demand for bus services. Therefore, some services are going to be operated by larger vehicles, to allow greater social distancing on-board buses, and Go North East will deploy up to 10 'hot spare' vehicles at key bus stations over the morning and evening peaks. As such, this vehicle has been reinstated at Riverside.
May 2020 Go North East Photograph by With an expected announcement from the UK Government on Sunday 10 May to relax some of the current "lockdown" restrictions in the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which could lead to an increased number of passengers travelling on Go North East's bus services, further re-allocations and service allocation revisions are being made, in order to increase social distancing on-board Go North East's bus services. This will include double-deck buses being allocated to services ordinarily allocated single-decks, and single-deck buses being allocated to those services which had been temporarily allocated minibuses for the duration of the crisis. Therefore this vehicle has been reinstated at Riverside Depot.
April 2020 Go North East Further service changes have taken place due to the reduced demand for bus services as a result of the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. As such, this vehicle has been taken out of service. It is expected to be formally delicensed closer to the end of the month, in order to allow the company to claim a tax refund.
May 2017 Go North East Following amendments to the rear boot lid vinyls last year; this vehicle has now had its existing cant rail vinyls stripped, and it has been revised to show the new standardised design, with the text showing the words "Buses run early til late • Into Gateshead, Newcastle City Centre and Saltwell Park up to every 10 minutes".
February 2014 Go North East Photograph by Following the closure of Gateshead and Winlaton depots, this vehicle has been transferred to the brand new Riverside Depot. Riverside Depot replaces the existing depots at Sunderland Road in Gateshead and Winlaton which date back to the days of the tramways.
November 2013 Go North East This vehicle has entered service at Gateshead Depot.
November 2013 Go North East Ahead of its entry into service, this vehicle has received "Saltwell Park" branding, with sub-branding for Newcastle - Saltwell Park circular services 53/54.
October 2013 Go North East This vehicle, which carries a mint green base livery, has arrived into the Go North East fleet. It is currently being prepared for service at Saltmeadows Road Depot. It will be transferred to Gateshead in due course, where it will be allocated to "Saltwell Park" services 53/54.
