Speaking of the Tyne Tees Xpress...

Go North East has received a demonstrator ADL Enviro400 City vehicle, which will be used on Tyne Tees Xpress services X9/X10 from tomorrow. It has been allocated fleet number 9098. It is of a premium specification, featuring coach style leather seats, tables with LED lighting, and USB sockets.

6043 - 6048 are now over four years old and have had extremely hard lives. I drove these buses on the TTX for a year in 2014, prior to retiring and when I left, each bus had close to half a million km on the clock after just two years service. After four years service they will now be approaching one million km. When you consider that this involves five or six return trips you Middlesbrough every day working hard on the A19, I think they have done very well. But even considering their relatave youth, they are probably now due to be moved to less demanding duties, and it is good to see that GNE are possibly considering this.

Could just be due the colour of it, but compared to the regular E400 MMC that thing looks hideous!

Just a personal opinion, so don't bite my head off, but I think the design of this ADL is streets ahead of the Optare Metrodekka

Looks hideous on the outside but I like the inside!

Can it be trialled on the Q3 Tongue Angel

Looks a bit like a London bus with that stairwell design

Google must have visted when the main focus of attention was Sunderland!

Looks smart.

5333 have been painted in to the new "Go North East" livery.

564 has gone on loan to Peterlee to cover this as another WTX Citaro is off the road.

Doesn't it just. I think that it looks better than the normal MMC although i'm not going to say that doesn't look good either.
