RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - NewcastleOne - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 8:53 am)RBZ 5459 Loops require 9 Vehicles while there are only 8 Saltwell Streetlites. Also the Electrics aren’t coming until next year And wasn’t it said all Solars would be withdrawn by end of the year? RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - S830OFT - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 9:02 am)NewcastleOne Could StreetLites off the Red Kite not go onto the Loop? RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - JP6004 - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 9:05 am)S830OFT 11 streetlites for the 4 and mercs to riverside for the loop and to replace 5319 RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - NewcastleOne - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 9:05 am)S830OFT That was what I was thinking. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - xpm - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 9:05 am)S830OFT Or maybe for the X84/85? The Mercs really aren't suited to this route (IMO) RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - streetdeckfan - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 6:13 am)DanSo does this mean I might actually be able to catch a Streetdeck on the X21? I think in the past week I've been on one! It wouldn't be so bad if the Omnidekkas they put on had WiFi Id imagine the extra 2 for Crook would just be in a standard Xlines livery. But at least I got my wish of the Red Kites going the way of the dodo! Those eyes are just wrong!

I can't see it myself. Not with the current frequency anyway. Does the East Gateshead partnership still exist? They always liked a bit of positive PR, so would be surprised to see cascades of older vehicles and a reduced frequency. Id expect to see new/newer vehicles and the frequency to be maintained. When the ECW Olympians were allocated to the 93/94, I think the frequency was a lot lower than now. A quick check of a timetable from that era might confirm either way.

That would also allow 1x spare StreetLite to cover a PVR of x13 RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - V514DFT - 20 Jun 2019 They love constantly upgrafing the Saltwell Park route RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Stanleyone - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 12:15 pm)L469 YVK I personally can’t see the Mercs coming off the 12/12A RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - deanmachine - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 1:00 pm)V514DFT They love constantly upgrafing the Saltwell Park route Because they make the money to justify it. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - S813 FVK - 20 Jun 2019 Personally would have chosen to order more than 3 E400s. They're forced to use a single decker or omnidekka as the spare for the X30 by not doing so. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Venturego - 20 Jun 2019 "JP6004 Wrote: Toonlink B9s for the 6" Is the Toonlink Brand likely to survive just for 6/6A ? - Quite a small PVR for a branded route! , I'm assuming if X30/31, X70/71 become an X Lines brand, they will drop the Toonlink branding.

RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Stanleyone - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 5:01 pm)Venturego "JP6004 Wrote: Toonlink B9s for the 6" Might be wrong, but I doubt the toon link brand will survive. 5250 has been painted in corporate colours and the X30 gold/Green Xlines, would expect the X31/X70/X71 will be gold/Black Xlines. Might even get the X5/X15/X45/X46/X47 in black as well, though my first thought was red, but does red and gold go together?, and gold/blue for the X21? (20 Jun 2019, 5:36 pm)L469 YVK With GNE ordering some ADL products this year, do you think it will be a warning sign for Wrightbus to improve their offerings? I would say because MG doesn’t like the Streetlite, the E200 was a good option. Don’t think optare with the exception of the solo will get any orders moving forward. I do wonder what would operate the X30 in place of an E400 if 1is off the road, 6146 maybe? RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - JP6004 - 20 Jun 2019 (20 Jun 2019, 6:01 pm)Stanleyone Maybe saving red and gold for when X1 joins Xlines |
