RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - L469 YVK - 13 Mar 2019 (13 Mar 2019, 10:44 pm)Michael [quote="NewcastleOne" pid='226807' dateline='1552516444'] It wouldn't matter if they were allocated to the 309 or 310 as some boards will still probably (need Dan to confirm this)interwork during the early evening between 4.30 and 6.30. The B9TLs although fab on the Cobalt Clippers are a little on the heavy side in terms of fuel. Going by what drivers have mentioned, the B9TLs will only be getting a refurb. No vehicle movements or swaps. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Malarkey - 13 Mar 2019 (13 Mar 2019, 10:42 pm)JM03 Are GNE starting to focus mainly on the enviros now? I think so given they've ordered Enviros for the East Yorkshire network. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Rapidsnap - 14 Mar 2019 (13 Mar 2019, 11:37 pm)Malarkey I think so given they've ordered Enviros for the East Yorkshire network. Thing is EYMS has had ADL Enviros of various shapes and sizes in their fleet for a good number of years now plus with the ADL factory at Scarborough being in the EYMS operating area, it would make the company image better if they are supporting local jobs. West Midlands did it for a number of years with MCW until they went kaput (MCW that is), Fishwicks were same with Leyland vehicles. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Stanleyone - 14 Mar 2019 (13 Mar 2019, 9:14 pm)Malarkey x7 Alexander Dennis Enviro 400MMC's for the Castles Express I would agree with the amount of trials the 4 has had in the last few weeks, this route will most likely get new buses, whether 200MMC or Metrocity i'm not sure, although i did have a drive or the Metrocity when Stanley had it and its a much better drive than the current streetlites. With the red arrows not getting refurbed (just internal update), i again think that this will get 400MMCs. But something mentioned on our grapevine at Stanley is the "new depot new buses" theory, so i wouldn't rule out the Red Kite from going all double deck in the form of either 400MMC or Metrodecker. Some might argue that the 45/46/47 doesn't need the capacity, but in my opinion at peak times, loadings would suggest and thinking of those routes with older vehicles 6/35/93/94/97/97A/X30/X31 are GNE willing to spend money on brand new buses when the figures might not add up, or cascade from routes that are making money?. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Panasonic44 - 14 Mar 2019 Would Crusader get DD off the other routes when they get newer buses. Was hoping for environs for Crusader DD for 27 and e200s for 26. RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Dan - 14 Mar 2019 (13 Mar 2019, 7:02 pm)cbma06 Dan, are any of these 44 new buses destined for EYMS?, just EYMS comes under GNE name. No, all of these vehicles are purely for the North East operations. East Yorkshire also have new vehicles on order, although they are separate.

Just a thought! RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - GNE6312 - 14 Mar 2019 (13 Mar 2019, 5:48 pm)Dan It's been a while since we've last had some activity in this thread... Does this include the 9 electric buses for the q3 or saltwell park.

RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Malarkey - 14 Mar 2019 (14 Mar 2019, 8:33 pm)GNE6312 4x volvo B8TL/E400 XLBs for the X66+2x spares No way these could go around by Asda/Ikea and the Debenhams/House of Fraser end of the MetroCentre car park on the X66 or intu Eldon Square/Peterlee Bus Station for that matter, then you have the u-turn outside Billingham Asda to contend with also. Standard sized deckers would be more suited for these services.

Withdrawing the X66 there and bring the S1 back As far as eldon square goes they could change the Newcastle stop to market street however I don't know about peterlee and billingham RE: Go North East: 2018/19 Financial Year Order Predictions - Rapidsnap - 14 Mar 2019 Volvo B8TL / ADL Enviro 400XLB for X9 / X10 maybe in the future, but I don't think it be in the next 2 years.
