Somewhere in East Durham perhaps? Peterlee/Seaham area?

County Coaches had Headways stuff in the past and full size coaches were used on those contracts.

4274 Belmont to Coxhoe.

What fleet number will it gain, and is it a permanent move or just temporary until new buses arrive allowing the appropriate cascades?

7143 & 7144 seem to be coaches based at Deptford.

(11 Sep 2019, 10:49 am)streetdeckfan Is it GNE that's got the E200 demo parked in Interchange?

Edit: it must be, it has GNE logos on the front and rear. It was wedged in between two buses when I spotted it.
What will it be running on?

It's 9076 and it's back on 97s again...

It hasn't yet been allocated to 97s in reality, since it's come back.

It was sat in Gateshead yesterday with 97 displayed on the screen...

Wonder if it'll be out and about today, I never got a chance to have a try on it last time it was here. I wonder if it'll have as many rattles as every other E200

I'll have to keep an eye out for it, I never thought the Streetdeck looked very good in red though

On 97s today.

Great! Just found it on the tracker

Update: Had a ride, and here's a quick review

It's not half bad, definitely better than the other E200s I've been on in the past, although that could be because it's a demo so they keep it nice.

Very few rattles, ride quality is perhaps a tiny bit better than the Streetlite, but to be fair that isn't that difficult.

Engine is definitely a lot quieter, and smoother. There were no spine breaking gear changes like you get in the Streetlite

The seats are lovely, I do hope the half and half leather ones are just as comfortable

If I have one complaint, it's that the window is a touch too high to rest my elbow on comfortably, but I'd rather have it too high than too low.

The interior styling is definitely better than the Streetlite, but I'm not a fan of all the glossy plastic everywhere, it looks awful and will only get worse as it gets scratched

Oh, and there's the exterior styling. I was always told if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.... but he front just looks like it's having a stroke, the back is pretty nice though!

I really do like the smart mirrors, I spent most of the ride watching them, it's quite mesmerising actually. Plus, they means there's no risk of walking into the wing mirror when you get off the bus!

As a self-confessed ADL disliker, I have to admit it is quite nice, probably a bit better than the Streetlite, assuming it stays rattle free

Why has this been painted in corporate colours? Have I missed something?
