Optare aren't exactly renowed for great electrics on their conventional diesel buses to be fair, never mind full drivetrain. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - MrBoyt - 25 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 1:58 pm)Dan Wow, didn't see this coming at all... Pretty soon it's going to be just ADL left if Optare can't get their act together, and if Wrightbus Mk2 doesn't work out. Maybe then we can consider some more interesting buses from European manufacturers Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - TEN 6083 - 26 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 12:26 pm)enviro7501 Heard on Facebook it was to do with the ramp, every time the doors closed and handbrake took off the ramp alarm started RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - OrangeArrow49 - 26 Oct 2019 Are services X9/X10, X66, X84/X85 and X88 going to be going Xlines? Is the new gold and grey livery for X30/X31/X32, X45/X46/X47, and X70/X71? Are the 45/46/47 going to be operated with Xlines branded vehicles? Due to former Toon Link and Red Kite services interworking sub branding for Red Kite on the Xlines buses won't be possible. What does the 941 vehicle operate before and off the 941?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - ne14ne1 - 26 Oct 2019 6162 looks smart in corporate livery and all white front destination RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - busmanT - 26 Oct 2019 (26 Oct 2019, 3:53 pm)TEN 6083 2 of the 3 photos of 6162 I took also had no front destination showing, which is unusual as white destinations normally always show. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Dan - 26 Oct 2019 (26 Oct 2019, 5:15 pm)busmanTIt may be down to the fact it isn't white as new; it's just the panels within that were changed by Brighton (a pretty common thing that they've done as a budget low-cost way of converting to white).

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - JACK6081 - 27 Oct 2019 Which omnideckers have transferred to riverside to replace the 12M versions or has no transfer happened yet. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2019 - Dan - 27 Oct 2019 (27 Oct 2019, 9:39 am)JACK6081 Which omnideckers have transferred to riverside to replace the 12M versions or has no transfer happened yet. If you mean the most recent batch of Brighton & Hove acquisitions (6162-66), then they were only stored at Consett as they were brought up on a Sunday and there was no storage space available at Riverside. If you mean 6167-69 which moved back in September to Riverside, then they received dual-door Volvo B7s in replacement for those. |
