8294 seems to be struggling on the 36....

(28 Jan 2019, 11:52 am)Dan 5204 and 5216 joined 5201 at Percy Main over the weekend (5205 is still VOR at Chester-le-Street). Both are on 309/310 today, with 5201 on the 11.

6102 has now departed for Bus & Coach World, should be 6103 tomorrow.

Are they getting the same done as the Citaro's?

You'll have to wait and see for that one!

The Citaros don't have a top-deck, so there's a bit more you can do with a decker...  Big Grin

Looks like a ADL Enviro200MMC is also arriving on demo for the 4.

9088:

Over the coming months, Go North East will finalise plans for this year's intake of brand new vehicles to support the replacement of some of their oldest buses. As such; following on from the trial of Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid 3 9092 (SK17 HHL) last year on "Connections4" service 4, Go North East will now undergo a comparative trial of the Optare Versa xFE and ADL Enviro200MMC. This vehicle, first unveiled last year at the NEC's annual Euro Bus Expo event, has now been delivered to Go North East and allocated fleet number 9088 for the duration of its stay.

Already listed on the fleet list as 9080

That'll be the electric one, yes, but there's also a diesel one due sooner for Washington which isn't on the fleet list yet.

There'll be more buses in the 9xxx series than any other, at this rate!  Big Grin

Are we expecting around the same amount of new buses as in 2017?, will the removal of the Scania's be priority?, as its likely the Omnidekka's from Brighton will remove the oldest deckers in the fleet.

If they were to trial the BYD E200EV it would need to be 12m in length, anything smaller i.e. 10.2m or 10.8m would be a midibus which would not cope capacity wise on the 4.

Personally hoping we get the Citaro Hybrid on demonstration at some point.

3 or 4 B7TLs (vykings presidents or geminis) from riverside/Saltmeadows to Percy main to keep the double deckers on the 309/310 as the 309s get busy at peak times at cobalt.

5486/7 needed for contracts as are most of the buses you have suggested. A few Solars have transferred over to PM so that will have to do.
