Newcastle Clean Air Zone: services which need to be upgraded
(03 Sep 2021, 9:29 am)ne14ne1 I’d be happy to take them unrefurbished! Nice quiet smooth hybrid drive, quick boarding/alighting and NSA*, all you really need! Perfect!Unfortunatly the pandemic has put pay to new vehicles this year. I'm sure the original intention was to dispose of all the Mercs except for those on the 4 and some of the oldest Versas and replace them with new vehicles many of which might of ended up in Sunderland. GNE has had to juggle it's fleet around in order to place Euro 6 buses on it's Newcastle services. Yes certain buses can be upgraded to euro 6 but they will only do the ones they think have more than just a couple of years more life left in them.
*iBus system guts would need switched out for our NSA type controller, granted.
