Go North East - Future Order Predictions
Go North East - Future Order Predictions
Are GNE going to scrap 9055 when duplicates are no longer required? 9054 is on loan from Metrobus, unlike 9055 which they had withdrawn I believe and it carries the only colours.
I like 9055, and have been attempting to get a video and photo of it, but never know where it's going to be. The duplicates use the same buses, just allocated to different services each day.

Back then it was 698 - 705 (possibly more can't remember if the 58 plates had gone by then). Most are gone now though. Something does need upgrading for the 74 though if the upcoming LEZ comes in as they're only Euro 5 bar the Cathedral 3.

We know GNE have ordered 8 more E10's Presumably for 57.
But do you think GNE will announce any other orders this year or in 2022. Personally I think they need to replace the OmniDekka GNE relays too heavy on them especially how they are over 15 years old.
No orders this year and a very slim chance next year, 2023 is looking more optimistic but it has been said that no more diesel decker's will be ordered so it will be zero emission vehicles like electric (which a decker is currently on trial) to get the company carbon zero, until then it will be second hand newer vehicles sourced from elsewhere if the older vehicles are no longer economically feasible to repair, in 15 years the whole fleet will probably be electric powered

(11 Aug 2021, 7:50 am)Michael I agree the 57 is now a candidate for the extra electric buses - no doubt they'll be Yutong, as the current ones are really liked.If I was GNE I would think of replacing the 03/54/55/04/56/ vehicles next those have to go hopefully a large order in 2023.
Lets hope GNE get some of this funding from the ZEBRA programme, they would replace quite a few buses on the routes.
Not surprised at all, everyone's in the same boat - would be good to see more electric buses around the North East so lets hope they get some of those 73 buses from the ZEBRA programme.

So while up in Edinburgh. I had a ride on a Volvo B8RLE MCV Evora. They are really decent buses. Would Gne ever consider getting these.
For my guess putting them in service Would be the 6/12/12A

Was up in Edinburgh myself a week ago, didnt get on these vehicles but did get on the tram to the airport and the Airlink 100 back. Also took a spin on lothian 1130 all white at present and the new all electric E400 city 293.

I agree stunning vehicles even on the higher spec airlinks 100, which I think would be suited to the X9/10.

Could imagine GNE Getting the Electric version of the Scania Fencer for the 50 once the Omnicitys have left the service. would be nice to keep the Scanias going on the 50.
Alongs they would get something that can hold a lot and can go quick for the 50 then it will be good.
can be horrible during Summer Holidays from what i experienced in the past when i use to get the 50. got quite packed on the 9:30 or 8:30. to Shields just after Concord

It does get very busy on parts of its route, mind. Always big queues at the galleries for it.

To tell the truth, I'm surprise it still comes to Durham, mind. This last bit is only ever busy for the school run.

Think about the best you'll ever get with the 50 is hand me downs from other routes, can see it getting some StreetLites off another route in future once the Omnis can be disposed of from the route and other routes have received orders of new buses.
*would suggest the Citaros currently used on the 4 however unsure if that is an option considering they're Euro 5 and unlikely to be ever made Euro 6 here.

Always big queues at the galleries for it.As many people on day trips to South Shields have found, the Chester Moor terminators are earlier than ever now. But the 20 is surely better option for Durham daytrippers?
