Go North East - Future Order Predictions
Go North East - Future Order Predictions
(15 Aug 2020, 11:11 am)Michael I'm also sure it was confirmed, the 58 would get the next batch of electric buses, but what make, wasn't confirmed, i would imagine these will be ordered as part of the next order.I don't know if they'll be buying from Optare for the minibuses. Given that Reading Buses recently cancelled their order for Metrodeckers because they were taking too long, even before COVID - 19, I doubt they'd want to wait a year or so for some Solos, where E200s can be made and delivered within a few months.
I think we're likely to see mainly Mini/single deckers than double deckers on the next order, mainly Solo's and something to replace the Citaros, the Omnicities at Washington has to remain in service due to having the Euro 6 upgrade... so they'll hang around abit longer.
