Acquisition of Yutong CB12 from Pelican
Acquisition of Yutong CB12 from Pelican
(07 Mar 2021, 1:17 pm)Dan They've not been used on the NHS Staff Hopper for a year now - they spend most of their days trundling round as crew relief buses currently.
729/730 are useful vehicle, and are handy if future roadworks require a small vehicle to link up diverted routes if it requires them to go down narrow back roads. Also Percy Main is still home to stored baby Solo 709.
(07 Mar 2021, 7:56 am)Dan Go North East has acquired two diesel Yutong CB12 vehicles, through the UK Pelican Yutong dealership in Castleford, YH66 VMO and YD70 CDZ.
Both vehicles were previously with BM Coaches, though the latter has barely been used since new in October 2020, and the former has previously served in the region with Weardale Motor Services.

Oh no not only do the nurses have to put up with Covid deniers when leaving work, now it's hordes of bus enthusiasts as well.

Diesel yutong bus expected for the NHS contract in Newcastle. Bigger buses needed.

I'm wondering if 5500 and 5499(When it enters service) will have a branding on it or just left as it is
(10 Jul 2021, 4:03 pm)Michael Just reading on the "Go North East buses" page, that 5499 has a seat retrim. Seems daft when its only going to be used on the "H" shuttle, unless its moving to another service with 5500?Can't see those shuttles lasting much longer , even though cases are up almost 50%. Given the surprising quality of the E10s, more CB12s would be well advised..

(11 Jul 2021, 7:06 pm)Kuyoyo They are for the 'H' shuttle between the RVI and Freeman Hospital in Newcastle - not any of the Nightingale Shuttles.They don't need buses of that size for the staff shuttles, the two Mercedes 516 at Deptford would be better, and being silver they can be easily vinyled up for the NHS if this is to remain a permanent working/contract
