Very interesting article, following the success of their ADL E300 bodied K270UBs. The demonstrator vehicle is expected to have an E400 MMC body.

Looking forward to seeing it, should be intresting to see how its designed
Hopefully see some in Sunderland for the services which often require double decked vehicles - such as services 16 and 20 - with the single decks being cascaded to other routes at Sunderland.

I wonder whether SNE's Walkergate and Slatyford Depots have enough room for a gas fuelling facility?

Wouldn't mind them on the 16.

Not sure for the space in the Newcastle depots but i do think they will get gas buses in Newcastle in the future, although i still think they want to make Sunderland fully gas operated.

Last Paragraph

"Scania will also offer a diesel double-deck chassis at Euro 6, powered by a 250bhp nine-litre engine. This is the same unit which will be used in the Irizar i2 and i3 single-deck buses built on Scania chassis, with Mr Oliver stressing that despite earlier reports suggesting a Cummins unit was to be fitted, Scania’s own nine-litre engine is to be used in both."

Second paragraph.

The gas ‘decker will be powered by the same Euro 6 nine-litre engine already in service in 23 single-deck K270UBs with Stagecoach in Sunderland.

I was taking the "Michael" Michael Wink, as Davey Bowyer always does one those posts mainly on the Cobalts/56's, where all the B9's will be Repainted, and Replaced by E400MMC's etc, and he also goes on about Buses with Big Engines also.

What? You mean the posts that swap every vehicle in the fleet around to increase the PVR on the 309/310 by 2?!

In all seriousness though Davey's posts lighten my day up.
