(16 Aug 2015, 7:40 am)Dan wrote Demonstrator Volvo B8RLE/Wright Eclipse 3 BA15BXS visited Lothian Buses for company management to evaluate earlier this month: the first operator in the UK to do so. It left Lothian on 11th August 2015, and is currently at Volvo Truck & Bus Centre (Midlands) in Coventry.

Hopefully now a demonstrator is out, Go North East and other companies such as Arriva will not focus on the Streetlite for long distance routes. Routes such as the Fab Fifty Seven could however manage with Streetlites - the route isn't exactly that long.
