Doubt they will trial one again and they will probably just continue to buy streetlites.
As the B8RLE is a Volvo product (with Wright bodywork) and not a mainline or part of the Wrightbus range, maybe it does not fit with the new relationship GNE have with Wright bus
Wonder why GNE haven't trialed the Volvo 7900 Hybrid:
Interesting video in link (Lothian / Volvo partnership) :

Seems to be a good all rounder for city, rural and long distance performance, economy and endurance.
