Thanks for the info. What service is that usually on? When is that going to be disposed of? Stagecoach Newcastle will all be 2006 and newer, unlike GNE who have old examples in active service for arguably too long, without features and quite unreliable at times (any bus is better than nothing, but still cascading old vehicles would be good). Stagecoach has newer buses, just disappointing they don't have any exciting features.
