(20 Jan 2018, 9:51 am)Dan wrote Go North East has received this vehicle on long-term loan, serving as a replacement vehicle for fire-damaged Optare Versa 8303 (which has now been sold to, and collected by, Alpha Recovery for scrap).
It will be treated like one of Go North East's own vehicles for the duration of its stay - being fitted with the standard fleet livery vinyls having been painted into the base livery prior to delivery, advert frames, and vandal screen. It features a full front colour Hanover LED display.
As such, 9086 should have now been returned to Optare off-loan.
9086 was still in Durham, 2 hours ago.
