Had a ride on 9088 this evening between The Galleries and Heworth and I quite like the Versa XFE, quite a comfortable and smooth ride, certainly better than the Metrocity which I quite like and definitely nicer than a Streetlite, I would say it is on an even keel with the E200MMC quality wise but I would still rather have a Citaro.
I think Go North East should refurbish the Mercs on the 4 rather than purchase brand new buses for the service, other services such as the 97 I think would benefit more from new buses as this is one high frequency service they've never invested in.
