Seems like GNE will be using 6000 for the city site seeing.......stagecoach are going to be using their open topper on a coastliner service from Whitley Bay to North Shields.

Hopefully if GNE go on to secure this service for a number of years they may invest in Streetdeck open top like those in Edinburgh........or perhaps this is one of the 33 DD on order.....with the 6000 being back up......specially if Newcastle planning low emission zone in city centre
