Also yea four Lane Ends if a Scania CN230UB OmniCity is on. Congrats it will only go as far as Killingworth before it is took off. Someone mentioned that part after Killingworth to Dinnington on the 42A require a Euro6 vehicle which most of the Scania Omnicity aren't

Tbh I'd love to see GNE take the solos of the little coaster routes and replace them with something else. StreetLite/Versas/E200MMC hell even mini versions of the E200MMC

Lockdown prevented me from seeing the rare workings, but it was exciting to know they were on. Sometimes laziness has prevented me from seeing a rare working too. 

Yeah, the 42A is a Nexus contract for part of the route, and that requires a certain specification. 

It will be interesting to see what is allocated to Little Coasters next. Perhaps Streetlites or E200MMCs when they predictably lose the 33/33A contract in Newcastle next March to GCT.
