Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2015

Wi-fi kit may be on order for the E200s (if not already fitted). I know the kit is on order for the MPD's at Ashington/Blyth and not fitted as yet, so it could be a similar case here.
Therefore I would expect anything refurbished decker wise would be similarly specified.
Sounds good Big Grin Just thinking, if this was the case, it would give passengers the impression that the buses they were getting were newer. As an example I was on one of the B7 Gemini's on an X21, just after it came from refurbishment, and passengers were talking about the "new" bus, quite rightly if I'm honest as it still smelled of paint a bit. It just goes to show what a refurb can do,and if it had leather seating and Wi-Fi it would only enhance this.
