Rob has already told us that Vykings and Presidents within the fleet are going to take a "back role" from the end of this year.
I also remember seeing a post on Go North East's Facebook page a few months ago with a complaint about one of the services you mentioned above. The complaint was regarding one of the points I raised above too. Go North East replied saying that new vehicles were going to be purchased by the end of the year for those services.
Hitting on a point raised earlier today... More ex-London trash? B7 Geminis perhaps, given movements down there?
I think I may of met Rob today in Newcastle, not sure though could of been someone else called Rob.
I hope we don't get more Ex London Trash, so that'll mean come the end of the year No DAF's/Olympians/ELC Loynes and Ex Oxford Renowns and Possibly Citaro Artics.
I think that Citaro K Demo that has been rumoured for the Q1/Q2 would be great for Midibus Services, Perhaps even the likes of the Venture and East Durham. I wouldn't seeing a Volvo 7900 tested also.
As I said in a previous post the X30/X31/X70/X71 should be a priority for new buses next year I think, Also the 58 needs sorting, sure I read on here Versas have been ordered. X7 as well could do with an upgrade.
