Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2015

Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2015

RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2015
Right - here is my suggestion for buses (for the 2016 order) in the Ashington and Blyth area. As StreetLites are the main choice for single deckers I'll make the suggestion around them;

Ashington
  • 9 new ADL Enviro400s for Sapphire X21/X22, displacing the worst of 7501-7509 to disposal and the better ones to transfer to another subsidy of Arriva.
  • 4 new ADL Enviro400s to MAX specification: 35/35a/100 (35 Newbiggin - Morpeth, 35a Woodhorn - Morpeth, 100 Morpeth - Kirkley Hall - Cramlington/Blyth)
  • 7 new Wright StreetLite WFs for MPD services, 5 MAX spec for X14/33/57A and 2 with  standard spec (57A Whitley Bay - Morpeth, 33 Morpeth and Lancaster Park, X14 Morpeth Newcastle express and 57 Whitley Bay - Ashington/North Seaton Demesne)
Blyth
  • 5 new Wright StreetLite Micro-Hybrids, standard spec for service 1 
    (Blyth - Wansbeck Hospital/Widdrington)
  • 2 new Wright StreetLite WFs for X14/33/57A, MAX spec 
    (57A Whitley Bay - Morpeth, 33 Morpeth and Lancaster Park, X14 Morpeth Newcastle express)
  • 5 new Wright StreetLite Micro-Hybrids, standard spec for service 2 
    (Blyth - Morpeth Kirkhill)
OR...
  • 5 new ADL Enviro200 MMCs, standard spec for service 1
    (Blyth - Wansbeck Hospital/Widdrington)
  • 5 new ADL Enviro200 MMCs, standard spec for service 2
        (Blyth - Morpeth Kirkhill)
  • 2 new ADL Enviro200 MMCs, MAX spec for X14/33/57A
    (57A Whitley Bay - Morpeth, 33 Morpeth and Lancaster Park, X14 Morpeth Newcastle express)
Key:
