Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2016
(14 Mar 2016, 4:10 pm)Michael So with 2 tridents catching fire, all of them should be withdrawn on safety grounds?
Don't think all of them should be withdrawn due to a couple of fires, so you're saying if a few of Newcastle's Enviro 400's caught fire, all of them should be withdrawn?
-----------------
Which MPD's will be withdrawn when the Solo Sr's arrive for the Tynedale Links and "Indigo 40/41/80"?
Will it be: 542, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 553, 554, 557, 558?
I would say that 566, 567, 568, 569 will be repainted to "Go North East" and used to replace the 3 remaining 52 reg ones.

If it can cope on the heavy-endurance Prince Bishops routes, it'll be able to handle the majority of other single decker routes Go North East operates too.
It will allow a direct comparison to the Wright Streetlites, which are due to enter service in May, for further single-deck orders.
