(14 Mar 2016, 7:40 pm)Michael wrote I think it will, its a completely new bus for the company. The cab of the new Metrocity and the current Solos and 11-plate Versas in Deptford's fleet are almost identical, so minimal driver familiarisation will be required. I would imagine that it will be on the road within a few days - it needs the destinations programming and ticket machine fitting first. Metrocity ![]() Solo ![]() |

Shouldn't they have been converted prior to use on service work? The company have essentially been actively discriminating against wheelchair-bound customers for close to 2 years at this point.

They were removed from service because it was a mayoral pledge to do so, as they were deemed unsuitable for London.

(14 Mar 2016, 6:53 pm)Dan wrote Optare have supplied Go North East with one of its Metrocity demonstration models to evaluate it against the forthcoming Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid vehicle type on "Prince Bishops" services 20/20A. It will be used at Go North East for a period of up to one month, and has been allocated fleet number 9102.Big'un's gone to bed already without reading this (knackered, I guess) but he'll definitely approve of the colour of this! |
