What on earth was this quaylink? (there's a pink crusader in the next timestamp, too)

That's the original Quaylink Olymbus electric hybrid bus you've got from when Stagecoach ran the Qs. It's 11 years this summer since they were introduced!

I like (good) Omnicities for the quirky ride experience but, capacity issues aside, I can't imagine them having been any sort of fun on a ploddy route like the Angel, apart from on the A167 between CLS and Pity Me.

Have cycled through what I think it could be and come up with nowt. Of course, any attempt to find a fleet list from the time unearths inaccurate hack jobs like this one http://uktransport.wikia.com/wiki/Arriva_North_East

(01 Jun 2016, 10:45 pm)Ambassador wrote Capacity was an issue with Omincities, they didn't last long at all. A huge mistake that GNE made there.
There's lots of pics around of the Electrics from the Quaylink, I enjoyed the ride but couldn't cope with Grey St or Dean St. They've all been scrapped now
