Would that Citaro qualify for the additional BSOG payments that the Streetlites do?

Not you at all - I certainly never go to the extent of adding the Max when talking about Streetlites and I know that the majority of the people on this forum are exactly the same. In other news: The lighting is bad, but 8328 looks to have gained the 'Recharge Your Batteries' tagline following its cant rail repaint: https://www.flickr.com/photos/16042610@N...ateposted/ |

(23 Dec 2017, 8:29 pm)Malarkey wrote Hopefully something GNE will look at in the future rather than buying Streetlites - http://www.route-one.net/articles/Techno...id_package How much are they each?, this is Mercedes, so won't be cheap, just like when Go North East bought the other Citaro's. According to Wiki (Although not very reliable) - Mercedes-Benz is currently testing prototypes of the Citaro with all-electric drive. The bus will feature a modular battery pack design and use the same electric wheel hub motors as the Citaro G BlueTec Hybrid. It is scheduled for presentation at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hanover in September 2018.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

There are no Volvo B5LH / Wright Eclipse Gemini 2s out on the Coaster today as both are currently parked up in the corner at the depot.

Why would you want sanctions imposed if the bigger shows nearly 100% reliability (I'm guessing so since I've never even heard of the service until now)

Similar fines/financial clawbacks were imposed when DB were running the metro. Discourages non-compliance and is supposed to help towards maintaining the required standard of service - whether it be down to technical failure or a non-compliant vehicle.

It’s paid for with Country Councillors money so yes I would think they would be fined if they inform DCC.

Yes, Durham County Council contracts have a lost mileage penalty arrangement built into them, non operation will be reported to DCC as lost mileage. |

(21 Dec 2017, 6:48 am)Dan wrote Cathedral Bus livery has nothing to do with Go North East (or previous operators of the service) - it is specified within the contract that Durham County Council will provide a livery for vehicles operating the service. If no livery is provided, the operator is welcome to use their own fleet livery. Any idea which journeys these are? |

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2017
If the 309/310 run next year, would it be likely that they would be operated using Coaster B5LHs instead of B9TLs due to the fuel savings as well as BSOG payments?
