Still a few V reg presidents kicking about. B9s could transfer onto the 6 as it always seems to be rammed

Indeed, lots of elderly and East Yorkshire B7s to get rid of before Go North East are in a position to get rid of buses.

The ex-London B9s are still fairly new to the fleet themselves, and have just been awarded funding from Gateshead Council to have an SCRT fitted to upgrade them to Euro 6. I wouldn't expect these to leave the fleet any time soon...

So could the Ex London B9s end up doing the 6 and also other useful spare roles in the fleet such as providing extra spares for the 21 / X21 owing to the PVR increase of the X21?

I'm surprised they've gone for the ex London B9's, even more so with them being duel door...... would of thought it would of been the Omnilinks... how long do they have to keep them in service, with the SCRT upgrade?

At almost 7 years old, the B9s are going to be around for a lot longer than the Omnidekkas, so seem like the better option of the two to get the upgrade.

I wonder if this hints at the B9's getting a refurbishment soon too, with them only being 7 years old, they could add USB ports, better seats... they would upgrade a few routes, as there's 13 of them - 6149-6161.

What other buses will get this treatment, as they were rewarded for:

Newcastle - £379,600 - 23 buses
Gateshead - £230,750 - 13 buses - would imagine these are: 6149-6161.
South Tyneside - £133,952 - 8 buses - No idea


My guess:

Newcastle - Quaylink Versa's, there's 23 of them - plus, the Versa's will go for a refurbishment in the next 2 years.

Gateshead - 13 buses - 6149-6161.

South Tyneside - £133,952 - 8 buses - No idea

A councillor from East Herrington was using it as a photo op the other week after talks with GNE.


"Councillor Dominic McDonough is delighted that following his recent meeting with Go North East and a spirited campaign by local residents. Go North East have announced that they will extend the number 33 bus service to help replace the 36 service that was axed in May.


The service will run from the Board Inn past Oakfield Court, Allendale Road and Lakeside Village to Silksworth. Re-establishing vital links for our community."

The irony being, most of the complaints I seen on the GNE facebook page were about the lost connection to New Herrington and further towards Houghton.

Could they not extend it along Hylton Retail Park too?, because the 8 has been horrendous since the changes, always late.
