The Yutong won’t be used in service, just for testing of the charging infrastructure of the depot.

Looks like they'll be using Mobitec destination displays on the Yutongs rather than the usual Hanover displays. Is this due to a compatibility issue or are we likely to see a switch over to Mobitec displays with new orders?
I assume that means the NSA system will be different as well, unless they're using a Hanover NSA with Mobitec blinds?

(19 Sep 2020, 6:35 pm)streetdeckfan Is there a reason they wouldn't just carry on from the E200s, or just start the 55** series?

(19 Sep 2020, 6:25 pm)ifm001 Not that long ago since we had the 84xx series. The ex OK Travel darts so be unusual for them to reuse that series so soon.The ex OK buses mentioned were Volvo B6's not Darts.

The region’s first latest generation, zero-emissions, full electric buses are also set to enter service at the end of next month, operating around Newcastle and Gateshead.

So when are we expecting to see GNE 'flip the switch' on VOLTRA?
Pretty sure what hype they managed to build (probably all of 2 people) has completely died now. The amount of people responding to the announcement tweet with 'What's Voltra' was comical.
No offence to whoever made it, but the coming soon video is crap and the music doesn't suit it in the slightest. As if any non-enthusiast is going to get excited over a finger flicking a switch or a picture of the front of a bus getting bigger with the word VOLTRA over the top.
I expected something to happen on Clean Air Day, but all we got was a note on the bottom of a press release saying buses are arriving next month.
Surely they at least have some renderings of the new buses like they did for the E400/StreetDeck announcement to show off
According to the news... the Saltwell Park Streetlites have had the branding has been modified to include promotional messaging towards "VOLTRA".
