(21 Oct 2020, 9:09 am)Storx There's 17 Omnicities at Chester Le Street and Riverside then the 5 Mercedes on the Citylink 57.Plus a very large number of older buses that should have been withdrawn but have been kept to run the school extras (56 or 60 buses used as extras I recall being mentioned)
Then you've got the 9 new electrics plus the 13 ex Consett B9TL's which are currently on the 26/27 so there's 22 buses spare there.
Wouldn't be surprised to see something like:
B9TL's - 93 / 94 still maybe + 25/13 (PVR 13)
Streetlites - 57 (PVR 5)
Displaced Versa's and the other 3 Streetlites replace the remaining spare Omnicities between the 2 depots which are often on the 28 and Quaylinks.
Then the next batch of the electrics on the 58 with that batch of Versas seeing off the remaining Citaros at Riverside.

(25 Oct 2020, 6:00 pm)Michael Wonder when they'll finally withdraw all the buses not needed.... be interesting to see if anyone has the money to buy them.

Can anyone confirm what fleet numbers the Electric buses will be, since they should start to arrive in the next couple of weeks

Note the silver grab handles on the doors, and the seemingly brown interior. That and the external base livery doesn't exactly scream GNE. Was it confirmed these are GNE's?

Interesting to see what looks like a blue version of the new moquette design?

I’m intrigued to see how this goes. Like the rest of the world, environment and emissions seem to have dropped right down the priority and view of the public and indeed government.
It has the risk of being another government funded folly but we shall see

(28 Oct 2020, 8:44 pm)ne14ne1 Blue and green seats:IMO, they look horrible. So just as new style liveries and interior start to be rolled out, they mix it all up again just because they are electric. Definately not a fan so far.....apart from the cant rail lights
