Go North East - Second-hand vehicle acquisitions
(12 Sep 2022, 12:04 pm)Chris 1 Thanks. I thought I recalled reading something years ago about the type approval regulations changing, and there no longer needing to be a separate emergency door on a duel door bus.

Regarding the possible removal of the centre doors, a point that needs to be remembered is that on the E400's, the wheelchair ramp is on the centre door, like it was on the 02 reg Volvo B7TL/East Lancs that were used on the Pink Angel a few years ago. This would prevent the removal of the doors. The design of the Wright Gemini 2 may be different, allowing the removal of the door.

(12 Sep 2022, 12:47 pm)Chris 1 Yeah, was after a certain date. 2011 maybe? I can't remember the exact changes, but I'm sure there was something like side marker lights and bumpers included as well.
Is this not where the designation of E40D (or indeed E20D) came in?

There is a simple reason the E400 haven't been converted.... Yet?
They are beneficial for quicker loading and unloading which is handy for work like this and especially with the tight turnaround time at South Shields.
The other reason is that they wouldn't have had time to do the conversion before the contract started. They could well be done at a later date.
(12 Sep 2022, 1:11 pm)Chris 1 I think the ramp is on the middle door on all London bus types these days. Could be wrong mind.I agree. You have to take into consideration the position of the raised kerb at bus stops are not in a position for centre door ramps.
Most bus stations in the North East would have issues with Dual Door buses.
Only ones that can completely used easily by Dual Door Buses are Gateshead, MetroCentre, Washington Galleries, Hexham, Killingworth, Blyth, Ferryhill, Four Lane Ends and Regent Centre.
All the others are either Drive On Reverse Off or have badly positioned street furniture / shelters blocking the second doors.
(12 Sep 2022, 4:03 pm)Storx Bus stations are the issue in the North East in particular Haymarket and Eldon Square as the middle door is behind the no go barrier so they couldn't get on at all.At South Shields and stands A-G at Park Lane, the centre door would just empty onto the road (assuming another bus isn't blocking it).

L&G are running a few scholar services on behalf of GNE. It's the same arrangement when A-Line / Stanley have provided a driver and bus to cover GNE journeys
Not sure a final list was ever confirmed, so:
