Go North East: 2014/15 Financial Year Order Predictions

(17 Feb 2015, 3:10 pm)Michael But less seats to...
Is the only currently in production is the Mirco-hybrid version? Is there a longer version to this?
Unless its getting bendies again (Just jking or i'm i?)

(17 Feb 2015, 3:15 pm)Jimmi I'm not sure if there is anything bigger in production that isn't an arctic (I may be wrong).
If the X66 gets StreetLite's hopefully it will have the same seating layout as the Drifter examples which have 45 seats.
The only other things they could do is increase the frequency or get double deckers but double deckers are too tall for the Centrelink.

Seriously though, if you compare them to London vehicles - seating capacity is low, but they have the added bonus of being able to accommodate plenty of standees.
It got me thinking about the setup on the European trams to be honest and whether the centre doors could be used to get on/off and the smartcards being used to tap in/out.
The only difference being, that those with cash/paper tickets could use the front door.
Whether punters would take advantage of it and how things could be monitored, I don't know.

(17 Feb 2015, 3:22 pm)Jimmi Not sure on London style bus set ups as I have never rode any buses in London.
The smartcards' thing for centre doors could maybe work, perhaps you could police it by having someone standing at the centre doors in Gateshead Interchange and MetroCentre Bus Station and people quickly show their pass (eg. Key or Concession pass) to the person then place it on a scanner and any cash fares go to the front doors. Not sure if this would work though and will probably never happen.

Remember that the Nexus QCS model doesn't permit the use of double door vehicles, unless it's specifically required for a route. I don't think any company would risk purchasing such vehicles at this stage, in case they end up having to offload them on the cheap.

(17 Feb 2015, 6:44 pm)Andreos1 Forgot about that!
Was there any additional detail, apart from euro spec?

(20 Feb 2015, 9:16 pm)Malarkey Could be Enviro 200s.
(20 Feb 2015, 8:54 pm)DaveyBowyer Well if that is true, then that as well as all vehicles having Cummins engines brings suggests that it's Streetlites
