Newcastle Clean Air Zone: services which need to be upgraded
So just been thinking with CAZ coming very soon the 26/27/57 need to get replacements and what i am thinking was 5442-5451 & 5463-5480 head to riverside and send the citaro's to Hownsgill and Deptford, in a way downgrade but same spec ?

(03 Mar 2020, 9:18 pm)JP6004 6/12/26/27/57 will all be affected. Dont forget the 8 saltwell park streetlites will be available soon.
As far as I'm aware, streetlites can be upgraded to euro 6

(03 Mar 2020, 9:48 pm)streetdeckfan I'd imagine the E400s are just as efficient, if not moreso than the vehicles they run instead
Those Streetlites can't be upgraded.
Citaros are a nicer ride, but the seats make them unbearable. So I'd happily take a Streetlite over a Citaro!

(04 Mar 2020, 12:39 am)mb134 Yet decade old B7RLEs and B9TLs can easily be converted...
Ironic that in many instances the Streetlite replaced heavy duty vehicles such as the B7RLE, yet the latter is more future proof than the rattling monstrosity.

(03 Mar 2020, 9:57 pm)Malarkey Quite a lot of vehicles to be reallocated in the coming months as a result of new buses coming in.
Volvo B9TL's
6001 to 6007, 6049 to 6055, 6149 to 6161
6118 to 6121 as we already know are going to East Yorkshire
Wright Streetlites
5409 to 5418, 8339 to 8346
Mercedes Citaros
5275 to 5284, 5294 to 5318, 5320 to 5325
5481 to 5487 as we already know will be withdrawn from service
Optare Versas
5377 to 5384 and 5389

(04 Mar 2020, 8:03 pm)Michael Definitely gonna be an interesting year for cascades.
Interested to see what will replace the Citaro's on the Newcastle routes... is it the 1st January 2021 when the CAZ zone comes in to force.

Weren't some of 6149-6161 going onto the Loop.
Don't think the buses for the 58 are due this year, so the Versas prob remain until 2021, plus they can be upgraded to Euro 6.
Rough guess would be Red Arrow B9s to the 26/27 whilst which ever of 6149 - 6161 that don't go on the loop go to Hexham for the X84/X85 until the new buses for the X9/X10 arrive. Euro 6 Streetlites to go on the 6/12/57?

(04 Mar 2020, 8:42 pm)streetdeckfan I vaguely remember someone mentioning that the plans for the Loop being upgraded to deckers had basically been cancelledTemporarily cancelled due to the late Streetdecks. I believe the plan is still for 6 of 6149-6161 to be used on the 93/94.

(04 Mar 2020, 10:14 pm)streetdeckfan That's probably it. Like I said I only vaguely remember it being mentioned!What difference does it make by the registration, they will probably arrive as 20 plates making it look like even newer buses than ordered, still the same buses made just a few months late
To be honest, the main thing that has annoyed me about the late StreetDecks is the fact they won't be 69 plates anymore!
