The new timetable, apparently started in April this year, is now on the Nexus Website. Additionally the Tuesday timetable is now shown to operate also on Saturdays. No change to the Thursday timetable.
One of the most scenic routes anywhere.

Consultation event has kicked off across South Yorkshire.

Just thought about this. Now Volvo gave the option of the following engines with the Olympian:

- Volvo THD1***
- Cummims L10
- Volvo D10

Instead of using an integral D5K, should Volvo not have sold the chassis as a B7TL2 and used the Cummins ISBe 6.7 as the main engine option? Obviously the D8K was deemed overkill by operators and Scania had the 'heavy duty' market already covered with the N250UD.

Effectively, would still give the ride quality and handling Volvo are known for, but the power and fairly decent fuel economy of an E400MMC. Not forgetting that the ISBe is fairly fuel efficient around the doors too.

In a nutshell, would've been a good 'middle ground' alternative to the StreetDeck for operators who needed something more heavy duty (but not too overkill) and didn't want to go purchase from or deal with ADL.

Anyone else having the same issue as me with the Stagecoach App where when you click on a bus stop on the live map, none of the E's are showing, like yesterday, i clicked on the bus stop near the South Shields Ferry Landing, and it was only showing the 10, despite me knowing that the E1 also stops there

I see GNE are up for a couple of awards this year

Go-Ahead agrees 1,200 zero-emission bus deal with Wrightbus - https://www.route-one.net/news/go-ahead-...wrightbus/

The new deal will see new zero emission buses delivered over the next 3 years.

First year deliveries will include 201 examples that are part-funded by the second round of the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme, with the remainder for that period for Go-Ahead London. Years two and three will be accounted for “predominantly” by London, a spokesperson says.

Areas outside the capital that will benefit include East Yorkshire, Gloucestershire, the Isle of Wight, and Plymouth.

For every bus built under the agreement between Go-Ahead and Wrightbus, the two parties will plant 10 trees in the towns and cities where those vehicles are deployed.

Of course there is no mention of the North East getting anything from this deal that has been agreed.
