Strange, I though the registrations on the Reading Buses were an acronym for Zero Emission Bus, not Zenobe.

I thought exactly the same when I was down Reading on Monday.

Seems like a pretty fair write up and comparison.
I can’t disagree with him there.

Those rear tables on the reading buses look pretty useless.

Those seats on the Reading Buses in that article are the best type of bus seat I've had personally. It's the same type that Stagecoach have on their 16 plate Enviro 400MMC, but then they switched to the less comfy ADL Smart Seat for their newer buses, and the GNE ones also have the ADL Smart Seat, yet now ADL seem to have moved away from that again and back to these better seats as their 74 plate Enviro 400EV at Arriva Blyth has these seats again. Shame GNE haven't gone for those seats ever, or Arriva, as their new buses have the Civic seats, which are ok, but not as good as these.

Go North East have once again updated there Driver Changeover Fleet with investment in a batch of Grey "75 Plate" Volkswagen Golfs in which I noted a few at North Shields this afternoon.
1316 - PK75 HZU / 1318 - PK75 KFP / 1320 - PK75 VLR were the ones I had seen and have Go-Ahead North East "Part Of Go-Ahead" Logos applied on the Driver/Passenger Side Doors.
