(14 Mar 2016, 4:10 pm)Michael wrote So with 2 tridents catching fire, all of them should be withdrawn on safety grounds?

Don't think all of them should be withdrawn due to a couple of fires, so you're saying if a few of Newcastle's Enviro 400's caught fire, all of them should be withdrawn?


-----------------

Which MPD's will be withdrawn when the Solo Sr's arrive for the Tynedale Links and "Indigo 40/41/80"?

Will it be: 542, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 553, 554, 557, 558?


I would say that 566, 567, 568, 569 will be repainted to "Go North East" and used to replace the 3 remaining 52 reg ones.

557 to Riverside to act as a spare for when 563 or 8266 are of the a1 or s1
558 to crook to prevent deckers going on the 18
549 to 554 are directly withdrawn
566/67 to deptford to replace 542/48
568 to stanley replacing 547
569 to washington replacing 570 which went to London
What happened to 552 it is not on the fleet?

(14 Mar 2016, 6:53 pm)Dan wrote Optare have supplied Go North East with one of its Optare Metrocity demonstration models to evaluate it against the forthcoming Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid vehicle type on "Prince Bishops" services 20/20A. It will be used at Go North East for a period of up to one month, and has been allocated fleet number 9102.

If it can cope on the heavy-endurance Prince Bishops routes, it'll be able to handle the majority of other single decker routes Go North East operates too.

It will allow a direct comparison to the Wright Streetlites, which are due to enter service in May, for further single-deck orders.
