Wonder if its a temporary vehicle or a permanent fix, Guess we'll find out when it's numbered.

RE: YJ62 FFB - Rapidsnap - 28 Apr 2021

Certainly been around this Versa.

Exhibted at Bus and Coach 2012 in GNE Red and GNE interior. Ran for GNE as 9133, then went for a tour of other Go-Ahead companies. It has also had stints with Yorkshire Tiger, Transdev, Perrymans and B L Travel.

Here is Dans photo of it with GNE. https://www.flickr.com/photos/danielgrahamm/8482029396

Would say they'll end up at Chester or Riverside as they're the only depot with Versa's.

RE: YJ62 FFB - Rapidsnap - 30 Apr 2021

Washington depot also has Versas

Didn't know where else to put this, but appears from Oxford Chiltern, GNE have acquired E200 LJ09 KPN from Ensign

Seems like a rather strange decision since it'll be unique in the fleet...

I hold no further information so not dropping any hints, but who's to say this is the only one being acquired?

However I do note that Levante YY63 OJD is listed as coming in from GNE but I don't believe saw use outside of East Yorkshire. One vehicle in and one out would suggest an exchange of sorts, and obviously EY are familiar with the 'old' E200.

RE: Further fleet acquisitions from Dawson Rentals - LVK 404L - 16 May 2021

LJ09 KPN is 284 with East Yorkshire

Go North East is the parent company of East Yorkshire.

In its latest updates, Ensign have therefore listed any vehicles received from East Yorkshire as having come from Go North East, and likewise any vehicles to East Yorkshire as having gone to Go North East.

This bus, and the other ADL E200s recently acquired from Ensign, have nothing to do with Go North East. They have all gone to the East Yorkshire business.
