Go North East's New Ex GAL Enviro 400's - KingSlayerRBLX - 07 May 2022

Apparently GNE have bought these 3 ex London Enviro 400's. They were up for sale with Ensignbus. If Dan or anyone can confirm that would be great.
These are Euro 6 so probably the replacement of 6942. Probably going to Deptford if they do end up at GNE.
Predictions for Fleet Numbers?

It's weird seeing as GNE haven't had e400's before.

RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - Malarkey - 07 May 2022
In all fairness they've got Dennis Trident Enviro 400MMC's currently in the fleet and have previously had Dennis Trident Plaxton Presidents/East Lancs Lolyne's so they have a history and familiarisation of the vehicle type in question which will also help standardise the fleet.

yeah 3 is a bit odd.
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - ne14ne1 - 07 May 2022
Nice! Hope they keep the exit doors
Should’ve got some for the sightseeing tour too but probably not justifiable.

327 maybe? It doesn't need anything new at all but it also needs to be Euro 6. It's been pretty much forgotten about (on here).

Aye that's true, not sure what the PVR is for it. It seems to depend on the day most days it seems to be 2 bar Saturdays where it seems to be 3 bar the two bank holidays where it was 6/7.
3 seems to be enough for it the majority of days, Summer might be different but sure they can find something extra for then (not sure what mind).
Either way it needs something and there's not enough B9's sitting around for it.
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - Aaron21 - 07 May 2022
The 327 is odd now
One day it requires 1
Another it requires 6 to 7
Then could requires 2 or all 3
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - Michael - 07 May 2022

These three join the three already in the North East, so up to now that’s six.

May I also ask what is happening with the poppy bus
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - Rapidsnap - 07 May 2022
Don't think there be enough drivers to deliver the entire lot in one single swoop. Plus it's easier to keep track of smaller batches of vehicles in case of breakdowns etc.

Zooming in on the pic, it looks like the nearest one to the camera is an 08 plate.

Ah so could be a replacement for the Omnidekka's then.
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - L469 YVK - 08 May 2022
Are these low height or full height like ANE 7501-13 (57 plates)?

(08 May 2022, 8:30 am)Storx wrote It should be 09 plate not 08.
Theyre coming from E100 - E150 (09 / 60 plate) in London (not all obviously).
E101 - E103 havent been in service for months so they will likely be some of them. Been reported on the GoAhead London Bus forum that they're going to local companies.
It's LX08 ECA.
2+2 doesn't always equal 5.

Admit I was wrong there. Deleted the original post. Didn't realise they were in service still but just seen them now.

RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - ne14ne1 - 09 May 2022
These will be handy for metro replacement & other shuttle work too being euro 6 and dual doored.
I was doing to ask if these are from the batches that seemed to have a slight tinted look to their windows and blueish interior lighting when you see them pass at night, but the windows look clear in that screenshot, so maybe not.
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - ne14ne1 - 13 May 2022
No pics anywhere of them at Saltmeadows?
RE: Ex London Enviro 400's to GNE - Rapidsnap - 13 May 2022
They be stored out of sight around the back of Saltmeadows.
