I highly doubt many people would have known about the launch of the E200's in Sunderland. If people had, there's a chance they might have trailed them. However, they aren't anything exciting, to me, unlike Go North East's launches. They're just a bog-standard vehicle to the public! I hope these new Gas Buses have a proper launch! They are much more exciting than E200's! More people would want to ride the Gas Buses than the E200's, I guess!
I think stagecoach could wait for the Gas buses to arrive, that sounds a better idea, TBH a launch for the new E200's would be pointless as we already have them before these ones arrived.
