RE: Weardale
What is now W666WMS, originally an 08 reg, came as a two door Airport bus with luggage racks along the front half. Weardale converted it to "normal" and unless you're a nut & bolt counter you can't tell the difference - although one has six gears, the other only four and I can't remember which is which. Rumour has it Enviro 200s are most likely now, but if so I hope they're better than the demo they had a couple of month ago, which for performance and passenger comfort was a definite step down from the current MANs. However, the two Citaro demonstrators they've had (66 reg last week, 14 reg last year - the same one GNE had some time before) were great, comfortable for passengers and liked by drivers, but it seems the 66 reg wasn't as fuel efficient as hoped.
