Unlikely that any will land in the North East before Christmas. I'm sure Go North East would rather Bus & Coach World prioritise the Mercedes Citaro refurbishment so that these are all back in time for the South Tyneside network revisions in January.
The first few started arriving at Bus & Coach World around 2 weeks ago.
