It’s been confirmed that GNE have ordered new Yutong Electric Buses this morning on the Buses Magazine website to operate on services between Newcastle and Gateshead, so looks like they’ll be on the 53/54 services.

I wasn't a big fan of the Yutong to be honest, the build quality didn't seem the best on the demonstrator. It felt very top heavy and you could see the inside ceiling swaying as it went round corners

I would have thought the X66 would be the first route to be electrified as it seems like a very EV friendly route
