Now being Versas, do these vehicles have a larger capicity than the Citaros that were originally on the route (are these the ones on the diamond now?)
Personally i prefered that livery, over the orange on the versas.
Yes, those Citaros are indeed the ones on the Diamond.
Personally, im not too sure but I think it had something to do with the capacity at peak times, they trialled a bendy and decided that it was the best option so they got some. I think those artics were worn down though off the London life, hence why they were so unreliable, if they had been purchased new, it would still use them now.
However, also going back a bit, why did they trial a Versa on the Diamond if Go North East say that the route wont get new veichles for a while yet.
