Of course, their sales figurss speak volumes, so I agree it'd be good to see further trials in the North East. They did have the E200 demo on the 53/54 a couple years ago, but I'm sure things have moved on since then.

When Arriva North West's BYD E200's entered service, the ride was absolutely appalling, rattles and felt like it was being slammed into each pot hole it went over, they actually ended up being sent to have work done on them more recently to try and counteract the issues and mercifully the ride has been improved since. The demo GNE trialled seemed much better (LJ68CYO: https://flic.kr/p/24wSp7B)

Can't pass many comments on the Yutong's as it's a while since I last had a ride on one anywhere.
