Has anyone actually confirmed what Arriva has ordered yet? Genuine question as I've never seen nothing announced, there's still 4 missing buses altogether aswell which are totally unaccounted for. Maybe the single might be flipped last minute or alternatively they might gain the extra 4 but I'm unsure what for.
52 Buses Won
----------------------------
20 Buses - Stagecoach (Confirmed 20x Yutong)
14 Buses - Arriva
14 Buses - GoNorthEast
4 Buses - ???
This wasn't won under ZEBRA so assume the moving around things might be a bit more flexible, ie. SNE never bid for the 20 at all which is gaining some.
I would be gutted to lose the 47 service. Definitely mostly NHS staff on there anyway though.
Looking forward to riding the new electric Arriva buses, whatever they are. Even if the 47 is scrapped.
Good to see Yutongs for SNE, and surprised Peter Hogg have ordered electric ADLs for the X74.
Hopefully the X16 will be a frequent service and not just replacing the 710. At least a daily return would be ideal for the full route.
Would Arriva tickets be valid on the 392 or just Nexus day tickets and Day Rovers/Savers?
