I will try and find out. The Yorkshire fleet is absolutely shocking, so its not really a surprise that they are looking at cascading within the region.
On the Coast Road, GNE are blaming NECA for not progressing bus priority and the desire to make savings on peak time resources.
Unlikely. I suspect GNE actually want to make savings.
Good to see they're keeping the Gemini's if they decide to. I know they're older, but it's not like they're miles apart and I'd assume both will be gone before long anyway. The Pulsar's at Blyth bar the few on the X9, are a nuisance, as an understatement and I'd think anyone would prefer a Gemini which have aged well really.
I assume the E400MMC's currently Whitby will be heading North as part of it, so suppose that's another 4 if that's the case?

Assume the GNE changes, will be the scrapping of services heading from/to Newcastle at peak times, and them forming the X39's instead to save a few buses and drivers. Had a feeling it wouldn't be anything positive. GNE and positive don't go together.
