(Yesterday, 9:03 pm)SN69 ZRC wrote ive not heard anything but the 32/32A is up for tender anyways for march so if they did get new buses for 32s, it won't be until after they've fully claimed the new contract. and its not likely it will go to another operator, but the possibility is still there.
also, they would need to buy enviro100s as the yutongs will not fit around jesmond vale. dont even think the smaller E10 varients would either
The Yutong E10 and Enviro 200's are the same length aren't they (10cm apart)? 10.9m vs 10.8m I'm sure.
I don't know what the roads are like around Jesmond Vale but they cope on the 53/54 and the roads in the Coatsworth/Saltwell area can be bad for parking.
