Which BHP did GNE go for in the diesel ultroliners? I did a search on a vehicle enquiry site,and one of them came back as 300bhp.

6820/6821 have both entered service on the 58 today.

I've seen there's been a few wobblers with the new Ultroliners (both diesel / ev).

At least not as bad as when 6071-83 got pulled off the road on launch day back in 2013, and a mad scramble to get the Mercs intended for the 27 from Sunderland Road back to Winlaton / Hexham.

6820 did indeed break down on Split Crow Road, was recovered by alpha.

Had my first drive of one today, can't say I've very impressed with them.

Looking at my Exif Data I photographed it at Gateshead 13:20ish

6823 looks to also potentially entered service, currently tracking on Bustimes.org on the 21 to CLS.

No other Electroliners are out on the 21/58's this evening.

Yes this did a few trips on the 21 this evening, replaced 6807 that had low battery charge.

A have a feeling those Voltra Deckers will spend more time on the 21 then the actual 58.

What was that all about? I wasn't into buses then so have never heard about this?
