Vehicle History
March 2020
Go North East
Replaced in the fleet at Riverside following the move of Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5486 (HW07 CXX) and 5487 (HW07 CXY) onto the main fleet allocation, this vehicle has now been withdrawn from service at Riverside. Like 5226 (NK54 NVZ), this vehicle is in line to transfer to East Yorkshire on temporary loan, although has in fact been sold to Plymouth Citybus (where it will transfer onward in a few weeks time), for their expanding Go Cornwall Bus operation, following the award of a large number of contracts previously held by First Group.
