(13 Mar 2019, 5:48 pm)Dan It's been a while since we've last had some activity in this thread...
Go North East MD Martijn Gilbert was the guest speaker at a group meeting of the Northern Group Enthusiasts Club yesterday evening. During the talk, Martijn confirmed that Go North East have placed an order for 44 new vehicles this year (33 double-deck and 11 single-deck).
With this extra detail now in our hands, does anyone want to have another guess at which vehicles may have been ordered, and for which services?
(13 Mar 2019, 6:45 pm)NewcastleOne X1/1a And X66 for Deckers and 93/94 or 97/97a for Singles

(13 Mar 2019, 6:46 pm)Michael Thought it would be other way around and have more single deckers on order.Yes even the odd 69xx Gemini has appeared on it.
That's only 18 deckers out of the 33 (3 spares) = 21
Can the X66 use deckers on the centrelink though?

(13 Mar 2019, 8:07 pm)S813 FVK No - they would have to continue along Askew Road or any other suitable route.
Wouldn't affect journey times by that much, though presumably will be longer.

(13 Mar 2019, 9:22 pm)L469 YVK As much as we'd love to see something better than the StreetDecks on the Castles Express, I think they will stay put for the time being.
If GNE really wanted them off the Castles Express, they would've went with a mixed fleet allocation for the Cobalt Clippers (sending 7x refurbed B9TLs to Crook) and allocated them primarily to boards running late into the evening.
