Nope 7x Streetdecks would go perfect on 310 PVR and that’s not the case for the 56. Not everything can go to Deptford.
Not everything can go to Percy Main either....

(13 Mar 2019, 11:37 pm)Malarkey I think so given they've ordered Enviros for the East Yorkshire network.

Would Crusader get DD off the other routes when they get newer buses.
Was hoping for environs for Crusader DD for 27 and e200s for 26.
(13 Mar 2019, 7:02 pm)cbma06 Dan, are any of these 44 new buses destined for EYMS?, just EYMS comes under GNE name.

(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?

(14 Mar 2019, 8:42 pm)Malarkey No way these could go around by Asda/Ikea and the Debenhams/House of Fraser end of the MetroCentre car park on the X66 or intu Eldon Square/Peterlee Bus Station for that matter, then you have the u-turn outside Billingham Asda to contend with also.
Standard sized deckers would be more suited for these services.

Volvo B8TL / ADL Enviro 400XLB for X9 / X10 maybe in the future, but I don't think it be in the next 2 years.

1x StreetDeck left over... so Chester/Crook spare.
11x E200 for the 4
B9TL replace Omnidekka at Stanley/Chester where necessary, perhaps some cascades to EYMS too.
