Well GNE are set to get the Go North West Streetlites, I imagine for Sunderland to replace the Berries Versas.

(18 Mar 2024, 9:42 am)ian foster I have noticed on bus times fleet list that 6188 is now back with Go North East. However it is still in GNW livery so I would assume it has gone for re paint before entering service againIt’s not back in the north east yet - will be some time before it re-appears as being repainted/seats retrimmed.

There the same as the ex saltwell parks 8339-8346 which are based at Deptford in corporate livery, there slightly shorter than Drifters

Yes . there the ones

6232 has appeared on Bustimes as a Durham Diamond Enviro 400
RE: Go North East - Second-hand vehicle acquisitions - Unber43 - 03 Apr 2024
Such a downgrade
RE: Go North East - Second-hand vehicle acquisitions - Iamtheone8483748 - 03 Apr 2024
The public travelling will hardly see it as a downgrade though, depending on how well they have been refurbed inside.

I'm unsure mind, for all the faults of the B5's. Old Enviro 400's generally are rattly as hell and also very noisy. They always seem to be either -10 degrees or 40 degrees aswell and pretty unpleasant vehicles.
It'll be interesting to see how they handle rural routes day in, day out which have been rattled in London all their life.
