A publicity launch took place at Tanfield Railway to mark the investment on Sunday 10 November. As a result, the four East Lancs OmniDekka bodied Scania N94UDs have been displaced as follows - 6123 and 6128 Consett to Saltmeadows - 6136 Consett to Riverside - 6162 Consett to Chester-le-Street As 6337 (YY64 GWX) is not yet ready to enter service, Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6137 (GX03 SVF) has transferred from Saltmeadows to Consett.

Scania L94UB/Wright Solars withdrawn are 5224 (NK54 NVX) from Riverside due to a PVR reduction on “Loop” services 93/94, 5228 (NK54 NWB) from Riverside due to the entry into service of the new ADL Enviro200 vehicles on “Green Arrow” service 97, and 5229 (NK55 OLG) from Percy Main due to the return from refurbishment of most of the Volvo B9 on “Cobalt & Coast” services 309/310. 27 October 2019 Repaints last week included Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6162 (YN04 GJK) into the 2019 fleet livery and Optare Solo M880/Optare 704 (YJ10 MFK) into Little Coasters livery. ADL Enviro 200MMC 5488 (NK69 FAU) has now been delivered, and is undergoing preparation for service at Saltmeadows Road; whilst 5493, 5494, 5496 and 5497 have now entered service at Riverside. Withdrawn as a consequence are Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 4944 (NK51 OLH) and Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB), 5235 (NK56 KHC) and 5237 (NK56 KHE). The latter three are expected to transfer to East Yorkshire imminently. Due to delay of the three new ADL Enviro 400MMCs entering service at Consett; a further swap of Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekkas have taken place in line with vehicle safety inspections being completed, with 6122, 6124, 6125 and 6138 returning to Saltmeadows from Consett, and 6123, 6128 and 6136 taking their place at Consett from Saltmeadows. Ex-Brighton & Hove Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6162 (YN04 GJK) has also now entered service, temporarily at Consett. Similar 6163 (YN54 AOM) has been taken out of service from the Saltmeadows Road school fleet to be repainted. Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekkas 3995, 3996 and 6131 have now transferred from Percy Main to Riverside to operate the private scholars contract 850/851. Scania L94UB/Wright Solar 5217 (NK54 NVN) has been sold for preservation to the Northern National Restoration Group. 20 October 2019 Repaints last week included former East Yorkshire ADL Trident 2/ADL Enviro 400MMC 795 (YY64 GWX) into the generic grey/charcoal Xlines livery. This vehicle is now numbered 6337 within the Go North East fleet. The delivery of new vehicles continues, with the latest being Mercedes-Benz 516CDI Sprinter/EVM VS30 Cityline 729 (NK69 FAA). As such, 9071 (BU55 EVM) has been returned to EVM following its loan period to Go North East. Further new ADL Enviro 200MMCs into service at Riverside are 5491 and 5498. This has allowed for the withdrawal of Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5236 (NK56 KHD) from the fleet at Riverside, which was subsequently transferred to East Yorkshire along with the return of Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TL 9073 (MF51 LZX) following its loan period to Go North East. Further pre-owned buses acquired from East Yorkshire include ADL Trident 2/ADL Enviro 400MMC 794 (YX64 VOO) and Volvo B5TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 796 (BF63 HDC). They have been re-numbered 6336 and 6334 respectively. East Yorkshire 797 (BX14 SYT) will also be amalgamated into the Go North East fleet soon. As driving colleagues have faced issues navigating the vehicles around the route on the private scholars contract they have been allocated to at Riverside, long wheelbase Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekkas 6167 (YN56 FFG), 6168 (YN56 FFH) and 6169 (YN56 FFJ) have transferred to Percy Main. After the school holidays, they will be swapped for three short wheelbase examples in the short-term, but the longer-term plan is to repaint the three black examples allocated to this route previously, when there is a gap in the paint schedule to accommodate this. Alternative plans are being reviewed to combat the high passenger loadings (which was the reason for the allocation of the longer vehicles from September). 13 October 2019 Repaints last week included Wright StreetDeck 6332 (NK67 GOA) into the blue variant of the Xlines livery.

  • Suppliers to Volvo Bussar Säffle AB
    Press information Volvo Buses receives record order from Perth, Australia Volvo Buses has been announced as the winning contractor for the supply of up to 900 buses over the next decade to the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia (PTA). The buses will operate in the Perth metropolitan region. This is Volvo’s largest chassis order to date in Australia. Volvo will supply the units together with bodybuilder Volgren Australia. The milestone agreement with the PTA Public Transport Authority of Western Australia (PTA) has an order value of AUD 274 million for the first 5 year term, and is part of an investment in the state’s future bus fleet where vehicles reaching the end of their useful life will be replaced with new high quality, modern vehicles. Volvo will remain prime contractor under the new deal, which is the second long-term contract from the PTA for the global bus and chassis manufacturer. An average of 90 buses will be delivered per year for up to 10 years, with an initial 5 year deal, and option for a further 5 years. “With the latest order the PTA continues to put strong confidence in the Volvo team. We have the great opportunity to continue our strategic long-term partnership, supporting the PTA and the PTA operators for the next 10 years and beyond,” Håkan Agnevall, President Volvo Buses, said. “Together with our strong dealer partner, Truck Centre WA, we are extremely proud and humbled by the announcement that not only recognizes our latest offer to the PTA for future deliveries and support, but also the high quality products, service and support delivered by the Australian team over the last nine years throughout the previous contract.” The contract will initially see the supply of Volvo’s latest Euro 6 B8RLE buses.

    Fleet Archive 2020 12 July 2020 Repaints last week included Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3943 (NK05 GZR) into the 2019 fleet livery. An additional National Express diagram will be in operation from Chester-le-Street Depot’s Coaching Unit from Monday 13 July 2020. As such, Volvo B11RT/Caetano Levante 3 7148 (BV69 KPK) and 7149 (BV69 KRD) have now been reinstated at Chester-le-Street. Optare Solo SR M890/Optare 652 (NL63 XZZ) has transferred to Chester-le-Street Depot from Washington, to see primary use as a ‘bait bus’ and to provide cover for the minibus services in the event of any of the three already allocated to Chester-le-Street being off service. In exchange, Washington has received Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5263 (NK56 KJY). The seasonal Toon Tour service is not yet running, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this; open-top format Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TLs 3997 (897 EYX) and 3998 (794 EYD) have been reinstated at Percy Main, and 3999 (574 CPT) at Riverside. As these vehicles are something of a novelty; they are expected to be used on frontline core commercial work on sunny days, with the aim of creating some happiness and fun during the current pandemic. Washington Depot will no longer receive the brand-new ADL Enviro 400s which were on order. They will now receive the new Wright StreetDecks instead. As such other repaints will now be prioritised, with the batch of StreetDecks for Washington not expected until September. Float/reserve Volvo B7TL/East Lancs Myllennium Vyking 3971 (PJ02 PYX) has transferred from Washington to Riverside, in a full capacity, to enable the withdrawal of Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6939 (PJ02 RAX) which has subsequently been sold to L&G Coaches, Birtley.

    Fleet Archive 2020 15 March 2020 Repaints last week included Optare Solo M890/Optare 628 (NK61 DBZ) into “Little Coasters” livery. Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6004 (NK11 BHE) has also lost its branding for the “Red Arrows”, having been stripped of all vinyls, ahead of the introduction of new vehicles to this service in May. There were no fleet movements last week. 8 March 2020 Repaints last week included Mercedes Citaro 0350N/Mercedes Citaro 5278 (NK07 KPN) and 5279 (NK07 KPO) into the 2019 fleet livery. Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6143 (YN04 GKA) is no longer a float/reserve vehicle and now forms part of the main fleet allocation at Riverside. It has replaced former East Yorkshire Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6935 (X508 EGK) which has suffered defects uneconomical to repair. Float Optare Solo M890/Optare 636 (NK61 FMD) is now allocated to Percy Main to provide cover for the remaining “Little Coasters” branded Optare Solo repaints.
