Further buses have been acquired from Dawson Rentals. These are Optare Versa V1170/Optare 5507 (YJ62 FFB) and 5508 (YJ62 FLD), the former of which was in the fleet previously on loan from Optare as 9133. Additionally on loan from Dawson Rentals is Dennis Dart SLF 4/ADL Enviro 200 9052 (KX58 BGY).

Go North East has lost the contract to operate the SNS service between Sunderland and the Nightingale Hospital, with this service being awarded to Gateshead Central Taxis instead. As such, the three “SunderlandShuttle” branded Mercedes Citaro 0350N/Mercedes Citaro - 5334 (BJ10 VUU), 5335 (BJ10 VUV) and 5336 (BJ10 VUW) – have returned to service at Deptford.

The next stage of the government roadmap to recovery out of the current pandemic sees the re-opening of non-essential retail, gyms, hairdressers, nail salons, libraries and outdoor ttractions. As such, Go North East will return to almost full pre- Covid timetable levels, with re-allocations required as a result. Mercedes Citaro 0350N/Mercedes Citaro 5328 (BJ10 VUN), 5330 (BJ10 VUP), 5331 (BJ10 VUR), 5332 (BJ10 VUS) and 5333 (BJ10 VUT) have returned to service at Deptford following repaint into X-lines livery for service X20.

    The Value of New Transport in Deprived Areas Who Benefi Ts, How and Why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou

    The value of new transport in deprived areas Who benefi ts, how and why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou An assessment of the value of new transport services to people living in deprived neighbourhoods in England. Regeneration strategies for deprived areas are currently under review. To date there has been little if any direct evaluation of the contribution of transport services to local regeneration. This study evaluates the benefi ts – both monetary and quality of life – of transport services to the people who use them and to the local practitioners responsible for the wider regeneration of these neighbourhoods. It covers: • the policy context; • characteristics of the four case study areas (Braunstone, Leicester; Camborne, Pool, and Redruth, Cornwall; Wythenshawe, Manchester and Walsall, West Midlands); • key fi ndings from interviews with local professionals; • information on use of the services and their value to local people; • an evaluation of the social benefi ts of the services; • key messages for local and central government.

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.
