Go North East

RE: Go North East
There's a very interesting interview with a few people from GNE in Bus & Coach Week magazine. I found the link on the Go-Ahead website. The various sections about GNE are dotted around the magazine, as all other Go-Ahead companies are also mentioned.

To sum up:

Three more new superdepots are planned at Gateshead (beside the MetroCentre), Chester-le-Street and at Percy Main.

The new buses on the X9/X10 will have upmarket seating, but not full leather.

The Loop, Highwayman and Prince Bishops are the next liveries to be updated.

The Red Kite will also have a new brand, keeping the bird theme but with different colours.

Plans are in place to convert service Ten from single-decker operation to double-decker operation with more new buses (likely to be Wright Gemini 2's). The cascaded Citaro's will go onto the Crusader as part of the South Tyneside Quality Partnership.
