Arriva North East

RE: Arriva North East
Did a few Northumbria area vehicles in Newcastle over the weekend. Did a Sapphire Enviro400 on the X21 and was surprised the upper deck seating was refurb’d Estaban Civic’s rather than the coach seated type the Cmryu ones have. Sort of a shame in a way they’ve lost their ‘Operation Overdrive’ interiors as this made them a bit unique within Arriva. Also did a ‘Max’ Gemini on the X12 which kind of seemed about the same as the Sapphire Enviro400 but all told very good stuff from Arriva. Also did the B5 Gemini’s and Streetlite’s on the 306/308 CoastLiner routes too. Again good IMO but I was surprised the B5 Gemini’s had moquette seating rather than the E-Leather the ANW ones have. All round good stuff.
