B5TL Euro 6 Demonstrator with Go North East

Steven Hodgson, Sean Blair and Keith Lee have sent us pictures of the Lothian Buses liveried Wright Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TL demonstrator that is now in service with Go North East.

It has a H45/28F + 29 standing layout and will initially be based at Gateshead Riverside.  During the first week it will be used on the 'Toon link' 11, 31 & 47 services, then it will be based at Crook for the second week and be used on the 'Pronto X21'.   Go North East have given it the fleet number 9131.
