Arriva North East: 1582 / NK64EEV

Arriva North East's Jesmond-based "Coastliner" branded Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid 1582 (NK64 EEV), which carries a special 'green' livery to promote more environmentally-friendly public transport, with sub-branding also applied for service 306, is pictured here at St. Mary's Way, Newcastle upon Tyne, whilst working "Coastliner" service 306 to Newcastle. 19/10/14

 

Eight brand new Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid vehicles have been purchased by Arriva for their 306 service which is based at Jesmond depot. The vehicles all have comfortable e-leather seating, and are Wi-Fi enabled. These vehicle are a Micro-Hybrid version of the Wright Streetlite, which is 11.5m in length. The Micro Hybrid recovers energy lost from braking to power the vehicle electrics and compressed air systems, saving up to 10% in fuel costs. The buses therefore carry a special livery to mark this, and are also branded "Coastliner" to integrate service 306 with service 308, which is allocated similar liveried environmentally-friendly Volvo B5LH/Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles.
