Interior shot of Arriva North East's Jesmond-based "Coastliner" branded Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid 1583 (NK64 EEW), 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 Tynemouth, whilst attending a publicity event to launch the new vehicles which are due to enter service on the 306 route. 14/10/14
Arriva North East held a unique and innovative marketing publicity launch on October 14th 2014 to mark the £1.3 million investment into Jesmond's 306 service, which operates between Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, North Shields, Coast Road and Newcastle. Sand artists created a marvellous image in the sand - taking just under five hours to construct - which attracted the attention of many passers-by. The brand new vehicles were also in attendance, with the doors being opened to allow members of the public to be some of the very first people to look around the new buses. A small picnic was also had on-board one of the buses, with coffee also being handed out to warm everyone up.
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.
