Go North East: 6303 / NK16BXC
Go North East's Crook-based "The Castles Express" branded Wright StreetDeck 6303 (NK16 BXC) is pictured here at Eldon Square Bus Station, Newcastle upon Tyne, whilst working "The Castles Express" service X21 to Bishop Auckland. 12/03/16
Representing an investment of over £1.5m, this batch of vehicles are believed to be in line to upgrade "Pronto" services X21 and X46. These vehicles feature the latest technology, and are fitted with Daimler 4-cylinder, 5.1-litre OM934 Euro-6 Emission compliant engines. Internally; they feature Esteban Civic V3 seating complete with e-leather; four tables on the upper saloon; two-colour Tarabus 'Wood Effect' flooring; and blue accent lighting, which is fitted underneath seats, to provide extra light on the gangway.
The vehicles are also feature the provision of free Wi-Fi and power sockets, including USB charging points, allowing customers to keep connected on the go.
Go North East is currently trialling 'BUS REVERSING' messages on the destination display. When the reverse gear is engaged by the bus driver, the message automatically comes up on the destination display, alerting bystanders of the potential hazard, advising them to stand clear of the vehicle.
The message is anticipated to be most helpful at bus stations with reverse bays. Quite often, passengers wishing to board attempt to flag the bus down after the doors have already been closed and the driver has started to reverse.
