Go North East: 5463 / NK17GHO
Go North East's Deptford-based "Black Cats" branded Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Max Micro-Hybrid 5463 (NK17 GHO) is pictured here underneath the Wearmouth Bridge, Sunderland, whilst out of service, on a promotional photoshoot, prior to entering service. 14/06/17
Manufactured by Wrightbus in Northern Ireland, this batch of 18 vehicles, which are to be launched at Deptford Depot, feature the latest Euro 6 Micro-Hybrid engines with the cleanest vehicle emissions standards. Unlike previous Euro 5 examples in the fleet, they therefore feature a Wrightbus grille on the rear bonnet, providing additional air circulation.
Similar to all recent orders, these vehicles feature Esteban Civic V3 seating complete with e-leather; two-colour Tarabus 'Wood Effect' flooring; and blue accent lighting, which is fitted underneath seats, to provide extra light on the gangway. They also feature free customer Wi-Fi, audio-visual Next Stop Announcement LED internal signs, and USB power sockets on the back of each seat to allow mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to be charged 'on the go'.
These vehicles have received "Black Cats" branding. Service 39 (Doxford Park - Pennywell), which was recently branded as "Black Cats", will be allocated some of these vehicles, while "SimpliCity" services 2/2A (Silksworth - Washington Galleries) will also be allocated some of these vehicles, with the current brand identity being phased out. The existing Scania L94UB/Wright Solar vehicles on service 39 will be re-allocated to services 38 and 61, while the Optare Versas are expected to transfer out of Deptford Depot, for fleet standardisation.
"Black Cats" is the new brand identity being introduced to encompass a variety of different frequent services in and around the city of Sunderland, promoting the cheap and competitively priced day and weekly tickets available for travel in the city (£3.65 for a day ticket, and £12.15 for a weekly ticket).
