Go North East puts 29 electric Wrightbus double deckers into service

By Eve

Go North East has launched 29 electric double decker buses manufactured by Wrightbus. The deployment expands the operator's zero emission fleet in the North East of England. Bus & Coach Buyer reported the rollout, though specific route assignments and delivery timescales were not detailed in the available excerpt.

Why it matters: The order signals continued UK bus operator investment in electric double decker platforms and confirms Wrightbus as a volume supplier in the regional procurement pipeline. Fleet operators and charging infrastructure providers can track Go North East's depot electrification requirements as the 29 vehicles enter revenue service.
