What is supposed to be allocated

(28 Feb 2016, 12:44 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com What is supposed to be allocated 

An Omnicity I believe

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016 - biglugs@yahoo.com - 28 Feb 2016

(28 Feb 2016, 12:50 pm)mb134 An Omnicity I believe

It should be 4653 as its quick links max

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016 - omnicity4659 - 28 Feb 2016

It should be a StreetLite, due to the OmniCitys not being trusted.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016 - DanPicken - 28 Feb 2016

2857-21.

Seems a pretty poor reason, the StreetLite's aren't designed for that route. I've used the X18 every other Sunday for the past year and a half, I've never seen a failed Omnicity on the 418, also the 418 is generally on time when its been allocated an Omnicity, however majority of the time I see a StreetLite its running late...

1465 was (don't know if it still is) on X66 via Hartburn and 26A's

StreetLites are more reliable, if a OmniCity breaks down between Alnwick and Berwick, it causes more hassle to get there, with getting to a breakdown taking over an hour in a bus. 

And the OmniCitys aren't reliable either... one was taken off the X14 recently with the suspension sky high, it's not worth the risk sending them further north than Alnwick on a Sunday, where resources are at a minimum.

I'm sure it would be if the Streetlites weren't, pretty much, to the same specification to the Omnicities.
