Here is your answer Jordan

(29 Nov 2017, 7:13 pm)Dan The current Hybrid allocation allows 66 seated + 28 standing.

Even with the tables, StreetDecks allow 68 seated + 31 standing. The tables utilise existing leg-room and the seats are just rotated so that they face each other, so you only lose one row of seats either side (so 4 seats in total).

The downstairs seating configuration on the Hybrids is a bit strange too which results in a few less seats downstairs. The StreetDecks will have a standard seating layout, meaning that there will be 4 extra seats downstairs for passengers who are less able and can't get upstairs easily. Obviously compensated by two less seats upstairs compared to the Hybrids.

Either way it's a marginal upgrade in terms of capacity (16 extra seats per hour, Newcastle - Chester-le-Street).

Interesting name change, Is this in order to make the brand "fit all" ie an upcoming Rugby Union match in March and also the Rugby League magic weekend in May? I must say the black and White is not only appropriate but eye catching too.

It must be the Eagles. It can't be for the football or rugby teams. There's the image of a trophy! A total misrepresentation Wink

Would think it more for marketing purposes. 'Matchday Park & Ride' is pretty obvious what the service is providing, unlike Soccer Bus.

Go North East standard is wheelchair bay and separate buggy bay, which these have plus they have a "tile" in the floor indicating which each bay is for.
