(24 Nov 2015, 9:48 pm)NK53 TKT I want the merits, they are considerably better than the Cadets, especially NK04 ZLE

I'll have the Cadets/Merits and the Versa's can go on the 82/A.

(24 Nov 2015, 9:41 pm)GX03 SVC Arriva certainly don't return to usual route after a scheduled road closure until end of service. It causes enough inconvenience to passengers to walk to the alternative stop. Drivers are advised to follow the diversion at all times, even if the road is open.

Yes, the Arriva/Stagecoach buses were following the diversion until 16:00.

What's the issue with the Versas? Decent modern bus in my opinion, and if it means it's not another Streetlite, well then that's a bonus! Smile

They don't seem to offer much over the streetlite, to be honest. And the seating layout is a bit pants.

Sitting sideways on the Q2(?, Gateshead to Heworth via Leam Lane) killed my back, can't complain though, I was travelling on a free B+P BuzzFare!

I agree with BusLoverMum, the layout is rubbish on the Versa's, i like the Versa's but the streetlites are better.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

I actually prefer the Versa's to the StreetLite's, rattle far less than the StreetLite's so certainly more comfortable then! Although I don't think I've been on one since about March.

The front is a bit of a strange layout, and there's not much room for luggage, but I can't deny that the legroom at the very back on the right hand side of the bus is the absolute best!

I see some of the Venture solos have started to lose some of the local fares slogans. 650 has lost the wording from the back and 648 from the top on one side only. At first I thought it might be accident repairs but you can see where the lettering has been.
Also streetlite 5415 running around with a plain red panel on the offside where the Red in Red Kite should be.

(24 Nov 2015, 9:57 pm)DanPicken They're Transbus/Alexander engined so its fine.

Transbus / Alexander don't make the engines. All of the Darts operated by GNE either have a Cummins 6BT engine (up to 51 plate) or a Cummins ISBe engine (52 Plate onwards). Though 8222 was retrofitted with a Cummins ISBe engine at some point.
