I too like new design of Crusader but their is only 1 little thing I would change.
Side text where Monkton Lane name should be but it's missing, but it is only on rear.
I would add that in before completeing other buses.

Deptford's former "laser" branded Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5306 (NK08 CHO) is currently at Saltmeadows Road for a freshen up gold repaint.
It was discussed recently, so it's probably worth noting that "Cobalt Clipper" branded Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6104 (NL63 YJG) has returned to service following GKN Flywheel modifications. For those wanting a ride to compare to a 'normal' Volvo B9TL - it will be on the following departures out of Newcastle providing it is not changed over or regulated:
- 1402 #310 to North Shields
- 1540 #309 to Blyth
- 1820 #309 to Whitley Bay

I saw the Streetdeck demonstrator for the first time yesterday, as I was on my X12 back to Newcastle. It does look like a very smart vehicle, and I do like the classic Gemini oval shaped front windows, it also looked like it was doing a fair speed. I don't know if it was just because of the silver paint job, but it definitely did catch the eye, the headlights in particular.
If GNE decide that it isn't a viable purchase for the X21(?), I'd love to see them go for it on a more local, city/town based route. Not sure what it's like internally though.

Even less of a good fit if they're seriously considering it for the X9/10. Most of that route is high speed. The Geminis they already have are better.
Heck, even the old, clapped out Presidents on the X21 are better - they go like the clappers when they're working.
