Anyway, a new profile picture for Citaro5284: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/22006945500/
Think he may want to leave it until it gets fully branded though.

(15 Oct 2015, 4:28 pm)Dan Its top speed is 0.02mph less than a Volvo B9 - its delay must be related to the vehicle!!!Those 0.02mph must make all the difference from running on-time to running late

Seriously though, what is the top speed of this? Will try and get myself a ride on this in the next few days and I will report back with how I feel it actually performs on the route.

(15 Oct 2015, 4:41 pm)Dan Volvo B9 has a top speed of 55.92mph, and the StreetDeck (now) has a top speed of 55.9mph. Over the course of an hour and a half, this would equate to a difference of about 50 metres if I've done the maths correctly?
Obviously the rate of acceleration will differ, but I can't see that being the result of the StreetDeck being 20 minutes late (especially when he only lost 4 minutes on the southbound trip).

(15 Oct 2015, 4:46 pm)Kuyoyo He arrived on Pilgrim Street about 1702 and left at 1704. However, I have heard reports of an accident on the A66 around Middlesbrough so depends when that happened.

(15 Oct 2015, 4:50 pm)Dan ..and it was 17:10 by the time he arrived at Eldon Square - voila, we arrive at the 20 minutes late figure I gave above!

(15 Oct 2015, 5:07 pm)DaveyBowyer To be fair, the Streetdeck if mechanically able to cope well with constant high speeds and high temperatures, shouldn't have too much trouble on the TTX. Would be interesting to see how it would cope if Riverside rested 6084 or a B7TL on the TEN even though it would most unlikely not get upto Hexham on the full TEN for various reasons.
