When I use the Arriva X12 if they have replaced the the allocated vehicle with a B7 ALX 400 I don't hear passengers complaining that they are getting an old ex London Bus. I suspect that when customers get the same quality seating and WiFi they remain satisfied and probably don't even notice that they have a different vehicle.
Go North East could easily stop all this noise about spare vehicles on the Angel by investing some of the fares increase in a few WiFi units and a new set of seat coverings for 6140.
Even eldest Constantopolous (who isn't an enthusiast) who uses the 21 on a twice daily basis is commenting on the missing green hybrids. Or as he put's it 'the green double deckers'.
He doesn't know the vehicle models, but describes rides on 'the single deckers that are like the one's on the 28 and used to be on the M1 and old double deckers'.
If a hormone heavy, stroppy 15 year old can spot the difference, I reckon there will be other regulars who do too.
