A number of comments have been made on this group and others recently about how poor Go North East's decision-making is, when it comes to investing in new vehicles.
I have just seen a sponsored advertisement on my Facebook feed from Go North East, promoting their new Wright StreetDeck buses on the Angel 21 service (link below):

It's amazing to see how many customers have made such positive comments about these buses and how they're an improvement on the previous allocation. There's very few negative comments, which suggests that these buses aren't all that bad, in the eyes of a 'normal' passenger.
One comment that stood out below:
"Used one today. What a great experience. Used a table to carry out paperwork. The power supply worked and free wi fi. All that was missing was a G&T ?. I'm 6'4" and there was ample leg space too. A real pleasure I must say. I almost want to ride another soon but wont admit to it. Well done ?"
