This is not helped by the hole digging on west wear street.

Streetlites are exactly the same in regards to handbrake and doors.

Happy to be corrected but don't most vehicles have that now? I know the Pulsar's and Gemini's at Blyth have it (or had it anyway) as I can remember drivers getting annoyed over it years ago.

Quite surprised the Enviro's don't have it, but suppose they are 2006 vehicles in terms of development. Unsure on the MMC's - rarely get them.
The 2 Stockton ones parked in Hartlepool depot are 73132 (NL25FEM) and 73140 (NL25FFB)
Newer MMCs do have it but you don't need the handbrake on to open the doors, you just can't pull off with them open .

There were 2 Stockton depot parked up is there 4 all to Together is that right now.
The handbrake should be on if passengers are getting on and off! I can't believe drivers are sitting on the foot brake whilst doing this!

Mind the amount of people who don't use the hand brake and blind people with brake lights is stupid.
