(31 Aug 2016, 2:31 pm)streetlite5402 Can remember when the Omnicities first came back to Chester in early 2014 for the 50, a few drivers found the ''hand brake on to open doors'' system difficult to get used to again. 3889 had it fitted years ago, think there was some sort of incident so it was brought in on that one, can't recall 3885-3888 getting it done though.You sure it's 3889? It's a real quick release if it is.

(31 Aug 2016, 9:12 pm)S813 FVK I do have a feeling that these solos will be for Deptford though. Maybe the 33 branded the same as the 39? They look to be the same shade of red as the Solars and they may just want to launch the services at the same time (hence the delay in branding the solars).

I, too, hope the northerns at stanley get wifi at some point but this is unlikely given the lack of vehicles with even half life left being allocated to them.
