The X18 is going back to summer timetable this weekend so does that mean 7413 will be moving back to Ashington? or maybe 7456 instead?

I travelled on streetlite 1607 on Frid night and sat at seat next to emergency door. A mistake as it rattled so much that I moved seats This was a problem on the X1 versions so seems no improvement

A Streetlite on the X3/X3A looked to be having issues this morning on the junction of Marske Lane/Marske Mill Lane. Driver was out of the cab and was (sort of) directing traffic.

Hoping it got cleared before the school run started.

Saturday consecutive X3 and X4s broke down in M'bro bus station. They took a bus off the 62 to replace the X4 but it went out half an hour late, 5 mins infront of the next X4, while there was a two hour gap in the X3s (and an hour in the 62s)!

I've been thinking about this issue more recently (seem as I can no longer escape the StreetLite's), whilst the emergency exit door does rattle, I feel the racket is more down to the door handle rather than the door itself, it's shaking and vibrating like there's no tomorrow.

How similar are the Arriva Streetlites to the Euro 6 GNE versions? I've not yet had the joy of being on Arriva's yet  Blush

Have only been on GNE's Euro 6 examples a small handful of times and not recently but they seem pretty similar (both Daimler engined) except they are the same size as the Saltwell Park examples with ours being configured to seat 40 passengers.

Aside from some of the rattles and squeaks, they actually ain't too bad IMO.

I wouldn't put rattles and squeaks as high on my list for things that decide if people get the bus or not, so I'd have to agree  Wink

Yes, it's the door handle.

Bit of a design fault, really, and disappointing that Wrightbus still haven't come up with a way to fix it. Go North East have done modifications on some examples to include more 'insulation' (tape) on the door handle. This stops all rattling in this area.

The only other difference is that they have stop/start technology - akin to the Angel StreetDecks.

(10 May 2018, 2:36 pm)Dan It is strange that it can be overcome with a crude but simple fix when the makers cannot fix it I remember when the first batch came forX1 we had problems with the bell not being loud enough and the units were changed several times but trouble never really overcome we used to ask for something similar to the ding dong type used by optare on the solo but wrightbus did not see it as a problem

It's not with no warning, though, is it?

Though admittedly there's naff all those 3rd year medics can do about suddenly having to pay for travel.
