Since the last thread worked well until the incident occurred which blew everything completely away from the discussions happening at the time, i think it may be worthwhile doing exactly the same as what happened with the original 'Whats Annoying You Today' thread and remove the original from a public status into a mod status and have this, brand new, thread instead.

I miss the Primas.
They were the best vehicle I had travelled on.
On the X15 from Morpeth to Newcastle they flew, arriving into Morpeth more comfortable than the current Max E400s and Omni's! On the X20, the Primas always kept the route to time, it was always busy usually filling the entire coach.

Coaches suited the X15 and X20, if we could get new ones, with disabled access (like the Elite-i's at Stagecoach Scotland) they would keep the routes busy with passengers and attract more passengers on the express routes.

Moderation Note:

Although I didn't want to ban gtom, as I rather enjoy the debates he often initiates, I have chosen to permanently ban him.

For the past three days, none of his posts have been constructive to add to the debate and discussion on this forum. Instead, his posts have either been patronising or offensive. These posts are rather out of character, so it saddens me that I had to make this decision, but an end has come to this game.

He has gone down in glorious flames, as he so wished, and may I wish him the best in his life outside of this forum community. I request that this ends here, and posts after this one get back to the topic at hand.

Well, thank you Robert for reviving the thread! Smile

To kick off a bit of discussion, what does anyone think will be the path the B10BLEs go down?

I known it's been established that GNE's will just continue to be withdrawn until none are left by the end of the year, but what does anyone think will be the last one standing? Where will the last Renown-infested depot be?

I'm guessing 4921 at Riverside...no particular reason.

Just a game, no way of knowing for sure! Wink

@Tom - it's a good one. I did enjoy riding it many a time when it was at Chester-le-Street.

@Dan - ...or was it just the fact that it decided to break down every day so it didn't have to face the streets of Sunderland again? #marcused
I'm only joking, you'd be amazed at how well they recovered following transfer to Chester-le-Street. I recall 4907 used to break down on a daily basis and was just generally awful, following the incident near Waterview Park (haven't rode it since transfer to Riverside) it was an absolutely smashing vehicle!

Why do some buses have "Sorry Not In Service" when they're not in service. It's not anything to be sorry about, you can't exactly have a bus carrying passengers into a bus depot?

Wasn't really sure where to put this but...

I was on the Arriva MAX X1 this morning and I overhead a conversation with the driver and elderly female passenger, they were discussing about the StreetLite's used on the service and they both didn't like the StreetLite's, they both said about how they rattle and shake and they both agreed that the old buses on the route were better (I'm guessing they were referring to the Pulsars). Additionally the woman discussed about the amount of times a change of bus has taken place at Faverdale.

See its not just us who don't rate them!
