Nope something is definitely wrong as 8298 has past on a timetabled Short 88A to Jarrow, 1 of them was not timetabled to terminate short at Jarrow.

My opinion of more Streetlites isn't family friendly.
(04 May 2016, 7:00 pm)Adrian I don't think the Streetlites are too bad, now that I'm used to them. They're not an enthusiast friendly bus, but it seems that the majority of customers seem to like them? We'll see how 9101 does, but it's an ugly looking thing!

We'll see how 9101 does, but it's an ugly looking thing!I find them hit and miss really, it depends on what route they are on, the road surface and how it is being driven. Possibly the best Streetlite I've been on is Dales & District's WF example MX62GUG. I didn't mind the Coast and Country example I recently had on the 15 to Consett, a big improvement on the usual Presidents. Some advice I'd give is don't sit next to the emergency exit door if you hate rattles.

I've sampled 3 red kite examples on Monday and Tuesday.
They all rattled badly.
Ride quality was poor.
Kangerooing gearbox on 2 different vehicles, suprisingly I didn't end up with whiplash.
The lights were dimming and brightening every time the driver removed or added pressure to the accelerator.
The next stop announcements got confused on the approach to Metrocentre saying the bus was arriving at Clayton Street, the bus was heading to Consett, the NSA then stopped working altogether though I could only assume it got off and boarded a Red Kite heading to Clayton Street.

(04 May 2016, 7:02 pm)JP6004 Yes the colour doesn't do it any favours. Saying that, didnt they have a white one on extended trial a few years back? That wasn't the prettiest of things either

Does anyone know how many buses tend to be used on the DFDS service. I've only ever seen 2 in use parked behind each other near Central Station. Therefore having 4 branded seems over the top?
Having said that I don't know what days are busiest,I'm may have just noticed quiet days.
