Go North East: 2019/2020 Financial Year Order Predictions
Go North East: 2019/2020 Financial Year Order Predictions
(28 Sep 2019, 2:26 pm)streetdeckfan I believe 6332 has spent most of its time allocated to the X21 since it arrived, and has since swapped with 6333 with the rebrand to Xlines a few weeks ago
The 67 plate Streetdecks are far superior to the 15 plates in every way, they're more comfortable, more reliable and the quality just feels better.
Having never been on the Streetdeck on those routes I can't really comment on it, but those routes have similar road quality and hills to some parts of the X21 and the 67 plates cope with those reasonably well
IMO Arriva's E400s is far better than their E400MMCs, The MMCs just 'feel' cheap whereas all the E400s I've been on feel well built. Then again, it could just be because they're owned by Arriva so get the bare minimum done in terms or repairs!
The Unilink E400MMCs I was on down in Southampton did feel better, but I think they were only a week or two old at the time!
The X70/71 have some really hair bits which would really challenge the streetdecks. I remember when they had lolynes on, they would crawl! (And that was just in Sunniside, never mind the proper steep bits)
