Oh dear how selfish of them to take ill and inconvinent you, some people cannot help it if they suddenly become ill.
(26 Nov 2019, 12:16 pm)streetdeckfan I've had most of those things happen while I've been on the bus.
The best one was with some drunk youths (must have been 12 or 13) and one managed to be sick in 3 different places on the 45 then was adamant that he hadn't been. Or when a dog 'soiled themselves' on the X66 and the owners just got off and left it on the floor.
The most inconvenient one for me was when I was going to see a friend off who was leaving for 6 months and somebody 'decided' that would be the perfect time to get ill on the 10!

(26 Nov 2019, 7:01 pm)BeachBoy99 Fair enough, the 12-year-olds being drunk and the dog owners walking off after their pet had a shit on the bus is ridiculous; however, people don't randomly decide to chunder on the 10 for the sake of disrupting the service. Kind of have some respect there – they might have been on the way to work and their dickhead boss wouldn't let them have the shift off. You don't know.
When I was in college last year, I went on a trip to London and had to be at the campus for 9 but my bus was late because of all the students getting on and I nearly missed the coach from the college. You can't just complain for reasons like that.
Just saying. Nothing against you or anything and I didn't want to upset you.

(26 Nov 2019, 8:42 pm)thetravelman Are the Versa’s likely to be a permanent replacement for 710 - 714, or just temporary until other vehicles are sourced?

Don't think sending buses up Lambton Avenue is doing the vehicle any favours like, the hill is nortoriously steep and more often or not vehicles have to stop part of the way up for either passengers or to let traffic in the opposite direction pass.
(26 Nov 2019, 7:32 pm)ne14ne1 Yup me & a friend said the same. I can completely appreciate what they did, its just I like clean modern designs, so I wasn't going to like this retro/heritage look. Just down to personal taste.

Streetlites have handled the routes well enough for 4 years and if it wasn’t for the rattles they probably would get such a bad name from drivers (IMO).

(27 Nov 2019, 9:21 pm)streetdeckfan Without trying both out, I personally think the Streetdeck would be a better fit than the E400 for the Consett routes, the E400 is perfectly good, but the low height upstairs is enough for me to not like travelling on them

(27 Nov 2019, 9:23 pm)S813 FVK I imagine you'd probably have the same complaint about the low height Streetdeck.
