(02 Sep 2022, 9:36 pm)Unber43 As it's been a year will the 65 get interior branding I noticed it was missing when I was in Durham earlier?


I’d imagine this would be classed as ‘titivation’ and be branded ‘a waste of money’ on this forum.

The 65 has clearly been a success whether that is due to branding or not is debatable however if you do the exterior you might aswell do the interior.

Don't how you can say the 65 has been success when it's down to hourly like it always has been minus the Peterlee - Seaham and Peterlee - Durham routes (forgot the number and cba to find them) which have been scrapped altogether which made it every 30 minutes for most people.

They wouldn't cut a service if it's successful especially to hourly which is infrequent.

8339-46 are the same age as the Drifter so would imagine they will be refurbished same time as them

I don't think the Drifters will be the drifters when they get refurbed. I think they'll be moved onto the X20, with 1 or 2 in Charcoal Spares

Any other buses getting refurbs? The last ones that got refurbed I think was the Sunderland & District Berries Optares. Any Drifters/Ex-Saltwell Parks or any other versa's etc getting retrimmed and or USB's installed. I really hope the Drifters get USB's soon.

Have the Angel StreetDecks had any work done to the suspension?
I'm currently on 6320 and it feels much smoother than I remember them being!

So I was told this morning that 7157 is going for a repaint. Any ideas for livery?

It was involved in an incident which meant most of its nearside pannels had to be replaced, It's due to get its vinyls on next week  Smile

I wonder whether many more vehicles have been refurbished and given the red seats recently.

Some vehicles from 7 or 8 years ago which came with leather seating may be due for refurbishment by now.

The Drifters/Ex-Saltwell Parks still need a refurb before them.

I highly doubt they'll be taking the leather out any time soon.

The seats on those 7-8 year old buses look in better nick than the StreetDecks/Enviros with the moquette/leather combo!
