Looks nice. Didn't noticed it had windup blinds. Quite surprising at that

It has powerblinds as per London spec. They’re electric just not LED. This was a former Metroline bus but was returned to Optare due to a PVR decrease on the 134.

I didn’t know it was in service yesterday but got a nice surprise when it turned up in Gateshead - I was actually trying to get photos of the new route 58 branding.

Apologies if I've missed it but what's its interior spec (I would guess being an ex TFL use it has wifi and potentially chargers) but no tables etc

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

I'm surprised at that - I guess it's due to the plethora of readily available free public wi-fi across the area

TFL normal spec is bog standard

No WiFi, no charging sockets or plugs, no special seating, leather, high back or anything like that, no route branding

It’s not all bad. To their credit their spec includes a set standard for clear interior signage, iBus information system with PA system for manual driver announcements, separate exit doors for faster boarding & alighting/reduced dwell times, clear destinations displays whether blinds or HD LED screens and simple but easy to recognise livery/logos.

Doesn't TFL spec have actual leg room though?

Or is that just my imagination

Quite rattly I thought once it got going.

Still doesn't seem as quiet as my the Designlines (I loved them!) although admittedly double the size and

I didn't think it was too bad from that video. Certainly not to a Streetlite standard.

It's probably more noticeable without the diesel engine roaring away, but I'm yet to try it out for myself.

I was on one of the X66 Streetlites yesterday (I think it was the corporate one, but not sure) and it was basically rattle free. I took up my normal seat next to the door and I didn't even have to lean against it to make it quiet!
