(13 Sep 2021, 7:50 pm)lxbical What's up with 6057, is it awaiting parts? Apparently it hasn't been in service since the 14th of June6057 and 6062 now at Consett.
(14 Sep 2021, 1:21 pm)Storx A third spare at Consett I guess, the fact they removed the low bridge on the 78 suggests that they're going to end up on there at times.Still lots of buses to move around I'm led to believe.
Guessing the Streetdecks will be going to Chester Le Street for the 21 / 25 since there's no other deckers for it and The Angel has no spares atm.

So where are 6301-6307 going? Washington?, Wonder what people are going to think about the downgrade for the 47...

(14 Sep 2021, 6:43 pm)Dan Is it really that much of a downgrade?Imo B9s are better than streetdecks.
Buses are of an almost identical spec (WiFi, USB, next stop, high back seats). The only thing that is different is the fact the floors are blue and they don’t have tables…

Anyone know if 8339-8346 will get their seats re-trimmed with USB's & Wifi?
Also I think the 'Peterlee Purples' & 'Drifter' should also get USB's. As USB or USB C(which they should start to change around now really) should really be standard on all buses which was under 10 years old. Aslong as a large parts of there network has routes over 30 mins.
(14 Sep 2021, 6:43 pm)Dan Is it really that much of a downgrade?Will the X5/X15 be getting a temporary downgrade (until bid is confirmed as won) or will they get different StreetDecks?

(15 Sep 2021, 7:42 am)streetdeckfan Tbh, if they removed the tables from the X21, that would probably be the thing that pushed me over the edge into getting a car.
The main advantage for me getting the bus is that I can work while on the go. And, given the pathetic excuse for legroom, I find it difficult to sit straight in the seat never mind use a laptop as well.

(15 Sep 2021, 10:41 am)Ambassador I can't ever imagine working on a public service bus. Train at a stretch but with all the GDPR and lack of secure wifi (unless you use your own) it's just not appealing to me. I use the commute to wind down, stick my music or podcast on and get focused.
Would be quite wary about having a £4k laptop out on public transport too
