(04 Nov 2021, 6:33 pm)Keeiajs I was on 2 ex Saltwell Parks yesterday, and the seats are worn to their last life they desperately need a re-trim, and USB's. If anyone has been on them recently they can agree with me, the state of them are attriocus, if they were at Riverside they would have been Replaced.

You'd hope they'd be on the list for a retrim considering everything else that's a 63 plate has been retrimmed. The Drifters could do with a refurb too whilst we're at it.

I travelled on one yesterday which wasn’t too bad at all, likewise the Drifter.

They will be done, I’m sure, but it’s certainly not as desperate as is being alluded here.

I'd also imagine a new livery especially for the 60, maybe 9/5 too. Hopefully they will be done after the Sunderland & District are done with the 20/Country Ranger, as 60 is the last one to be done for Deptford.

Also, why doesn't the 4's have USB's?

Agreed - absolutely horrific. There are multiple ways to get a poppy on a bus, painting the wheels red on an otherwise blue livery is up there with the worst I've ever seen (realistically, aside from the ghastly appearance, I wonder how many folk will even put two and two together anyway?)

That's what happens when they're aren't all the same age Wink

It's still a shame the StreetDecks don't have the nice plates though
