Hopefully RF doesn't see it!
Speaking of the X10: https://metro.co.uk/2023/02/13/woman-who...-18275190/
Not much reference to it in her twitter feed, but I don't think she was keen on the announcements nor the broken on-board features.
She did say it was posh though!

Wonder whether 6334-7 will be the next non standard lot to be sold on? 6337 has been off since November, and in my experience was never very reliable particularly in the cold - and very fuel hungry - or was it one with the smaller fuel tanks? They seem to have been bit parts at best, and money pits too.
Also surprised to see so many of the fleet brought in for metro flow, some even after repaint don’t appear to be in service for months, or are they on faith school contracts which don’t track, or is the massive influx of new vehicles requiring PSV just too much to cope with on top of keep the rest of the fleet on the road?
If nobody has noticed or if it's been mentioned already and I've missed it, the enthusiasts area has been updated.

She was more bothered by the Arriva X18 no show.
I agree regarding the pointless table lights. They don't actually have any benefit, but the announcements serve a purpose. Easy enough to stick some headphones on id you don't want to listen to them.

(14 Feb 2023, 3:57 pm)DeltaMan The forum is going to go in to Meltdown when the Northumberland line opens. Not because of the obvious Arriva bus service cuts it will generate, but because Roger French didn't wear bog standard trainers. That's priorities for ya!

A few of Consetts VOR buses. 5407 has been sat at the side of the Hownsgill workshops since beginning of Dec. 5461 has been parked here since Nov with missing panel and 5400 has returned from Saltmeadows with newly fitted glass but missing a panel and headlight surrounds.
