(18 Mar 2019, 8:11 pm)Dan StreetDecks all the rage in Leeds! First have quite a substantial number of them now.
I've been down to Leeds today and actually sampled a 2016 StreetDeck on the First X6 service and also a 2017 E400MMC on the Arriva 189 service, and the StreetDeck was far superior from a passenger perspective.
The StreetDeck had no rattles and enough power to arrive to the destination on time, whereas the E400MMC was badly rattling and one of the windows on the nearside upper deck was wobbling and almost felt like it was going to pop out! My experience on the E400MMC was shocking to say the least: not what I'd expect from a relatively new bus.

Was a rumor that the Sapphire E400's will go on 268/268A but I can't confirm that as fact.
