There's still a handful of T reg ALX300s that need to go, as they're not DDA compliant. I think Jan 2016 is the deadline for those?

Hi,
Quick question, I've always been a bit of an ALX300 lover - for some reason I think the lights look like eyes. lol
What is the 'deadline' for these ALX300s to go? I don't mind travelling to Newcastle, Sunderland, Stockton, etc, I'd just love to ride a few more before they get the bullet.
Thanks,
Marcus

The 54/06 reg ones should be here for a while, as I think they are DDA complient.

Brilliant. Thanks Tom!
I'll check the fleet lists to see where I can pick some of these up.

Looks like Stockton are having problems cleaning the exterior of their buses too. Couldn't believe the state of some of the new E300s.

The Sunderland ones I observed today were fine, but pretty much all of South Shields' looked like they hadn't been through the wash.

I know sometimes if the temperture goes below freezing, we do not put the buses through the wash, mainly because it makes the depots like a skating rink.

Citaro is correct there. Also the small point that 27157-81 are the last vehicles in the depot to be refuelled and washed, as they apparently take longer to refuel than the MANs.

Couldn't believe the state of some of the new E300s.The buses were dirty because they weren't washed on new years eve, not because of the temperature but because they wanted an early finish.

I expect you'd expect an ambulance/fireman to come out if you needed one?

It might be worth your while addressing mrnut85 with that question, as he is more likely to know than me (given that he is a driver at said depot). I certainly don't know everything!

Not sure atm.
I'm hoping Sunderland get more gas buses this year but it seems unlikely =(
