However am I right in thinking that a lot of you seem to like the older Wright Renowns but don't like the New Wright Streetlites?
Have Wright gone down market over the years?
Also, with the current Wright StreetDeck Demo, reading comments on here from alot of you.. its doesn't seem to score many points!
How does the Wright Gemini's currently used on service TEN & Angel services etc , compare with the new Streetdeck ?
Do you like the Wright Gemini's or dislike them the same as the New Streetdeck demo?
I've not sampled the new demo's.... however my thinking would be that you need a good comfortable bus that can stand the test of time, especially on longer distance routes, such as the Pronto services X21 Newcastle to Bishop Auckland !
Based on that fact, and comments previously discussed on here.... why have GNE not upgraded the buses on Pronto X21 earlier?
Cheers.
Volvo Gemini's or Gemini's as you say in your post are 1 trillion times better than the Streetdeck, Comfort and Capable wise
At the time the X21 started ( 2011 ) when the Volvo B7s came from London, This route was brand new and so didn't require Brand New Vehicles but now that GNE have seen enough passenger growth to warrant new Double Deckers that's why there demonstrating the two vehicles at the moment.
There also demonstrating to see which vehicle to buy from now until the end of Euro 6.
