Arriva North East: Latest News and Discussion - March 2016

(04 Mar 2016, 11:19 pm)Jimmi wrote I was hoping for a Pulsar last Saturday but got 4662 which I thought wasn't too bad, although I hate how slippery those leather seats are, I was sat in the pushchair bay leaving Carlisle, the bus turned left at a junction and the driver had to slam on the brakes as some idiot in a van was stopped in a keep clear box and the seats offer no traction whatsoever especially in that situation so me and a few other passengers nearly ended up on the floor! Much preferred the Stagecoach Enviro 300 I got from Hexham to Carlisle, high backed seats and free WiFi on offer as well.

Slipperiness was the major issue at first but now I can barely manage more than half an hour sat on one because the leather has worn down so far it's not dissimilar to a bench!
Given the two I'd rather have the E300s even though they seem to be two of the worst ones of the build in the country - there are various other ADL 64 plates that have more guts to them.

Cheers for the info, Scott.
