I feel claustrophobic, there is no room for me to move and to make matters worse I'm sat behind the rear wheel arch so the floor is raised up meaning there is little room for my legs and it is killing my dodgy knee.
As soon as I heard this route was getting StreetLite's I predicted this would happen and sure enough it's even worse than I imagined it would be.
Absolute joke!
I very rarely use the X66 for that reason (And the fact I hate Streetlite's!).

So the journey times will probably be similar on both as it also stops at Dunston Riverside which is annoying.
I use the 49/49A anyway, as I think the Citaro's on them are far better than any Streetlite.
