Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016

(10 May 2016, 3:39 pm)NK53 TKT wrote I had 7615 on an X10 this morning Regent Centre-Newcastle Barras Bridge to avoid the non-existent metro. It vibrated like hell and made an awful noise, I had 1500 on a 52 yesterday and it was quiet for a pulsar, does anyone know what 7609 and Belmont's other VDL deckers to compare it to Blyth's

The 59-plates are a bit rough around the edges, but VDL products have always had a vibration issue, but it's down to the depot to correct it before it gets too bad.  7610 has just had a new engine fitted I think, and has now had it's limiter upped to 58mph.  7609 has had a new throttle system fitted which makes it go like **** off a stick.  However, the only vibration problems I've encountered is with them dropping in and out of gear, which has now been solved.
