(22 Jan 2018, 5:31 pm)Dan wrote I made a post on a bus enthusiasts' Facebook Group earlier, and it's provoked quite a bit of discussion. Many of those who have commented on that post aren't members of this forum, and still stick to their guns that StreetDecks are hideously unreliable, cheap (and so on)... So I'm intrigued to see what sort of opinions members of this forum have in comparison.
My original post on said group was:
Seen the comments on that group when I was adding photos onto it.
As far as the Streetdecks go, not a fan of The Castles Express ones only because I find the ride quality a bit jerky and bouncy even though they are nice inside and comfortable, my none enthusiast other half has the same opinion as I do when it comes to the ride quality as she felt nauseous after coming from Bishop Auckland to Newcastle one time.
Can’t comment on The Angels yet as haven’t been on any yet but I am planning to get a ride on them when I can. Hopefully the ride quality is better on The Angels than The Castles.
I can see where some of the enthusiasts on Facebook are coming from in some way, this being due to The Castles Express Streetdecks having a few breakdowns late last year, creating the perception they are unreliable as I saw what comments on Facebook said. This could be different with The Angels due to having a completely different power unit to what The Castles have. Hopefully the recent engineering work they have had done has rectified whatever was causing the breakdowns.
