Go North East have been able to get a fairly good idea of their performance based on this, including driver feedback (6332 seems to be the favourite bus for all of the Crook drivers!)

So allocating 6333 alongside 6332, as well as two brand new StreetDecks, should greatly assist reliability.

As a passenger, 6332 is my favourite to get (mostly because of the bins!), in fact, if we pass it on it's way to Tindale from Bishop, I'll actually get off in Bishop and wait for it to come back up.

It's a lot more comfortable than the Castles Express branded Streetdecks, which on a 2 hour journey is important

But if they're allocating two of the Angels and two new Streetdecks, why not replace all of them, surely that would be much better for reliablilty.
