Appreciate it may only be a couple of journeys but diluting your own premium brand for me is a no no.

Its the same as Sunday, and not having the X-Lines buses out on the route they are supposed to work on.

I'm hoping once the rest of the Xlines buses arrive this may change around with interworkings.

For me its a of a slap in the face for some customers. and for me doesn't make me want to not drive and get the bus into Newcastle if I know on the way home I'm going to have to sit on a bus with less features and the suspension of an old roller coster. 

If its a premium service, keep it premium 7 days a week for all customers - Not just the 9-5 Mon-Fri lot. 

I know there's many counter arguments for this, saving money, less customers etc, but some of these points stand.

Really hope this changes in the future.

I'd imagine the E400s are just as efficient, if not moreso than the vehicles they run instead

As far as I'm aware, streetlites can be upgraded to euro 6

Those Streetlites can't be upgraded.

Would make sense, but doesn't seem "fair" on the routes that justified nice new buses being palmed off with buses ready to be disposed of. Claim what you want about Citaros being nicer than Streetlites, they're certainly no where near as reliable.

Citaros are a nicer ride, but the seats make them unbearable. So I'd happily take a Streetlite over a Citaro!
