X1 could do with another 5 StreetDecks atleast to boost it to every 12 mins and possibly compete with the 71 from Houghton-Seaham or various other extensions which could be done from various parts of the network.
8 Country Ranger is another service whcih constantely suffers from breakdowns, seems everyday with a PVR of 6 there are between 2-4, I know GNE only brands what they need but really they should be branding some spares too when they do the repaints, atleast 1.
But really there are well over 150-200 buses which need replacing
Really the 34 should be getting nothing better than an ex-London bus.
But today the allocations at Washington have been attricous not a single 6301-07 StreetDeck on the 50, meanwhile there are 4-6 X1's on the 50, like what on earth are they doing.
Aye Washington is a bit of mess lately mind, early Streetdeck's never seem to be the most reliable things either regardless to company. Awful vehicles in terms of aging tbh. It's why they need something newer imo and it seems they've got some for the contracted stuff.
