On 6156 on the X21 on Wednesday and it appeared to have got stuck in reverse, leaving Eldon Square. The driver did his best not to swear then adjusted his wing mirror. Sticky brakes, too.
But how comes we don't hear anything about Washington's StreetDecks which are the same batch as 6356-63?
Also with the exception of the X21 which I've argued enough about in the past, the 21 is no harder than any of the Blyth work that Arriva uses DB300's on. The 21 and 308 also both had Volvo B5LH's allocated at one point too!
Must be an engineering issue, not necessarily the staff's fault though!
