Streetlites are absolutely crap. I can't understand why they can't go with Versas if Citaros are too expensive! The X1 will suffer as a result, and there will be more Pulsars than Streetlites on!I'm not keen on StreetLites, I rode from Middlesbrough to Redcar on service X4 the other day and at one point I think it jerked into another gear blasting down a duel-carriage way when made me move slightly further forward especially as I nabbed the seat by the fire door for the extra leg room.
Also rode one of the 23 examples between Peterlee and Hartlepool the other week and the ride over some of the terrible roads around the Hartlepool area was horrendous.
Also they do seem to be having problems keeping them on the road, especially Stockton's 5/5A examples.
