Is that because they've got to add 15 minutes to the running time so the Streetwrecks can cope!!!

I don't see why people can't just say Streetlite and Streetdeck rather than substitues. I don't know whether it is done in an attempt to gain popularity but it certainly isn't funny. Infact, i think that the Streetlites handle the routes that they are on very well and aren't shite at all as people suggest.
(14 Jan 2016, 12:54 pm)Jimmi Funny, I was in Bishop Auckland yesterday afternoon and 9119 arrived back roughly on-time. In fact I was in Newcastle the other week and it arrived in Eldon Square from Middlesbrough on service X10 around 5 minutes early!
Is it just me that is sick of hearing some of this StreetWreck garbage? They are no worse than the current mix of Pronto branded Presidents, in fact at present if I am using the X21 I would rather have 9119 than a President as it has a slightly higher seating capacity, I find the seats more comfortable and it will get me there. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't exactly excite me when I ride it but they serve the purpose of getting me from A-B, I am actually looking forward to the StreetDeck's arriving for the X21 as they should be a nicer place to be inside than the current Presidents and the free Wi-Fi will distract me from how it performs on the A1(M), not sure I'm looking forward to more e-leather seating though.

(14 Jan 2016, 1:57 pm)Andreos1 Some people like them. Some don't.
Just like many other buses out there, they split opinion. Life would be boring if we all agreed.
Until their is a dictat that states we are to call them by their official titles, then if people want to call them that, let them call them that.

(14 Jan 2016, 2:17 pm)S813 FVK I appreciate that people son't like them but there is no need to replace part of the name with something else because of this. I don't know about anybody else but i certainly don't like reading 'Streetshite' and 'Streetwreck' every time a subject involving them is brought up on the forum.

(14 Jan 2016, 3:30 pm)GX03 SVC Nor do I.
I can understand a couple of issues with the StreetLite, from a customer point of view, where they're cold in the winter and boiling hot in the summer.
I've never had any problems with the StreetDeck, when has it broke down exactly, did it break down on the TTX, Pronto, TEN...?! No, apparently it broke down on the 18 - which was later confirmed at bulls**t.

(14 Jan 2016, 1:17 pm)Jimmi I imagine it is partly down to wanting to achieve popularity of some sort, as many enthusiasts don't seem to like them. I have sampled most of the routes StreetLite's operate within the region, even the Dales & District services 55 and 70 and I have found that they have performed well on every route I've had them on. Some hate them simply because of the noise the engine makes.
I don't mind e-leather however in my opinion they are nowhere near as comfortable as the fabric seats in the likes of the Volvo B9TL's.

Being serious, the Streetdeck is not a bad bus, its just that the Enviro400MMC was seen by most of us who travelled on it as a better vehicle and more suited to a long distance express route. It's just that Go North East seem to have a thing against ADL. Also the new Citaro, like the one trialled by GNE and Weardale, is undoubtedly a better bus than a Streetlite, but whilst the Citaro is probably as economic to run, it's more expensive than Streetlites.

Although the Streetdeck isn't a flying machine like the E400MMC and B9TL, it doesn't mean that they will be unreliable heaps of scrap in 3 years time. Mercedes have a good engineering track record and the Citaros are still going strong. They only have a 5 litre engine and I know that the weight is less and although the extra weight will be an implication on the Streetdeck, they might prove themselves to be good workhorses despite being a tad slower than other deckers or just the same depending on the setup. Alot of the faults which might've occured wuth the Streetdeck could be applied to other Wright bodied products. I was on 6105 one morning when the fire alarm warning system went off for no obvious reason.
