I like the two tone blue, the Red Arrow brand impressed me, despite the advert boards.

This one looks set to do the same...

(09 Feb 2016, 10:51 pm)S813 FVK Could this suggest more Omnidekkas then since they seem to be leaving a gap?

It could be, since Dan mentioned another bus has arrived with a different fleet number.... unless hes trolling us.... Wink

Not sure if Brighton has got any new buses so far this year?

The bus in the photo arrived yesterday - hence the "Keep up, folks" remark! Taken 40 hours for it to surface!

It does not carry one of the fleet numbers that Bazza guessed.

Not normally one to bother with praise etc but lately there's been a new (well new to me) Irish fella driving on the 21. He has to be the most friendly chirpy helpful driver I've ever met. He's raised the standards of friendliness on  the 21 by a billion percent compared to the usual angry lot!

I was even going to email in but I'm never convinced the feedback gets through to the drivers.

I agree the blue looks good. Refreshing change from the standard of one block colour with branding applied on top. Looking at Streetdecks already in the UK, the livery seems to 'make or break' them in the style department. The bold angles of the front end need a livery to match

So what's the reason behind the fleet numbers for the DD jumping from 61XX to 63XX?

(10 Feb 2016, 9:36 am)JP6004 So what's the reason behind the fleet numbers for the DD jumping from 61XX to 63XX?

Because its a New Type of Vehicle in the Fleet so strating fresh in a sequence ( 6301 up ) will make it easier to identify Vehicles if further orders of the Streetdeck are ordered.
Saying that above, I wouldn't be surprised if this Streetdeck is numbered 6301?

More Omnideckers for the 61xx series maybe?
Any additional aquired deckers could then continue into the 62xx.

I was wondering if this new batch would start off the 3xxx series again, but I am guessing they're waiting for that to be cleared first.

The eagle-eyed enthusiast will also note the backwards facing seats on the upper saloon in that photograph, where tables are fitted, similar to the ADL Enviro400 MMC which was on loan.
