Think there is another Streetlite kicking around on the 7 somewhere.

Yeah 1509 was running 15 minutes late at one point this morning, but then ended up on 2s, tbh thinks it was in limp mode as struggled to get up the slight incline near the railway station heading to red hall

I caught it on the 7 home from Durham this afternoon and I did notice it struggling with inclines, even the slightest incline turning into DurhamGate (Meadowfield Avenue), wasn't too bad on flat roads.

Wonder why they don't use the Frequenta spares 1457-60 on the 7 and 1423-8 on the X66/67 if there are insufficient Max's?

Because 23-28 are the new solos in the eyes of the senior management. 23-28 are officially for Frequenta 7 because of an agreement between arriva and SBC regarding the NSAs.

The Frequenta spares *1456-1460 go on the MAX routes when a MAX bus is unavailable simply because they have WiFi on board just like the MAX spec.

Your Welcome

But the X66s are also supposed to have NSAs? And the X66/67 isn't a Frequenta service.

Thought it could have been coming in to do the 0850 X93 but if it was it had changed over to 7425 by the evening.

Also yesterday 1511 on 5/5A, and 1470 on the 5s by the evening at least.
