X9 | X10 - Acquisition of interdeck coaches from Oxford Bus Company
(02 Sep 2020, 12:19 pm)streetdeckfan My camera is 'broken' so I don't even have it on. I was just sitting in bed because it's far too hot in the office. I've had the windows open since February and I don't think it's dropped below 26c.Lucky for some!
I wonder how much the temporary vinyl cost them, I'm sure it's a lot bigger than it looks
not as much if it's only for 4 vehicles(02 Sep 2020, 12:19 pm)streetdeckfan My camera is 'broken' so I don't even have it on. I was just sitting in bed because it's far too hot in the office. I've had the windows open since February and I don't think it's dropped below 26c.Lucky for some!

Is the path wide enough at the Newgate Street stop to accommodate the wheelchair lift on the Levantes?
(04 Sep 2020, 2:56 pm)cbma06 What’s the stopping changes in Peterlee when the coaches arrive for the x9/x10?, unless there using the bottom bus stand where national express and holiday buses depart from?Boro bound services are now going to use Stand H.

(05 Sep 2020, 8:10 pm)ne14ne1 People seem to love whinging about change before they give things a chance, whether it’s the switch to coaches, or a change to road layouts for example. Most of the time I reckon they do it for the likes or attention or to try & be funny or they just have nothing better to do. It must be so tiring being negative & miserable about everything. Leave em to it.How can they moan? They only seat 5 less than a StreetDeck with tables...... And they'll be a hell of a lot more reliable than a standard double deck bus!

Wish I could go out and photo these, but sadly stuck in hospital until October after breaking my femur mid August on top of the exsisting dislocated knee injury in the same leg.

It's physically impossible for me to sit straight on a StreetDeck because of the lack of legroom, it's the main reason I always sit at the table. If I have to sit at a normal seat, I sit twisted with my back against the window

(07 Sep 2020, 2:38 pm)mb134 If the layout is similar to that on the Stagecoach operated examples it should be fine - I'm on one at the moment, sat behind the stairs, and I still have about 6 inches of space in front of my knees. On the next one I'll sit somewhere directly behind another seat and edit the post, but from memory it's absolutely fine.I think GNE are upseating theirs, not sure what that consists of though

(06 Sep 2020, 10:10 pm)streetdeckfan Last I heard was the 6 cylinder StreetDeckIf that's the case would make sense using a coach as a, spare on a coach route. Surely keeping some levantes as spare would make sense. Especially now that the 65/66/17 reu levantes are all spare (at the minute don't know what will be spare when Nat Ex return to normal times. Only afew levantes are required at peaks for extras of arriva's 1/2/308 which only need a minority and won't be permanent so when they're gone all the B11/Levante 2s will be spare.
