I'm sure other's will be along soon.The man is an utter hypocrite. Now with MG gone, I have no doubt that RF's next visit will be more negative.

(20 Oct 2022, 5:34 pm)Andreos1 He is.Yes. His comment about the Arriva livery on the old Trident was ludicrously petty.
But he won't. Still has his GAG pension. Can't put that at risk by slagging them off.

(20 Oct 2022, 6:45 pm)streetdeckfan To be fair, it is rank! But it stands out, so it's doing its job!I don't think so judging by this. https://thetenpercentclub.co.uk/whoarewe.shtml
Speaking of Worst Impressions, is Nigel part of the club as well, or will we see a gradual un-doing of what MG has done?
Will we see route numbers return to the right side?
Will windows get covered back up?
Will games come back to the tables on the X21?

But given the number of Public Inquiries some of them have been involved in, I didn't think i'd want to be part of it either

(20 Oct 2022, 5:55 pm)mb134 His latest post ends up being a somewhat rambling tirade against Arriva: https://busandtrainuser.com/2022/10/20/m...more-38166
Admittedly there are some valid points, I don't like how the MAX branding remains internally after the refresh last year as an example. But then he criticises the lack of WiFi, something which all vehicles on the service definitely provide (and his photo shows...), and the absence of NSAs which I'm sure were present when I travelled on a B9 earlier in the year - hopefully someone will be along to clarify.
There's then the criticism of the livery on the 2 B7 deckers (which definitely both provide WiFi and USB charging, as well as comfortable seating...), which probably does a decent enough job in the summer of making kids go "look at that bus Mum/Dad", and want to travel on it - I'd say maybe more so than a Best Impressions example... I'd get the criticism of it a bit more if it had somehow damaged the brand, but the journey I was on earlier in the year on a B7 was full by Guisborough.
I don't actually believe he made it to Middlesbrough, is any bus not in a Best Impressions scheme actually good enough for him to travel on?
(20 Oct 2022, 7:13 pm)streetdeckfan Bloody hell, I didn't think it was an actual club!

(20 Oct 2022, 5:02 pm)morritt89 What's up with 5369? I had it yesterday on a 60 and it was spot on, quick and warm but then again I quite like Streetlites.Tbf I haven't been on a 66 plate Streetlite however I assume they're all the same, but the 16-17 plate ones rattle like hell, especially that emergency exit. 15 ones not as bad. 63 plate ones in my experience no rattle/very little. But the younger models are horrendous.
The ex Black Cat ones, whilst having a good amount of power (and warm in the winter) rattled and vibrated like mad when idling (some worse than others).

(20 Oct 2022, 7:24 pm)Andreos1 Oh yeah.
They get together and spend the night patting each others backs and slagging non-10 percenters off.
They've even used the font BI use on the majority of their liveries.
It's ironic he complains about out of date info, when his very own website contains out of date info...
