It looks to still be going! Currently tracking 30 minutes late on the 19:30 309 to Blyth - think that might be a tad chilly.

The delay - I am told - is due to the fact it was full and standing.

I saw a video posted online last night. Apparently a lot of people made a trip on it simply because it was an open top!

I could not think of anything worse than travelling on an open top bus on a hot day! Give me the shade of the roof any day!

It's alright when you've got cool air blasting down on you like you get on a Streetdeck/B5. The smaller windows also help keep the heat out.

I'd probably agree with you if I was travelling on a B9 or E400

Or if ur on an Omnidekka but I suppose they have windows all the way down the bus. The few times I've had cold air blasting down on me on a streetdeck its been freezing cold already.

Might be permanent, due to the 39 PVR increase I think it needed 1 more, but who knows with the 39/33 interowkring with the silver and graphite what will happen to them another nail in the coffin of the S&D
