I've seen an image on Flickr of it with the 'Go' seating moquette.

I'll try and track it down.

The Silver streetdeck? As predicted, it is currently at Brighton and Hove.

I think its just down there for the mechanics to have a look before their purchased examples enter the fleet. Been there for a couple of weeks now so can't imagine its going to be there for much longer.

Any ideas which services it will be used on?

Unless it's been confirmed, what does anybody speculate?

I think those two would be quite interesting trials, possibly compare it to that Gemini 3 demonstrator from Lothian?

What other services that require double deckers are there? (that haven't already been upgraded within the last year or so). Unless, of course, a service is being upgraded to double deck vehicles? Smile

I imagine it will be like 9133 - built to Go Ahead specification and trialled around the Go Ahead sections.
I also imagine it will act as a direct comparison to the Gemini 3

I mean I know this might sound unlikely but here goes.... Is it not likely that it could be bought as an ex demo hence why it's gne spec, therefore there might be some of these decked on order, then it will join them? Like I said Im probably talking bollicks!

I liked the look of the original StreetDeck like the one on trial with Arriva (Midlands?).

Wellsey18 - I wouldn't normally expect a demonstrator to have 'Go' moquettes (except for the Arriva Sapphire Demonstrator) , so, it might be a possibility that it might join (if ordered) more StreetDecks.

I wonder if the Arriva demonstrator will come up here to be trialled on Sapphire routes?

Look at Versa 11.7m 9133 that was on trial a couple of years ago now. That had the 'Go' moquette but was trialled at several 'Go Ahead' divisions before being let go and trialled at Yorkshire Tiger. I imagine that 9119 will be any different despite it already being trialled at Transdev Harrogate on serivce 36.

BIB: 9119 (SN64 CTU) is the original styled StreetDeck, while Arriva Midlands' 4600 (FJ64 ETZ) is the restyled version.

As far as I know, 4600 is a purchased member for the Midlands fleet as the 38 required more vehicles than were ordered in terms of E400s. Of course, it is also effectively a trial to see which should be the vehicle of choice at Euro6 - of course, as Arriva prefer Cummins engines, likely the E400 may edge it as StreetDecks are only being offered with Daimler engine (StreetLites are being offered with both Cummins  and Daimler engines).

(14 Feb 2015, 8:12 am)Dan Two further Volvo B7TL/Plaxton Presidents arrived at Saltmeadows yesterday for repaint into corporate livery:
  • Stanley's 6012 (V312 LGC)
  • Washington's 6017 (V317 LGC)
These have both returned to their respective home depots.

8323 remains at SMR for now, but was due to go into the paintshop this morning.
