(30 Jun 2020, 4:17 pm)streetdeckfan Not sure to be honest, it goes under a bridge but I'm not sure how low it is, and IIRC the Streetlites are roughly the same length as the B5s.It's the same bridge the M6/7/8 and 97 go under I think. Can they be allocated a decker.
The fact that they're rebranding one of the Streetlites suggest there's no plans to add it back on to the X66, personally I would prefer them to just bring back the S1 as it pretty much always ran on time since it doesn't get stuck in Gateshead traffic.

Unless they took a different routing...

How long does it normally take for a Mini Bus, Single and double decker to be repainted?

(02 Jul 2020, 3:54 pm)Andreos1 There are a number of factors in this. Things like: the size of the paintbrush, the height of the painter and the number of stepladders available at anyone time can all impact on how quickly they can get it done.
