(11 Oct 2020, 7:37 pm)streetdeckfan wrote But if they needed 2 less red ones because the X1 dropped by 2, wouldn't there would be spare red ones regardless of the build order and not an extra green one?

(11 Oct 2020, 7:42 pm)reymyster9 wrote Are there any plans to redo the leds on the green streetdecks that were originally planned for the x1? they look quite strange with red leds compared to the ones with the green.

(11 Oct 2020, 7:43 pm)Dan wrote No. Every single StreetDeck has amber-coloured LEDs, which was meant to represent gold.

It's only the ADL Enviro400s which have green LEDs. Again a mistake at the bus builders' end, as these should have been gold too.

(11 Oct 2020, 7:41 pm)Dan wrote They didn't paint any extra - they've just painted them in the wrong order.

The bus that ought to have been green was painted red, and the bus which ought to have been red was painted green. No big deal.

I assume if it transfers over the X21 GNE plate will be put on 6334 to hide the age of it

(15 Oct 2020, 6:09 pm)citaro5284 wrote Aye, you right, it is back.

(15 Oct 2020, 5:49 pm)mb134 wrote Good to see they've gone back to "via" rather than the confusing arrows. Arrows, to me anyway, implied that the service was direct to that location - when this was rarely the case.

(15 Oct 2020, 6:25 pm)Michael wrote There's only 6367 and 6373 left to enter service for the X-Lines X1 service now.

6352 - 6355 to arrive too (E400)

The 9 electric buses to arrive, next month.


Unless anymore have arrived, I'm going by Bustimes.org.

If you look at the windscreen on a StreetDeck it's curved in pretty much every direction and is huge, it must cost an absolute fortune to replace one if it gets cracked.
