No, no vandalism around bishop. Ever.

Back to the E200s, I find the seats really uncomfortable. No lumbar support and I end up with a sore neck, too. Travelled on one of SNE's new ones on the 36 and they're no better.

I don't like the seats either, not very comfortable for long journeys I don't think

(08 Nov 2019, 3:33 pm)streetdeckfan wrote Normally I lean against the wall, but the only seats in the E200 with legroom are the four priority seats, the one next to the emergency exit which is unusable because the handle sticks out too far and the four up the stairs which is literally a panel of glass to the side

I believe the seats were designed for people to be sat in them, not to lean to one side.....

I've never had any problem with legroom at 5'10", i dont know if its because i sit up straight

It doesn't help that the new seats have so much padding it's like sitting on a bloody yoga ball!

Have you sat on a yoga ball often

(08 Nov 2019, 5:01 pm)streetdeckfan wrote It would definitely be an improvement!

I'm just glad they decided to go with the V3 seats for the StreetDecks, even if I have to put up with only part leather!

Having said that, the most vandalism I've ever seen was someone throwing an egg at the window.

Ever been to Peterlee? My advice: don't.

That's still the plan - for now, at least.

Passenger numbers to be monitored, and, should such a time arise where there has been sufficient growth and double-deck would be warranted, will be swapped for the five E400MMCs.

Unlike the X21 timetable leaflet, there don't seem to be any notes in the X30 leaflet about certain journeys not being Xlines buses.

It seems quite unusual that it’s just a free standing building that neither has a depot attached nor is a high profile city centre location. Did there used to be a depot alongside it at some point?
