I would have hoped for some Olympians too, because Stagecoach said in a tweet that all of their shuttles were to be operated by double deckers. I initially thought that they could put some of the R-reg Alexander-bodied examples out on their shuttles, but seeing as they have quite a few E400s and possibly the Tridents from Stockton; that might not be so, there could be a contractual requirement that specifies low-floor vehicles.

(24 Jul 2015, 5:19 pm)Michael wrote Does that include the Omnideckers?

(24 Jul 2015, 5:09 pm)Dan wrote A large number of double-deck vehicles from Riverside, Chester-le-Street, Stanley and Percy Main are on loan to Deptford at present and should return on Sunday night after the Airshow is finished.

In the past I think Deptford has primarily operated the A1 service with its own fleet of vehicles, but I think this year we will see a bit more variety on this service...

From the main transmission?

(24 Jul 2015, 5:55 pm)Dan wrote This is by no means all of the vehicles in use but I can confirm the following are all at Deptford (or now out on Airshow shuttles):

Riverside's 3966, 3967, 3970, 3971, 3972, 3973, 3974, 3975.
Chester-le-Street's 6024
Washington's 6017 and 6028

Supposed to be good luck at the end of the day.

You can be stuck next to Seaburn Metro for 19 minutes owing to the traffic, never mind getting any where further than that!

E400: They are suppose to be collecting it on Monday from Saltmeadows.  It has got to go to Chester over the weekend to be cleaned, ETM base removed etc.

Streetdecker - not sure sorry

(25 Jul 2015, 7:14 am)DaveyBowyer wrote This is what they should do:

E400 MMC: Credit Card Bill to ADL and get some on order.

Streetdeck: Send it to Alpha

(25 Jul 2015, 7:21 am)citaro5284 wrote Hell of a credit card limit at roughly £200k a bus.

(25 Jul 2015, 7:24 am)Michael wrote So if Davey still wants them on the X1.... 

16 x 200k = 3.2m so 3.2m on 16 E400's.....

How much is the streetdecker?
