Thanks! I'd say it makes a significant difference in terms of comfort. It also allows some space to place a bag at your feet.

Any sign of Swindon's Streetlites arriving?

Seems to of gone quiet

Four of the seven are no longer in service at Swindon, but there's no indication of where they've gone.

Cheers, hopefully off for a refurbishment

Had an ex First London B9TL on the 309 yesterday. Mechanically, was fine for a 15 year old vehicle, but leg room was terrible!

Apologies for reopening an old chat but seemed most appropriate fit

With the massive GAG Wrightbus order no doubt replacing/displacing stuff from other parts of GAG do we think GNE will get any cascades  next year? (not saying want any as up here we have often been sent the real rubbish but you never know)

Intrigued what peoples thoughts are if think we will get anything- and what that may be?- eg older Streetdecks/Streetlites eg from Oxford (or more likely more London rubbish)

We have quite a lot of 2nd hand rubbish which was starting to show age BEFORE headed North but now is just about clinging on..so youd imagine option may be to replace old 2nd hand rubbish..with slightly "newer" 2nd hand stuff

All depends on franchasing really... a few GNE buses went to GNW before the bee livery
