I can tell you now the Streetdeck buses (not streetdeckers eh Citaro5284) have performed very very well so far.
Monday all 7 ran all day without a problem
Tuesday 2 were taken off for around an hour each for Wrights to check something, also 6038 did one run whilst Wright did a minor repair at Crook
Weds All 7 ran all without any problems
Today All 7 have ran all day without problem.
The timetable is much much better and 99 percent of buses have done the round trip and arrived back in Bishop on time.
The heating is very good and everything is working on the buses as it should and drivers are very happy.
I can tell you now (Fact) NONE of them have broken down
The only downside is we would like them to do 56mph not 50mph.
As for 6035 , Bradley towed it from Crook direct to Saltys on Wednesday morning with gearbox probs.
All in all I think the company have got it just right for the X21 this time round
