The Coast & Country services seem to manage fine as they do with Streetlites, and the Durham Diamond likewise with the Citaros (minus the reliability problems that they're plagued with). The latter services saw massive changes only last October to help with reliability issues with the Stanley-based services. The 8/78 saw new buses in May last year, with customers reaping the benefits that the Streetlites give them. Why remove the Streetlites as the stock for the 8, with passengers expecting the added luxuries that come with said stock, and put Citaros in their place? I hope you'd be able to source the investment for the Citaros to have their seats re-trimmed at the least, and be able to provide a business case to at least make the ''comfortable ride'' come close to the Streetlites for customers.
Why reduce the Stanley-Durham corridor to every 30 minutes? It's a busy section of the 16/16A, with standees at times. Why rebrand the 78? Why even separate the 8/78 from each other?
As for 5391-5394 on the X7. Goodness me.
Actually every 20 minutes.
Personaly 5391-94 would cope fine on the x7 as alike the x3,x4 streetlites do
