Horrible - They are a lot better lookong than the Metrodekka. Just looks like a melted versa
Cheap - Depends on quantity and specs
Unreliable - As far as I'm aware the Streetdecks are one of the most reliable in the fleet...let's hope it's better in the snow than the Citaro's
Plasticy - all buses tend to have plastic seat backs and other plastic components, however I think Wright might of ran out of the hand-carved oak seats and the scratch resistant glass tables
Well...
Horrible - They look nice with the livery on, i will say that... try looking at them without the vinyls.
Cheap - The Castles Express ones i thought were lovely at first but the feel of them just seems a bit cheap and nasty.
Unreliable - One or two are running like a shed, and apparently at least one broke down on Saturday.
Plasticy - I still think the inside just has a cheap feel compared to other buses in the fleet.
HOWEVER if i had to choose between the current B9's and new Streetdecks, it would be streetdecks by miles.
Also has GNE failed to notice the awful crackling noise coming predominantly from the top right corner of the top deck of ALL the current TTX B9's when they are at speed?
