Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2017

(28 Jul 2017, 7:30 pm)mb134 wrote I'm struggling to understand the issue with double deckers on the route as it is? The route is clearly profitable enough with them operating it. 

The X18 runs with double deckers in Northumberland, on far more challenging roads, and gets by just fine for the vast majority of the time - and when there is an issue, it isn't something a single decker would be able to deal with any better.

I`m also a little confused at this as well

If the the roads are narrow,then surely a 10.8m (or around that) E400 would be an easier fit than a 12m Pulsar or Streetlite,as long as theres no trees to damage the top deck. Are E400s any wider than the Pulsars/Streetlites?
