Do the Black Cats Solo SRs have WiFi or USBs? As if not, that's the only other downside to that allocation.They should not use streetlites on the 9 on Sunday and put them on the X5 , i think it is a bad idea because it is a route what has usbs aswell as wifi and nsa , they will change there mind soon i can gather that because ive had a few drivers say they will need bigger buses for it , if thats the case why does the 56 need deckers on sundays ? It doesn't even need them on sundays imo doesnt get full enough.
Solo's being used on Sunday's on routes that use full size buses during the week ain't nothing new either, Arriva do the same.
