Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2017

From moment one, it was an improvement. I was expecting double-decker Streetlite, but I was glad to find comfortable back seats. I noticed the lack of a monitor, although I prefer the monitor NSAs, it's hardly a complaint that it was lacking extra visuals.

The ride felt a lot more solid than what the current B5LH's ever offered, as well as the 16 plate Streetdecks. It felt like a premium ride, not just cheap plastic covered up to act like so. The stop/start tech was also a lot more fluid, it was hard to tell when it had cut out or was running.

A sound quality of journey. I don't like the rear adverts, it doesn't fit on the rear cosmetically, nor is the point of it clear. But I gather these won't last forever irrespective of the negative feedback on here about said adverts, and it's safe to assume that if the only major concern of a bus is to splash a bit of paint on, then the company hasn't done too bad!

The advantage of the advertisable features and the eco-friendliness make it more than justifiable to the customer and the operator.

Well done from me.

What BHP / Torque do these Streetdecks have then compared to the Castles Express examples unless they're the same?
