Personally I would love to see Optare Versa's, I have never seen a double decker on the 100 (which are needed on most journeys this time of the year) Ive heard its because of the low bridges in the Duston area, Im surprised they havent either -
- Put deckers on the service and informed the 100 drivers to go the route of the 10/10A once crossing the bridges into Gateshead (so they dont hit the low bridges on the other routes you can go to reach the Metro)
- Bought bigger vehciles, maybe the larger Scania Omnicities (The big ones, with loads of wheels, enlighten me somebody, Im not sure what they are called)
- bendy buses, they could have got a few from Stagecoach London, they could run the service, although the 3 stops in Newcastle on the way would need to be altered slightly , maybe not the best idea, but it could of been an option.
Does anybody use the service much, I used it for 4 years, and this time of the year is a nightmare, most journeys are nearly fully seated throughout the year regardless!
What do people think of the 100.
Maybe the 100 will get the next order when stagecoach order some new buses. Ive only ever used it once amd it was packed, least then the current buses can be used to replace the MAN buses in other depots
