Re the Open top. I’m not sure if it’s a weather decision or not but either way the rain was far less than forecast.
If it was weather, it’s a really strange call as it’s never that busy that the covered part of the top deck and the lower deck couldn’t be used and let’s be honest…no other operator would dream of doing this. Every major and non major city keeps its open tops out in bad weather.
Tho judging by bus times 6994 looks to have expired, another triumph for the engineering and planning teams
Exactly this!
Plus if you wanted to make the argument for taking the open topper off because it's a bit wet then shouldn't it be replaced with the best vehicle you have?
After all, these punters are paying a premium to be driven around Shieldfield, Ouseburn, and Gateshead.
