(Yesterday, 12:31 pm)LVK 404L wrote None of 6308-6314 out on X20s today. All streetlites bar one decker 6089.
Serious point here.
I know the B5TL's are far from perfect...but considering StreetLites (Cummins) handled the 45/46/47 okay, would they not be better doing this if the Cobalt's end up with the Angel StreetDecks.....
- 6101-07 - X20 (keep in corporate as could also be used on 56 if needed)
- 6108-15 - 16/16A
- 6116-17 - Spares (TBD)
- 6308-14 - X45 (PVR 5) + 2x spare
The X-Lines blue undercoat would be perfect for some MetroCentre XLines branding and they'd only be on the road Mon-Sat with E400MMCs doing the Sunday boards as now (whatever interworking pattern that is).
Would also help Consett out massively not needing to throw ex GAG/London stock out on the X45 or be short of low height deckers for the X30s/X70s.
Could also be upseated too (with tables removed) which would come in handy on matchdays or busy shopping periods at the MetroCentre!
