First Bus have had a fair few of there Streetdecks converted across various divisions,
I agree that our Streetdecks should be converted, the X-Lines Green/Red batches would be perfect to replace the B9's on the 307/309.
The Angel examples would be an ideal conversation for Tyne Valley 10's/12 with the 16 Plates forming spare EV's Fleet covering all services that are EV operated.
Aye it's the sort of thing I was thinking aswell but maybe thinking the 51/52/93/94 type services then do a big shout about how they've electrified most of Gatesheads routes with the 21, 53, 54 and 58 already being done.
It's sort of PR nonsense they put out, must be massive savings aswell as B9TL's running around on local services seem economically, not ideal - but I could be wrong there.
