I regularly use Deptford services which are constantly jerky ( no fault of driver) uncomfortable streetlites. Its a relief when a solar sometimes turns up although uncomfortable if busy. Ive said a few times already those streetdecks off the X1 are not an upgrade for me ( only newer) and I can see them being a bit of a disaster on the 56. Bit of may be proven wrong. I get the uniforms approach of buses in depots but I think Deptford depot is a case of uniformed to far
Percy Main (last 2013*) and Deptford (last 2016*) haven't had a new bus for years now and again are missing out while the same routes are getting the stuff again.
It's not like these depots are running around with junk routes, there's some busy routes here which deserve something - you'd think they'd prioritise both aswell considering Arriva and Stagecoach are both investing (assuming some of the new Blyth buses end up on the 306/308) or have invested in routes which compete against them. The 16/X24, in particular, are wiping out Chester Road and the response is cuts and second hand Streetlite's from god knows where...
Just seems a bit backwards.
*I'm not counting buses which left and returned.
