I think it's more likely that a new order will be placed for the 7. There are a few runs that require double deck capacity, but don't expect all 11 Pulsars to be displaced.
Case of wait and see with the Streetlites but I've been told they should be ok. I drove 1550 back from Middlesbrough to the depot last week and it seemed ok, but wasn't massively impressed. 3 more arrived today from Thorntons, giving us 8 so far. The other two should arrive before the end of the week, and maybe if Thorntons can crack on with 1512, it may also be brought down.
Our launch will be in Middlesbrough town centre (near BHS) on Monday, between 1200-1330... I'll be there and be nice to see a few of you there too We'll have a Streetlite there (fully branded of course!) and Princess Kate of course will be helping us to launch them, maybe even Prince William and George will put in an appearance!
Do you think passenger numbers will grow with the introduction of the streetlites?
