I say if the Streetlites are anything like the B10s, they shouldn't struggle. But knowing they aren't, I don't know, but I'm sure they'll still be in relatively good nick by this time next year.
Only time will tell.
If the Streetlites for the Red Kite and Coast & Country are set up like the Arriva ones down Teeside on the Sapphire Services, then they should be alright, the ones on the 5/5A are fantastic having used the Service from Middlesbrough to Guisbrough and back a few months back when the X93 B9TLs entered Service, I am sure Dan, Jimmi, Tyresmoke and Kuyoyo to name a few members will agree and say something along the same lines as I have.
