(29 Apr 2024, 4:53 pm)mb134 It always makes me laugh when they bring out terms like this. You've had a fire lads, everyone can see it.  

Can guarantee the driver didn't ring for the Serious Thermal Incident brigade.

Even the fire brigade spokesperson confirmed it had been a fire they put out and not a thermal!

The driver and passengers had already been evacuated from the bus before the crews attended the incident, and firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used hose reels to extinguish the fire safely. Our crews left the incident location at 11.19 am.”

Groan.

And, let me guess. The bus was on its way up that bank. The bus is old. The bus is probably not as well maintained as it could be. That bit might be glossed over.

(26 Apr 2024, 10:51 pm)Andreos1 They let a 21 branded decker on to the X10 today
If there's clearly issues at Riverside, GNE need a single uniformed fleet for the X10 & X21 with more muscle than a StreetDeck and with enough rotation so that 6352-55 aren't getting a daily hammering on the X10!

I've said something similar previously. 

The X1 (now X12) and the X10 did just that.
Hard slog up and down the A19, followed by recovery on the slower and easier X1. 

Presumably, operators don't believe in interworking like they did previously. 
However, they do seem to prefer slogging a vehicle to death rather than making the interworking a feasible alternative.

It's ironic that the operators laziness, sees them kill their vehicles. Whereas the exact opposite, would surely prolong the reliability of them.

Having a uniformed fleet doesn't fix reliability though.
