(05 Apr 2024, 9:36 am)Arcticrossy92 Just had to get a bus after dropping car off for MOT, first time in 5 years and I have to say 6148 shouldn’t be anywhere near frontline service.
Interior is a disgrace, it was very dirty and the less I say about the smell the better.
Whilst this bus is more than likely being withdrawn in the coming months, it should still be cleaned at least.

(05 Apr 2024, 3:36 pm)Ambassador Yeah the Omnidekkas are awful inside - weird damp mixed with engine fuel smell. Excellent for legroom - which is handy as you don't want your knees anywhere near the front of the seat back. Awful image for commuter travel when they whack them on X39.

Vykings were decent, so were the Loynes atleast in my expierence, the Tridents were much better than some of the OmniDekka, i suppose when the buses are at 20 years old its expected i dont think the Tridents lastest even 15 that was when GNE were a decent company
(05 Apr 2024, 7:20 pm)Andreos1 Often wondered if it was an ELC kinda thing.
Didn't ride the Vykings too often to notice, but the Tridents were notoriously foisty.

(05 Apr 2024, 8:47 pm)Storx They were just built crap, the Cityzens at Blyth were awful for leaks everywhere and the Mylleniums (think that's how it was spelt) were falling apart.
The DB250's had a nice Voice retarder though mind, just a shame they were ruined by the god damn awful Urban 90 seats.

(10 Apr 2024, 8:26 pm)busmanT Which fleet numbers ?? Is it all 10?
Just came back from the Metrocentre and whilst walking across the bridge over the bus station I noticed one of the Red Kite deckers driving round with a missing real panel part (rear nearside bottom corner).
Whilst this doesn't impact on the operation of the vehicle, I wonder what impression this sets to potential passengers.

After a night at friends, I took the 28 into town from Beamish and had the pleasure of 8326…
I think we genuinely rolled back going up Long Bank, passengers genuinely applauded when we passed Rwvensworth Golf Club
