The new Streetdecks have been rejected on quality grounds, lot`s of teething troubles. The first one built leaked like a colander at Wrights.

If the streetdecks cant be delivered on time, would this mean a delayed order or could first switch the Manufacturer order to Alexander Dennis. As first now order from both companies.

The only one I can think of is Huddersfield's 60851 due to a fire. 66774 has also been off road for a while so I guess they need some fills and should hopefully be back on the road soon. I don't know about Halifax's though!

Anyone know what's happenned to first Huddersfield 32503/32505/32506 all 3 missing for last two weeks??? Possible repaints and fitting in wifi?? Seems like those b7ls were needed (3 of them) so they could do work on others (3 of them) my guess is as good as yours though!

I do know one had an altercation with a car in the ice recently in Wyke so maybe being repaired ,but there is a distinct lack of blue Huddersfield buses lately.

So no plan on solving chronic double deck shortages at Bramley or Hunslet then, saw a single deck on 50A the other morning and it was rammed and the old tat rolling rounds seems set to continue, the joke of the week was the Yorkshire Post story about making buses more attractive than cars, First live in a dream who’d give up a warm car to sit in a freezing cold 20 year old bus virtually on 32 B7’s on my local route the 40 have saloon heaters that work.
