The PVR for the 1 and 6 is pushing 30, plus aren't they also supposed to be on the 28 as well.
I bet they are generic coloured spares

I doubt if you will see brand new Street decks in Bradford and other towns unless low emission zones are introduced by the relevant council. What I expect you can look forward to is the buses that need to be removed from Leeds as they will not be LEZ compliant.

Since when is a streetdeck a *luxury*? Mmc single deckers are what are needed in Bradford Please no ADL products please, the Bradford Streetdeck I rode on the X6 last month was considerably more 'luxury' than the squeaking,rattling E400 MMC I rode on the X84. Was definitely more comfortable than Arriva's E400s, both MMC and original also. I can only assume you're talking from a drivers point of view if you think ADL products are better than Wrights. I can only agree that ADL products are prettier.

I can only agree that ADL products are prettier. As someone responsible for the maintenance of E200MMCs I can only agree, on the terrain we operate the Streetlites are considerably more responsive, especially the Cummins Max variants, climb hills a hell of a lot better and do not have the serious suspension component issues for such a new bus. They also go through the bonded windscreens quickly and are riddled with oil and hydraulic oil leaks. The biggest problem is getting ADL out to deal with Warranty work while Wrights are either on site or an hour away Monday to Friday. As for Streetdecks the engine is the problem not the bus itself. You can't have a go at Wrights for something they built to a First specification.

MMC400`s on the X84 have all kinds of issues, seldom are they all out on the X84 with other buses standing in.

Quick check on which Streetdecks have entered service. My observations this week are 35261, 35263, 35266, 35268, 35269, 35273 & 35280. I'm sure there are more coming into service every day, have I missed any currently out? Seem to be mainly confined to the 6 at the moment although I have seen one on the 1 and one on the 28. After what has obviously been a very challenging week I have only seen another three in service this week with 35265, 35267 & 35271 now in service in addition to those above.

There was one out on the X85 today - must have been the 1215 based on the time I passed it by the University.

The green stripes are being changed to red before entering service. 35290 - 35294 had green stripes. 35289 was delivered with red stripes so I don't think there are any more with green stripes.

Is that so that they don't look like too much like Transdev?

Do we actually 100% know that there will be different coloured versions instead of them all being red?
Or is it one of those things that's been said in various places so many times it's now thought to be true

Believe Wright’s branded them wrong hence why most have been changed from Green to red
