May also have been out driver familiarisation. The final 4 of the batch of 24 will transfer tomorrow. Green lane was looking a bit full tonight as the buses they will replace haven’t yet moved out!! |

How long it will stay there and whether it will run in service I have no idea. A common complaint about these StreetDecks is that they have four-cylinder engines and consequently are under powered so it should be interesting to see how they cope on hilly and demanding terrain. |
