RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
I haven't been on one of the new buses yet but I have never had an WI-FI problems with the gemini's when in the tunnel. It is the same supplier so a little strange if there is wi-fi issues with the streetlies. There is the odd Enviro400 where wi-fi seems to be an issue though, obviously they are not going through the tunnel.

I think that StreetLites are comfortable to travel on with decent legroom and bright spacious interiors. I think it helps if they've got Esteban Civic seats as well because I'm not a fan of Pratico seats which I find really uncomfortable. Hopefully Arriva North West decides to order some more StreetLites in the future

OK thanks for that.

I can imagine Arriva will most probably order more StreetLites in future, especially when you consider the Micro Hybrid versions are entitled to increased BSOG payments due to having Low Carbon Emission Bus (LCEB) status.

With care Greenfields and West Vale have never been a problem - Crosville used to send Nationals down there on F14/16s, but I have to say sending buses over the speed bumps on Drake Road puzzles me.

6005 was on the 411s today, this one seems to get around.

They must be confident about the Streetlites then for one to be used elsewhere other than the 487's.

Its already been said that a 487 duty goes onto the 423 so this is a regular allocation.
