H3301-H3305?

Apart from looks, the new Hydrogen Streetdecks have hardly anything in common with 3301-3305 !

I'm told the Hydrogen Streetdecks will be body numbers AT276-AT295, according to a friend who has contacts at Wright.

Having been to Cornwall this week, I noticed that first kernows Enviro 400 MMCs had tables on the upper decker.

Would NX have tables on new buses or is it not suitable for city services?

tables mean less seated passengers so I doubt it

Blackpool tried tables in an urban environment and had nothing but trouble with vandalism with them

I thought that as well, my problem with tables on buses is the bigger chance of travelling backwards

I can't see the need to be honest.

Certainly not on most routes that NX operate, which people may only be travelling short distances on.

They may be more useful on longer interurban services though, on which people may be travelling for longer, which is presumably why First Kernow specify them.

I've seen enough graffitti and knife-etchings on the backs of seats to know what would happen if there were tables on NX buses!

Didn't their newish double deckers have phone charging points on them removed as well?

Stagecoachs Enviros used on X2 from Liverpool to Preston carry local passengers and school children but there is no damage to tables.

East Coast Buses 29xx Geminis have tables and I've even seen school children sitting at tables chatting. These are some of nicest buses to travel on in the UK allowing taller passengers to enjoy the additional legroom at tables. A recent trip on picturesque route 124 from Edinburgh to North Berwick was even better by getting a table seat!

There's one visiting every garage so they could just be referring to that.

Surely you been using this forum for long enough to listen to rumours from drivers... Only vehicles confirmed this year so far are the 20 hydrogen streetdecks

Next batch of new coaches for WA have now been diverted to Edwards.

I think WB and AG should get the next EV batches so that they can withdrawn some g1s and Alx400s
