WrightBus StreetDeck - Discussion/Sightings/Route Allocation (Not PN gossip)

[Tony]

Forgot to answer that above, all after my ex local routes were.

Wrong

94 had new buses 3 years after 529,
71/72 last year

When they are all delivered and on the road all five buses will be on the 9 to go against the mmc so both bus types can be tested against each other on the same route

will the spare mmc be going on x10 or any service from pensnett

I dont get this bit, I understand the logic of comparing vehicle types but isn't that the whole point of acquiring 3301 and putting it on the 9 to see how it fares against MMCs ? How does having another 4 vehicles (Unless they arrive modified) make any distinctions between the types clearer ?

I'm guessing, but 5 buses would give a better sample - where you're dealing with fuel consumption figures in the single figures, and availability figures/maintenance costs, marginal variation across vehicles could result in inaccurate information if only one vehicle is tested (against 22 in this case) - more vehicles would provide more conclusive results and a more sound investment case.

Presumably they'll monitor the performance of the 5 Wrights against 5 specific MMCs.

I'm assuming initial figures are positive from 3301 as they've bought 4 additional buses. 4698 was also a seed vehicle and it prompted an order of nearly 250 buses from ADL.

Assuming they're for the 9 it'll mean on the 9 will be a mix of streetdecks and branded MMC's which by extending that logic would mean more MMC's willl appear on other PN routes not that they don't anyway.

Popped round to PN as haven't been for a while, no sign yet of 3302 -5.

[Dom]

3302 has arrived.

[Tony]

3302 has arrived.

Before  200 entries in the buses to find thread, it won't be in service for 8 days

To await the new month to tax it, sensible!

@Tony, are PN likely to loose 4 buses to make way for these Streetdecks?

I would imagine so probably the older Tridents for example the 4190s batch

I'd imagine a number of systems would need to be installed as well such as wayfarer and CCTV although 8 day window period should allow for everything to make it an NX road worthy vehicle

Registrations are:-

3302 SL16 YPM
3303 SL16 YPN
3304 SL16 YPO
3305 SL16 YPP

Are we likely to be getting anymore of these?

[karl724223]

Here we go  on Facebook 3302 was spotted in Stourbridge yesterday

Depends on if the Brexit makes northern Ireland reunite with southern Ireland.
