Cannock Garage

Well over 150 Streetlites a year have been supplied to all of the groups except Stagecoach from 2013 on.  The only group not buying are Stagecoach who don't buy Wright products of any type.  Seems strange to me that so many companies have been conned into buying crap if Bob's frequent posts about how bad they are correct.

I think you are both right in a way about the Streetlites particularly. I drive them regularly and think they are shocking buses to drive and our 2 year old examples seem like they are pushing 15, I'd much rather have an Enviro or even a Solo. However, it does seem when speaking to people on the engineering side that they are reliable buses with good fuel economy so for that they will be popular with bus companies. Equally, the related StreetDecks are lovely buses to drive so I would not say that Wright products were any less well built than previously, it just seems the Streetlite is better for companies than they are for bus drivers!

Theyre crap to ride on...slow...noisy...jerky...seemingly impossible to pull up smoothly

Arriva say it is at Cannock for engine rebuild which is why you don't see it.

Certainly not at Hinckley

[Bob]

Why would they bother rebuilding an engine on a bus so knackered and time expired?

[Busman Jamie]

I'd not realised it was at CK, apologies for the misleading information

[mark114]

Thank you so much Bob for the info at least now I will just have to wait a little longer to see it well hopefully

Thank you again

[mark114]
