Review of the x17 Sheffield service by the infamous Ironsky2.  Been to Sheffield today and there for used the new style x17 buses. First impressions of the bus itself it has a upmarket feel to it with bule real leather seating and has carpeting under the windows with a gold patten on it. The bus itself is basically like the old buses used on this route but more de lux surrounding wise. The driver was on time the new bus driver uniform is more presentable than the other one used for other services therefore an improvement. Overall a good service but one irritating feature of this bus is the TV screen fixed onto the wall next to the stairs it wears thin to see one self ten times on TV I understand its for security but it draws your attention to it during your journey most of the time if we must have a TV at least show a decent film on it!

Is there actually 7 buses not 6. I'm sure I've seen all these ?
VN64 AOA
VN64 AOB
VN64 AOC
VN64 AOD
VN64 AOE, with the dint over the driverside front wheel arch.
VN64 AOF
VN64 AOG

Which one was involved in a front ender ?

[Scimitar]

It seems Bazza (from Boza) is looking more and more like a bus spotter. He knows more than me!!
Seen him sat with his pencil & notebook on Knifesmithgate.......
I know we've borrowed one from Northampton to replace one that had a front end crash, so, theoretically we have 5 on X17's & one spare on 54's.
