Speaking from a Hull operator. Massive upturn in kids using the services. However also a massive upturn in incidents. We’ve had assaults the lot. I for one and most of the depot are looking forward to the scheme being over. I feel bad for the genuine kids using it. However for the most...

From our internals

Yeah true. Tbf we’ve got that much going on I don’t even know what day of the week it is haha 1786117707 Latest

No idea but they were wanting banksman to do a 1400-2400 shift so must be out

Private event for media and local dignitaries ect. Work will be done to interchange but isn’t ready yet. Directors came last week and pretty much said sort a plan out, we need them on the road. We will require banks man for reversing on 1&2 as it is blind to incoming vehicles. So initially...

Yeah if I were to guess I’d imagine 22s will go for scrap along with the early 19s. Not sure where that leaves 19541/64 I’d imagine to scunny or somewhere. Think we will keep our 24/27/28’s. Unsure on midis as the 60’s can do the routes we use 36/37s on. However feel like we will lose 107s...

I’d imagine they will get them in time 1786091014 Stuff will leave just don’t know if it’ll be straight away. We’re managing at the moment and not dropping runs due to shortage but obviously no schools/colleges to contend with

nobody seems to know what’s going on tbf. Whether anything will go anywhere for a week or so whilst they bed in. However we are very short of space in Foster St, so with the other electrics coming back from Scunthorpe something will have to give. In terms of scrap, 22s and the early 19s will...

1785938931 Just released

Fleet number can be changed by a supervisor on the machines. Several times I’ve swapped a bus in Scunthorpe, they’ve swapped ticket machines over and not changed the fleet number so it will take wrong. EG I went to Scunthorpe in 26173 Came back in 27190. However they swapped the machines as...

Like I say I think the plan is for most of them to do the st Mary’s contract

Believe it was just the same as 773/5. When they’ve had their inspection they’ve found something that goes beyond what a drivers defect check would and it’s not economically viable to repair with the impeding electrics. Last few times I have driven 22756 the suspension has been shot. Dropping...

Correct we are meant to be getting a number of 19’s from Scotland for the st Mary’s contract. 22756 scrapped. E10’s technically Mansfield’s but on loan to us until they get their new site up and running and I believe we are due some E12’s next year.

Normal colours still. Was off the road for gearbox repairs. However might end up back off the road with the ways it’s going. Did the 1630 111 on 29th only got as far as kingswood. Did the 0700 11 today and broke down at castle hill. Spoke to both drivers and the same fault. ‘Gearbox oil...

What does 10743 have to do with anything? It was arson?
