Is it definitely on the same site?

Wouldn't another operator start running a suitable service if Arriva was really that poor? - or is it that, like so many other places, the pax numbers have simply fallen away?

No, leave Transpeak alone. The general travelling public aren't interested in it being a silent partner in Wellglade and probably consider it the express along that corridor..

It's not covered nowadays.

Bogmor Regis, some years ago. Brighton, Steine St Coach Stn

No update on more new Kinchbus Skylinks ?

Aren't Brighton & Hove reported to be the company 2nd only to TfL in their loadings etc? Nottingham is usually high up the list.

There's clear comments above about Trentbarton, vehicle quality, care etc. People seem to have forgotten that this really isn't the top notch 'Really Good Bus Co' that it was just a few years ago..

The order for Skylink Derby is 16 E200MMC - for a pvr of 16. Either a couple of the existing fleet is staying or they've realised that electrics can help on the shorter rotas or be temporary fill-ins for a few hours.

Probably struggling a bit at Pelican to keep up with the significant demand for Yutongs.

Weren't there just 12 *original' Kinch Derby Skylinks (with a few odds added later). Increased to a pvr of 16 when the frequency increased from x20 to x15.

Hardly 'crashed' as such - surely, it just reversed off stand into a passing NX coach. Did anyody ever report signifcant damage?
