    Severe Alert from the UK Government

    A lot of people I know are incredibly sceptical of Andy Burnham and how he was just shuffled into Number 10. We've not seen anything of any substance from him apart from a lot of PR spin. Someone wil have to take the flak for the mis-use of the alert system.

    Severe Alert from the UK Government

    Complete misuse of the system which will only result in I imagine a significant amount of people turning them off now. Certainly not a wise move by Andy Burnham, his reputation will now require rebuilding before it's even started

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but what is the reason the Stagecoach E400EV's seem to be used on the 14 Monday / Tuesday and the 19 Wednesday / Thursday / Friday?

    I’d assumed the biggest obstacle is that the small depot at Kings Lynn would need to be electrified, I think there are only 12 vehicle duties from there. Like you mention, I’m not sure any EV decker has the necessary range given also it’s not really a stop-start route. Unless First make an...

    All four “permanent transfers” are back working in Ipswich today….

    Cricket

    Seems an incredibly arrogant thing to do midway through a match, sort of sums up the current culture. Where do England go from here though, Brook clearly isn’t captain material, wonder if we are going through a transitional couple of years now

    Do any of you have a big problem this year with ants indoors?

    Always have problems in the high summer mainly due to living near heathland but this year seems especially bad and much earlier than normal. Not sure if I’ve got a number of separate nests or one very large one as they seem to move locations very quickly after treatment is put down

    Other sources suggest the Streetdecks in Norwich for UEA graduation as they are every year. Until something official is released, this just seems like again another repetitive excuse to rant about TMS rather than waiting to see what changes especially with the school summer holidays coming.

    Maybe we should wait for something official rather than a unsubstantiated rumour?

    Formula 1

    I’m not a Hamilton fan at all but you have to wonder Ferraris long term plan, if it’s Bearman maybe they should have put him with Hamilton for a couple of years as LeClerec looks less and less a team leader each year

    Had a look at the changes for First in Basildon / Hadleigh Basildon Overall PVR up by 1 vehicle. Looks like some of the lengthy layovers have been removed (possibly a contingency for the introduction of the Yutongs?) as the 25 (Basildon - Southend) has gained 3 vehicles but the 22 (Basildon...

    Trivia: Bus routes or corridors that currently get a full 24/7 bus service.

    Don’t forgot the 28 between Basildon and Southend gets a hourly overnight service from 31 May

    I wonder if the revised 25 will be operated by both Basildon and Hadleigh?

    Are these changes going to have a dramatic effect on the PVR at Hadleigh? I think the 20 / 27 has 20 odd vehicles allocated to it at peak times (mostly deckers). The cynic in me wonders if they can't get deckers to replace the LJ59 E400's thus this is the result - I assume the 28 can't have...
