In Stockport they are planning to build 2 temporary depots, which will eventually be replaced by a new perminate one.
Has there ever been any other examples?
Years ago First Buses Greenline to Slough, /Windsor had something called 'rainbow ' fares,which used dynamic pricing.
Apart from coaches, do any bus company use it current or historical?
What National Express routes, do you think they should try to run?
A few ideas including
Clacton / Chelmsford - Cambridge - Peterborough- Nottingham- East Midlands Airport
Leicester/Midlands Airport - Stoke-on-Trent- Rhyl - Llandudno
Recently traveled on D&G 87 (Monday to Friday)Macclesfield to Knutsford and it entered Barclays at Radbrook Park, near Knutsford.
What other examples are there of buses entering private property (except Shopping centres/supermarkets/works only)
I read something that some service years ago swapped drivers back to the 'parent ' eg a service London to Sheffield, a drivers would swap say Milton Keynes so doing Sheffield to Milton Keynes , swap over and return to Sheffield.
What example ate there historically and any currently ?
Diamond East Midlands have 6 Custom Denning Element 2 buses. Are these the only Australian made buses in UK.
Also has any Australian made byses/coaches bern in us in the UK side years ago?
Its 40 years since the National Bus Company (NBC) was privatised. Was it a good idea? Were many divisions making much money/losing money, and are still poor/good today ?
Came across this at at Hanley Bus Station, Stoke-on-Trent (owned by the council but mess room leased to First Bus) Is this a common problem currently or historically?
