A50 Stansted Aiport (Citylink)

[F Great Eastern]

Is this service licensed?

Is this service licensed?

I don't think so. Why would it be?

 

[F Great Eastern]

Because the service is not advertised anywhere at Stansted Airport and is the same route number as the service that Terravision were operating without permission to do so earlier in the year?

I'm guessing as long as the service is being run by one of the permitted operators then everything is in order. I've seen it in Bullied Way and it looks like they are using the same coaches as well but with the name "Stansted Coaches" (or similar) in the address.

I've seen a few Callinan's Vanhools in plain white operating on it from ROI who run Irish Citylink, nothing else though

That didn't answer my question.

What is it you're wanting to know?

It is essentially Terriblevision with the same coaches and lunatics driving them but with "Stansted Transport" legals on them and operating with City Link apparently.Time will tell but VOSA are already "hunting" them, thankfully, and all power to them!

I see Terrorvision coaches parked up in Manchester and they look in a terrible state I believe they use Irizar century`s and the amount of bashes the have had is unbelievable. Not only that they have shabby repairs on them. Usually consisting of lots of duct tape!

Gaffa tape is indeed the repair material of choice for them, there is one at Stansted running about with the N/S/R corner panel held on with the stuff!

I remember seeing one of their Scanias at Liverpool Airport with a panel that looked a little askew.

The driver must have thought so too as he got out and gave it a good kicking!

Gaffa Tape and WD40 are all that's required to fix anything (Sometimes a hammer helps, after which it's back to Gaffa Tape or WD40). It's only when MOT testers get involved that these basic enginering rules start to fall down!

He must have been trained on Leyland Nationals! I'm told it was a basic technique that was required because of the number of micro switches that were involved with detecting if engine panels were open.
