Aw, I was hoping more for March.
Derbys aren't supposedly due til March/April time, time will tell.

So is an Enviro 200 or a Temsa the worst?
The E200 has certainly had a hard life...
Haven't seen the Temsa yet, last time I used one was on the X93 to Whitby just after they entered service!

I wonder if Tamworth may get some of the various buses that are due to be freed up when Thurmaston get their electric single deckers.
Should be quite a few newer E200mmcs and an assortment of VDL saloons.

It feels like there’s a selection of stop gaps so perhaps some cascades are due?
GN10 KWH?
That's the one.
It's in service, nothing has happened to it, it's just a bit crap.

Hopefully so, the Geminis though beasts are looking a little long in the tooth,

no doubt E400mmcs cascaded from elsewhere.
iSquared seem to be investing quite a lot in new buses so might even be new ones.
Not investing anywhere near enough in new buses to tackle the backlog of what needs replacing though.

Either be E400MMCs or wrights, I recon we are more likely to get cascades from other opcos as a stopgap though,

They haven’t invested in over ten years (except 2017) so it’s going to take some time - can’t just splurge.

Does anyone know the id of the Enviro 300 parked in the side yard at Tamworth please and the Temsa on the pits also at Tamworth please, assume it is 4718? Thank you.

And also the Enviro 200 on the pits?

The context is annual replacement to ensure adequate fleet replacement is maintained - Arriva has had new vehicles since 2014 but only in 2017 was it sufficiently large to meet overall group needs.

New Electroliner 8052 is broken down on the A500 sliproad junction with the A38 this morning.

Sorry I meant the a50 not the a500

It was on trade plates so, yes, I assume on delivery.

Is it for Leicester or Tamworth?

I'm wondering if the driver was "charged"
Tamworth getting new buses... surely not?

I've since read on Facebook that another ten Electroliners are on order for Leicester, so this would be one of those.
