Ah, can 26173 get another fault so it can land on the 4/6 now its the only one I need? Lol joking but ty for the info
Im not sure about the 350. But i know that the 250 coped fine, it just shows how much single deckers help in circumstances like this
The 350 has coped fine as well as the 250.
I knowwww thats quite sad, I went on 24195 just before its repaint
Grimsby mate
Mansfield also have 26263 and 26272
Oh yes they do - apologies that was just lazy from me, saw both of those tracking on the 53 yesterday and assumed it was the GY-LCN 53 service
I hadn‘t thought about the Sheffield clean air zone. I had wondered why these buses were always on the 53 and rarely ran elsewhere from Mansfield. I was quite surprised to see one on the 141 a few weeks ago.
It's always been fun to see the plethora of near life-expired vehicles on the 53A at night time; the Halfway terminus negates the need for Euro6 vehicles due to not entering the city centre.
There is no doubt that the 141 needed added time whatever, and that meant an extra bus. The trouble is that the end points preclude absorbing time through layover or extension there, whilst to split the route at Mansfield and build there spare time into inter-working would break the link across town to Kings Mill hospital an emotionally sensitive issue. I reckon that after justified extended running time there is still about 20 minutes slack each way. Extended recovery at Sutton, Mansfield and Nottingham takes up some of this, but the rest has to be taken en route. Whilst the NCC offices is not a welcoming place to wait, it is at least safe and non-obstructive. NCC does of course fund the route and has every right to make such decisions irrespective of the consequences. They are now starting to build a very large number of houses there and for once there will be a bus route ready and waiting for new occupiers as they move in. I think we have to face that the 141 could not reliably run with four buses, but is not long enough to fully occupy five, and with no easy way to absorb all the slack sensibly.
Hull's are meant to be 80294 to 80312, so unless theres been changes to the numbers, 80318 is closest to 80312, likely for Hull
Seeing the post on comments he does say it’s because the legals show as Lincoln, but doesn’t all east mids vehicles show as Lincoln?
Yes, legals are Lincolnshire Road Car Company, Warneford House, Runcorn Road, Lincoln
I've read on that Facebook post it is for Mansfield, with their 400 EV's being due this month
I thought Mansfield's was 80357 to 80366?
Plans sometimes change to be fair - the person that commented it is a driver who is usually spot on with info
Maybe it has been changed so that Mansfield’s fleet numbers will follow on from Hull’s
The e100 isn’t even stagecoach spec
