Probably minor, else it would be all over the news by now.
Only 154 stopped tracking in that area yesterday.
815 seems to have had some problems of its own this evening
Care to share any details?
The 6.15 Cotgrave didn’t run and it was blocking the stand on Beastmarket Hill for a while around 7pm. I think 145 did the final journeys on its ‘diagram’
Do we know the launch date for these new busses?
No not yet
My wild guess would be late June to allow for the drivers to familiarise themselves with the vehicles until then
Are they that different from the current fleet?
Camera mirrors, probably also got the same safety features the 24plate batch have
Yes - it's been invaluable & will certainly keep pace for download!
Where have you heard this?
I would say that is extremely unlikely given the size of Skills, and its varied operations. Plus, they don’t cover much rail replacement services either.
At the risk of sounding blunt - you've heard wrong.
And even if, I'd think Sutton depot would not be dig enough to cope with extra buses.
I did wonder if that was the red Volvo parked at the back of Meadow Road depot today.
732s probably also painted, 733s still in use at derby, as a spare mainly on the swift though has made the odd appearance else where this week so might not be that long till it goes for repaint
733 has been on the Allestree a couple of days this week. Maybe less use on the Swift as 737 is back in use
Yeah, I've been surprised its been on allestree, comets down 748 due to MOT and 750 was also off part of the week so would of been more of an effective use of the vehicle on comet than having a red versa on it which was being used most of the week
Not had any reports of it coming back yet.. Presume it went to Charnwood Commercials.
I thought I'd have a ride...
Would make sense for it to be back early next week, have it in use for download to allow a slightly larger vehicle available to use over a solo on their busier routes while the bigger vehicles are used on download work
