Will be interesting to see if similar might become of the sixes versas when they are eventually displaced…
Guess that leaves 146 and 147 now.
They'll probably end up as spares, I think the red spare livery would really suit the E200MMC
Certainly looks good on the Versas and the Volvos.
I know I've said this before, but simply put, it was the most unreliable member of the members of its batch that Arriva transferred to Leicester last winter. And from what I hear, it hasn't changed its ways.
Blown head gasket, was reported elsewhere
669 is indeed on the mickleover
The bus tracking as Mickleover 106 is actually Sixes Versa 841. I saw it as it was arriving into Belper from Bakewell.
Given how often the Sixes Versas seem to break? Not really
To be honest, judging by Bustimes, they don't seem to be as bad recently. Maybe its because they have a more ready supply of spares from ex Threes examples and those donor ones they brought in.
Does the 6.2 ever have two buses allocated? There usually seems to be a bus missing on that route.
There's not actually that many common components that are shared between those examples
The decision is already made as to where the B8s will be going
Can you enlighten us?
Or do we know already?Difficult to say, but a woman in Duffield that goes to Ripley frequently, does seem to be very unlucky.. Now into double figures with cancellations in a few months. "Oh just get a taxi" is the response
Of course. Now I remember. 106 is the Mickleover Enviro 200MMC that had a bang recently. It is currently in A garage having part of the lower front replaced
Pure red like the Wright Eclipses, probably.
Theres a diversion on in the evening, the branded skylink bus was over an hour late so it would of been the first available vehicle (having just finished its i4 runs not long before) so would of been an easy replacement, especially for that time of night
On the i4 have previous timetable changes increased the pvr? All branded vehicles were out yesterday plus a spare and same again today
But are they all out at the same time? If you note 140. It came off after morning Peak and makes a reappearance late afternoon. Peak hour increase.
Yeah the i4 has a few peak only boards to keep Nottingham - Sandiacre frequent during rush hour
No idea if it's a change since the previous timetable change but bustimes.org shows 14 diagrams (C57-C70) on i4 and 13 branded vehicles.
With the A52 works an extra board was put in. The timetable hasn’t changed but when services arrive in Nottingham instead of a 10min turnaround they now get 20min hence the extra board.
Makes you wonder if it's really worth it. Will they get as much out of it as what they put in? Will all Notts County players and fans suddenly start travelling by Trentbarton just because their hardly noticeable logo is on club shirts? I wouldn't bet on it!
