(09 Jul 2016, 9:59 pm)ne14ne1 Talking of service changes & vehicle features, I think its a bit of a shame that any blind or visually impaired residents of Hadrian Park, that currently benefit from Next Stop Announcements on Citylink58 services will lose this aid when the route is cut short, and replaced with the non-NSA equipped Citylink57 service.

I still dunno why its being changed to the 57,ive been giving it some thought and i just dont get it,is it to keep the brand fresh,are the versas in a bad shape that they cant run the full journey to hadrian park,or simply just cus they want to,on a side note its gonna be nice seeing mercs over here again on this route cus some of them coming across actually served most of their lives on the 58 before going on the old 43/44 in 2012

The 58 is going to operate every 12 minutes according to the new timetable online, so you could not have every other one like now going to Hadrian Park and the service must not warrant everyone going to Hadrian Park, so replace that section of route with the 57 that operates on a 20 minute frequency as the Hadrian Park extension does now so the service is maintained, quite simple really Tongue

Are they to be mixed between depots or all allocated to the same depot?
