RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jimmi - 05 Jul 2016
(05 Jul 2016, 8:11 am)Designline so it is those ones that are going to phoenix, I think from now on I will find alternative sources for finding informationWould have been shocked if GO59WMS left the Weardale fleet considering it has just been repainted into their standard livery within the last few weeks.

i think it be they 2 small ones that leaving weardale i remember seeing D6WMS up for sale while back so i think it most likely to be V6/D6 they the 2 smallest solos they got

I think under DDA rules it's allowed to have a route number on the left, it's just not seen as "best practice". Still agree it could do with being on the right though.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - Tom - 18 Jul 2016
Has everything been delivered yet do you know?
If not I can see a couple of double deckers being used on the nexus work until the Bluebirds etc. are delivered as they won't have enough other buses.

I'm guessing the other Bluebird was on the K2 then?
Is it just me or are the destination blinds dodgy on the Phoenix buses the writing looks to be squashed up on one side
RE: Phoenix Coaches - Jimmi - 25 Jul 2016
(25 Jul 2016, 4:23 pm)Tom I'm guessing the other Bluebird was on the K2 then?Oops, missed the K2 out. Yep Bluebird SJ16BGX was on the K2.

Yeah, the destination set up does look peculiar.
There was a Cock up somewhere this morning with the 84/84A, the first journey to the MetroCentre didn't run as somehow Phoenix seemed to be under the impression that the first run was the 10:40 from the MetroCentre. I know full well that the first run to the MetroCentre didn't operate as a woman got on the 10:40 departure and mentioned it about a HUNDRED TIMES!

Ah right thought they would be
According to the timetable on Nexus the first run is 10:40 from Metrocentre.
