(29 Aug 2021, 8:28 am)Drifter60 Does the Violet not need another painting/allocating? PVR of 4, only three branded vehicles.If you go by the adage applied in the past one of the 4 would be corporate, like 5504 from the Metrocentre allocation and 6100 of the 309/310/311 etc

Doesn't X66 require 3 vehicles during the normal timetable now the circular extension is gone and it's going down to every 10 mins?

(29 Aug 2021, 8:23 am)citaro5284 Does it really make any difference thou - the consistency is that most vehicles have the road stripe surely?
When Peter Huntley was here, all the branded vehicles had a white curve on them from the front wheel arch - this is no different.

(29 Aug 2021, 1:22 pm)logidoodah I think this is a bad idea especially through the day because Every single X66 I have seen over the past few weeks has been rammed with people and when I'm waiting for the 6 or 7 to go home all I hear are the customers complaining of the amount of people in the bus and barely any room to stand as well.Even during non-peak times the X66 seems to basically run at capacity, at least whenever I've used it it has.
This would put me off using the X66 in particular. I know that the 100 has difficulty with capacity especially at peak times so both routes could do with an extra at peaks.

I personally think it should at least use deckers during peak times, every time I've used it for the past year or so it's gone via Askew Road so height wouldn't be an issue.
Is the X22 ran by Riverside or CLS? Maybe a reason for the similar branding between them could be to share vehicles?

The erratic new Berrie 8330 spent a full day out (so far) today. Presumably just 8331 to go if 8329 goes corporate.

(17 Sep 2021, 11:12 pm)Acky81 Destination displays need to be white still proving difficult for passengers to see especially during the day on 2 2AI heard that this was a change to come, each one has to go for USB and trim attention at some point.
