It's down to poor allocating of buses - not the monitoring of services which have specific loadings.
ALL four boards on services X70/X71 should be allocated OmniCities.
ALL five boards on services X30/X31 should be allocated Dennis Tridents (3885-89, and if any are unavailable, the Lolynes).
ALL three boards on services 15/15A should be allocated Volvo B7TLs.
No Volvo Olympians should be allocated to normal commercial service work and won't for much longer (or at least the chances will dramatically decrease for the next few months, until they are all withdrawn)...
So, how come the 08:17 X30 departure from Stanley was ALWAYS operated by an omnicity (and could still be, havent seen that working lately for obvious reasons)? Seems a bit too coincidental that the same board gets the 'spare' for weeks on end. (And that bus stays on aswell).
Also forgot to add that before the Schools broke up 1 President (Trident, not a B7) used to do scholars then head back up to Consett, presumably to operate services X70/X71.
Things may be different now its School Holidays but on School Days that is what occurred.
