Heard a rumour earlier, a Deptford driver was telling me the StreteShites on the 60 may be getting replaced soon with Mercs replacing...I am taking it with a pinch of salt to be honest as bus drivers are usually as in the dark as the public in general...
Anyone else heard such a rumour latel
Some of the SimpliCity Versas are having few blind issues. At least two were not displaying the number at all but the destination was working fine. One was on the 61 on Tues, another was on 42's on the same day. Another, simplicity branded one has a malfunctioning blind, a bit like the purple had (ex drifter) examples, while one of those purple ones still had issues when I seen on it last Friday.
Meanwhile, was pleased to see 628 allocated to Fridays 701.
(26 Sep 2014, 7:05 pm)Andreos1 Quick question that some of our insiders might be able to answer.
When the 4 turns into the short 35a, why does it not go the same route as the 35a does during the day?
It runs as the 35a, but does a mixture of the 30a and 4.

(25 Sep 2014, 8:35 am)Andreos1 Aye, busman101 is the foreteller of doom as far as Black Boy Road bridge goes - hopefully he is as wrong with this one as he is with QCS :p.
No idea where the next P&R site will be or whether the Roseberry Leisure link will continue (car parking at Pub and Arena).
Apart from sticking the cars in a field at Penshaw riding stables, I am not sure what other space Roseberry has these days.

Was on a QuayLink Versa yesterday from The Sage to New Market Street. I was pleasantly surprised by it all, the driver gone out of his way to help people, and the vehicle itself was in pretty good condition! The interior TV screen was just a generic QuayLink welcome message but it had another TV screen to the right of it.
Inside it was clean, and generally a nice place to be. It was nippy too - really did enjoy the trip!
(More than what could be said for my last trip on a GNE Versa, one of the SimpliCity branded ones)
(28 Sep 2014, 8:47 pm)Tom Was on the 45 yesterday still with a frozen front display. Confusing for passengers too as there was no paper number in the window, and I don't think that one has a side blind?

There have been no vehicle transfers this week. A number of older branded double deck vehicles have been re-registered. DFDS Trident 3866 has become 340 GUP, 3867 is now 524 FUP and 3891 is now CU 7661. 3890 will be re-registered CU 6860 in due course. Red Arrow B7TL 3943 is now registered FCU 190. The Angel B7s 3962 and 3965 are also due to be re-registered.I assume that 3962/65 will be the new K2VOY/K3VOY, but I don't know this for sure.
MPD 544 has transferred back to Deptford from Washington, and is apparently on 238s today.
Scania L94 4935 should transfer to Chester as a replacement for 4852 at some point today.
