(15 Dec 2017, 10:23 am)RBZ 5459 PERIOD 8 (wk commencing 10th December 2017)
Not much movement over the last period, summed up...
BUSWAYS: 19204 has returned to Walkergate with 22343 going the other way to Slatyford - one of the 18 boards is now decker operated Monday-Friday.
Another bus has been added to the Slatyford express services cycle to hopefully sort reliability out, the boards don't interwork as much now with greater layover at either ends which will probably see more stand fighting at Eldon..! X47 best part of the day doesn't interwork.
TRANSIT: 22020 is back on fleet at Stockton with PVR increase on the 12. 22017 was sold for scrap to Alpha Recovery, although was being stored up at Slatyford as the engine has ultimately gone into 22031.
To add, 19435 is also gaining the Megabus allover ad that 19432 has.
It would make sense to strip down the ALX300s in the worst condition to repair the ones that are in a better condition to try to get more value out of them. Its hard to believe that most of the 03/53 batch of ALX300s have been withdrawn for a year and haven't been sold/moved on yet.
What was wrong with 22017 that made it be the first 03-plate ALX300 to be scrapped? Is 22011 still sat at Walkergate without an engine?
