I know this is off topic but, shouldn’t we create a discord server? I think this will be another good platform for this community.

(21 Feb 2019, 12:13 am)Rapidsnap Question. Why are the EYMS vehicles going to Saltmeadows for a repaint, wouldn't it be cheaper for EYMS to do it at Anlaby Road depot especially on the fuel costs.

Will GNE be getting more demos to compare against Merces? They should get Volvo 7900h  to try.

I think Hybrid Citrao would be expensive choose for Cruasder or 4 .

Thought they weren't getting repainted as the Omnidekka's were due up from Brighton.

Hopefully, would like to see it get used in the NE, it would suit local busy routes, like the 57/58.

Good to meet up with @NigelVickers1 and Sarah from @camira this afternoon to look at some moquette samples (including some @creatingdesire options) with @colinbarnes17. NB The shortlisted examples aren’t in the picture!



Wonder if this means a new style of seating on the new buses..... or on the refurbished B9's?

But, are more actually still coming from Brighton...? Heard that this might not be the case anymore due to the current ones proving too costly to run, also some are having chassis problems.

Think the ones having chassis repairs are the original batch.
