(22 May 2019, 5:21 pm)EL1TE 2x ex-EYMS Presidents and 2x Coaster B5s paying a visit to Volvo in Washington.

The Volvo B7s at Volvo Washington so often because they go there for PSV preparation & test.

The Coaster B5s similarly get serviced at Volvo Washington (along with any other maintenance).

From comparing to another photo, all they've seemed to have done is changed the logo on the front.

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but with the more professional looking timetable pdfs returning to the GNE website, have they also restarted making paper timetables available?

Ye, haven't seen any on the bus yet (only used the 8 so can't confirm for any other services), not sure if they're in the travelshops yet, haven't had a chance to go in any.

21 and X 21 have been in their respective buses since sunday. Didn't see any one the 20, which has had bigger changes but not been on it since Sunday.

Not quite - but new tip up seat vinyls, emergency exit vinyls, buggy/wheelchair zone vinyls and a welcome message on the cab door.

When will the issues with the app be resolved? It's basically useless down here in Bishop unless you're going Northbound from Bus Station.
Southbound buses still don't show and all the new stops still aren't showing

On the bright side, the new timetables look rather sharp in person, although the font is a bit bigger than I was expecting on the X21. The older passengers certainly shouldn't have a problem seeing the times!

I spoke to them twice on Monday about it and they said they'd passed it onto the developers.
I don't know much about how their back end works, but it doesn't seem like it would take too much time to fix.

All of these things take time.

Issues with the app are raised to Go-Ahead Group's app development team (there isn't one locally).

I would have thought they'd have planned far enough ahead for the new stops to be ready for the new route, but then again, bus companies aren't exactly known for their time keeping!

It's not too much of an issue for me as I can still estimate the times by looking at the stops that are actually there, but others might not.

The issue that annoys me most is the app now says that the X21 doesn't go via Victoria Street and Newgate Street North when it does, i don't know how they managed to mess that up when the rest of the stops work.

Well, it's still there, they've just removed the link from the menu.
I'd imagine they've finally got the allocations sorted and it's being updated, either that or someone accidentally clicked the wrong button!

Just occurred to me that I'm hoping that the re-painting of the whey aye five-O's isn't completed to soon, since my big five-O is in October. I at least expect a fleet of appropriately designed buses to come out and celebrate the occasion Big Grin
