So did we in Sunderland but then they changed most of the services haha

(15 May 2016, 7:27 pm)Tom wrote What other routes are every 15 minutes though? I was thinking the 39 with the Lambton Worm versas but you already said it would be allocated Solars. Can't think of any other route that's every 15 minutes and requires 4 buses.

Furthermore I think the 17/17A will gain various corporate livery spare Wright Solars, I would go with 4974 to 4976 & 4989 to 4992.

As for the Blue Solars, no idea where they could go, 11/96 maybe.

I know the 434 doesn't seem to carry many passengers but I think it's the scholars service where the large amount of passengers are, otherwise I would think a minibus would be more than suitable.

Those of you heading to the Open Day at Riverside this weekend may spot Emma Hignett - the woman who has voiced all of the recent Next Stop Announcements (and indeed London's buses).
