I believe a double decker is required due to the school runs at the beginning and end of the day.

I haven't seen too many single deckers on the 448 (and therefore 434) recently, with it being a red thing or a Gemini 2 every day I've seen it in the past few weeks.

(16 May 2016, 8:03 pm)Dan wrote That's correct.

Volvo B10BLEs allocated to the 434 on Saturdays, when there is no double deck contractual requirement for scholars service 448.

On the subject of allocations though, does anybody know what the AM scholars 831 runs onto? From what i was aware, the bus did the AM service, 689 and then PM service but recently, it has been turning left out of the school as if it was heading back to Stanley to do a V7/V8 or 30.

(16 May 2016, 10:22 pm)Wybus wrote I believe it now runs a 30 starting from Lanchester. The previous journey from Stanley to Lanchester having been made school holidays only in the last service changes, presumably the bus that used to do that trip now being required somewhere else.

Apologies.

I think it started its trial on the 85/86 on Saturday so should be on there I believe.
