Stagecoach can't allocate buses

They can...

(22 Feb 2016, 4:58 pm)S813 FVK wrote They can...

Not going by today's allocations!


2 Enviros on the 16
3 Gas buses on the 4

Indeed! They'd all be bored if there was no odd workings

Do you know why you they were allocated like that?

No idea

Some c**t on Facebook trying to split me and my lass up...She had a right old go at me yesterday which caused her to come to mine to sort it out, I walked and she chased me to the top of Deneside...

It all worked out in the end though, we apologised to each other, very much in love again and I am on several promises now

They can both allocate buses no problem, they're just slightly off occasionally in what services they allocate buses to...

Lothian is much better than everyone else like. 

Not once did I see a wrongly branded vehicle or vehicle type on the wrong service. 

Be like Lothian. 

So far, so terrible on my Lolyne hunt, had 6040 on the X21 and I am now on 6036 on the X25, if I'd have been on the correct side of the road I would have taken 7454 on the X12 over 6036 but sadly it didn't stop and I couldn't get across the road in time. Grrr!!!

Saw one heading through Low Fell towards Newcastle 20 mins ago, not sure what route though.

Caught it! It's 3875 on the X21.

Did you go to Edinburgh on a weekday or a Saturday, out of interest?

A number of routes run at a lower PVR on Saturdays, so they have a greater amount of spare buses to keep things on the right routes. This also has a downside, as it means that some of the extra branded buses end up going on walkabout. The E400Hs for the 10 regularly end up on the 8, for example.

Regularly goes to pot on a weekday, just like most other bus operators with branding!

Wednesday. A Gemini 1 bodied Volvo was on the 34 whereas a Gemini 3 with a new front was also on the 34

Especially Ashington, Blyth & Jesmond.

Jesmond don't seem to have realised that the ALX300 are branded half the time.

(23 Feb 2016, 6:35 pm)DanPicken wrote Jesmond don't seem to have realised that the ALX300 are branded half the time.

There was at least four ALX300's off route today! From what I saw, one on the 54, another on the 55, one on the X30 & another on the 43/44/45!

I'm sure the X30 runs off the 306.

I wouldn't put it past Jesmond then,.

Stop with the snide remarks then. Everyone is getting sick off them.

(23 Feb 2016, 6:33 pm)Davie wrote Especially Ashington, Blyth & Jesmond.

Care to clarify?

Give me a list of the wrong allocations from Ashington and Blyth and I will provide a reason which your thick little brain probably won't understand. 

@DanPicken - Jesmond are aware that the ALX300s are branded, even the depot manager, an enthusiast, knows...

Or the 43/44/45...haven't seen many StreetLites on the X30...

Agreed that everyone is getting sick of the snide remarks, but something I personally get sick of is back seat moderating in response to it.

Countless times have people been told to use a the report button or PM a moderator about it, and the site rules certainly haven't changed!

These bunch of tits. Virgin Trains East Coast. 

If you book on websites like Trainline, Trainsplit, Raileasy etc, you usually get a better deal than the rail operator themselves....despite what they say. 

So, at 1605 this evening, almost a week after I travelled, I receive the attached email from this scandolous money-pinching idiots because I booked with someone else....

I CAN BOOK WITH WHOEVER I WANT!

I only ever booked with EC, when they had Rewards.
Don't bother booking with them at all now.
