Would probably fit with the 306 ones being freed up too...

I know it wont happen but it would be nice for pulsars to replace them then that would mean there would be something remotely decent on the 35 than branded buses that are half knackered

7489 back at Redcar, on 62 today.

I'd hardly call 3 wrong allocations a 'bad day'.

is there a reason why there are quite a few max buses on 35

(27 Jan 2017, 3:02 pm)Buses98 wrote is there a reason why there are quite a few max buses on 35

From what I know, Ashington tend to use the 35 to 'test' buses after they've been repaired, that could be a reason why. There's also the possibility that the vehicles that should be allocated are off the road, and so they're using spare 'MAX' vehicles.

ah yes and ashington usually use this route to break buses in to service gradually if they have been off the road for a long time plus they will have an extra decker will the departure of 1581 to jesmond
