Transfer of 367/368 from East Yorkshire
(22 Nov 2021, 12:51 am)JP6004 Why the E200 is 13yrs old. Waste of time and money for something that is only here to cover repaints and maintenanceWouldn't care but younger Solo's have already left the fleet or are about to leave the fleet

(22 Nov 2021, 5:55 pm)Storx The 29 is just a weird bus service in general don't really see it's purpose. It runs pretty much 15 minutes in front/behind the 28A and 69 and doesn't really offer any new links bar Low Fell to Kibblesworth which aren't already provided elsewhere and doesn't go to Newcastle either.But the 29 is secured isn't it?
Seems counter productive when the 28/28A are clearly struggling hence the cuts lately.

Ive said it before on here... it was secured so Kibblesworth would have 2x bus per hour. When the tender came up GNE were worried about a competitor getting it in there area so took it, as Dan says, most of the journeys commercially. As far as I know the first run on the morning is run by GCT... I'm not sure if it ever turns up as I'm never up at 630am!
Its never going to get "new buses" but it must pee off customers who see adverts for clean euro 6 buses, tables to work at and charging for mobile phones when i isn't ever been on a 29 with them.... and to be honest i don't think the 28a/b ever has buses with these items either

(22 Nov 2021, 6:24 pm)Rob44 doesn't bother me a bus having any of those thing... i just pray it turns up!!You don't know how many times I hear I wish this had USB's, or I wish they worked.
Im on about the potential customers who see these shiny new buses and think if they get the bus it will be one of those and they end up with a 58 plate cast off with thin hard seats. no next stop annoucements and TBH i don't even think it has WIFI?

Apologies all, I was relaying information from a normally solid source. Would appear he was fed the information erroneously.
(08 Mar 2022, 9:53 pm)Malarkey Any updates on what is happening with these B7RLE's?They've moved from where they've been for months! So some progress. Noticed one in and amongst the main lines of vehicles when I passed earlier tonight.
