GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions
(15 Oct 2023, 9:35 am)F114TML Really? That's only 3 return trips.
We can do up to 6 trips on the 20 (ie Fawcett St - Pennywell and back 6 times). Don't know if the shift still exists but there used to be one that did 6 return trips on the 20 and then a 3 from Fawcett Street to the Wheatsheaf - it was absolutely soul destroying.
Also that's just one shift, nothing to do with the rota there. Could well be that drivers get the 21 maybe a couple times in a week at most.

When the green arrows come back + the new Streetlites im thinking
4949A/96 - Streetlites (14)
60 - E200MMC (deep clean and try to fix the USB ports as they all have gum in them - 8 (go back to every 12+ 1 spare) 3 to be painted in 2019 livery
2/2A - ex-drifters (USB + new moquteee added) + (3 13 Plates)
3 streetlite to Deptford
3 to Washington for spares on the 4/28/29/25
Should solve most things, but the entire fleet needs a massive TLC, now would be the perfect time

I doubt that GNE will be able to afford to do anything!

(29 Oct 2023, 9:28 am)Andreos1 They can use the time the vehicles aren't on the road, to tidy them up or do some cost-effective titivating.
I'm assuming there will be volunteers willing to do that in addition to declining any increased pay award going forward.
For the sake of the company and out of the goodness of their hearts.
At the very least, it could protect or enhance the book value of the buses should they be sold off.

674 and 673 must have a big issue with NSA because all the rest of graphites are working even 679 after a long time with them not working
