Yeah had a feeling that was the case, other than the Hartlepool pit issues. I always wondered what the point is as the size is neglible. Can't imagine capacity wise, it must be much different - 4 or 6 seats, without counting at all? Assume there must be something else to it as I can't see many places where a full size single can get around where a 10.8m can, it's not like were talking about MPD's or 9.5m Solo's etc.

Thanks for that, had a feeling it would be neglible.

Btw what's that baggage about? Are customers only meant to bring 20KG of stuff each on an Enviro 200? Never seen that on any bus before and not sure how it would exactly be enforceable unless there's a secret set of scales, I never knew about.

RE: Overcrowding and Unsuitable Allocations - F114TML - 17 Dec 2023

I don't know either. It's only on a few buses - suspiciously ones that have transferred from other depots.

Strange, just had a little research and the only mention of baggage limits of 20KG is on coaches. Wonder if they just found some spare and just thought buggar it.

Couldn't because it's all one sticker - no standing on coaches Wink

Anyhoo, here's a few more:

True on the standing, who knows. The logic puzzle one on the E300 is the type I'm used to where it's virtually impossible to read as there's so many or's. Never realised neater ones we're made tbh (don't use SNE).

That one seems particular bad and looks like whoever was putting it up got confused aswell as it jumps from the number being after the type to the number before the type twice.
