are they keeping the service or they just lending a hand to council

RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 29 Dec 2015

Due to MX14FUH requiring some minor accident damage repairs, B10BLE VAG606R made its debut on the 82/83 today (and yes, it did spend most of the day with 'Merry Christmas' on the destination - despite the update, the 82/83 wasn't in the screen list)

We're only six days into the year - not that many rare workings to pick from!

Explorers are NOT valid on the 82/83, 84, 87 or 88.

I don't think we're going to get anything rarer that than to be fair. It did only do one and a half trips (the first trip from each end didn't operate) before being replaced by VAG606R. Should have been KX04HRJ but I understand it failed enroute.

They used to do their own day ticket after they took over the Leven Valley runs but for some reason they have now scrapped it.

Excellent to see a local independent ordering some vehicles brand new, as opposed to second-hand. Smile
