I am hoping the service changes will force them to act tbh, they deserve it.

I imagine the van conversions were Cheap to run, but they cheap with a capital 'C", especially as they had MPDs on the same services etc.

Honestly, can't disagree with it. We all know that 2857 and the rest of the Solo's limping around will end up coming first though. Might aswell go through the pack, they've has 13 Solo's to run it in the past (18 months) ignoring 2601 - 2603 and the 2 MPD's and the 5 Enviro 200 MMC's, might aswell get a few more.

This must be up there for the most buses officially allocated for a a PVR 4 in such a short time. Crazy 20 buses.

I wouldn't want to know what it is over the last 15 years with all sorts on, I couldn't even attempt to work it out.
