All e200mmcs at slatyford are absolutely knackered and it is a shame to see them like that as they’re nearly hitting 10 years old and walkergates E40Ds are performing better than them(Btw they’re 14-16 years old).The mmcs are constantly being used on completely inappropriate runs like the 685.It sounds like i am repeating myself,however slatyford will go horrifically wrong if they dont start doing something.Id say these improvements below must be made:
Get rid of the 373** batch altogether,they are useless and garbage as 364** are already ok enough for 32(Ik it sounds wrong for newer buses to get gone(imo)but 364**s are just more reliable)
Reconsider allocations such as 685.Get any MMC gone from the route altogether as it causes disaster.With that allocate deckers on routes that NEED it especially during rush hours and morning peaks.Eg.Not putting on e200s on the 6 and 7 and X47(during peak times)
Maintenance needs to be improved ASAP as you can see with a lot of buses in dire conditions
Get the last of the 241** MANviros gone,absolute garbage and the engines sound extremely tired and just need retiring.
Get chargers in to get the last of the Yutongs on the road(Ik its not totally their fault however just something that needs happening)
I apologise also if this is the wrong thread to post this in.Thanks everyone
