(2 hours ago)PH - BQA wrote Notice a complaint on X about the X82 (06:35 ex Eldon Square) being a single decker this morning. Response from Stagecoach that they try and use their larger vehicles on busier services, which is demonstrably nonsense given the constant allocations of the small E200s on peak runs out of town.
As discussed lots on here, the amount of midibuses/saloons at Slatyford is an absolute disgrace given the nature of their work.
Hopefully some deckers will be sent up here off the back of Stagecoach Devon (Torbay) going 100% Electric & East Midlands going Electric at (Hull) in the coming months, you also have Cumbernauld closing next month.
Near enough estimate of 100 vehicles due to be cascaded across the entire group on the above alone.
Liverpool will be starting the first phase of Franchising in St.Helens and Wirral from September this year so no doubt with a lot of New EV's on order/being delivered for Stagecoach from Alexander Dennis and Wrightbus respectively this will release a number of vehicles later in the year for cascade.
