(27 May 2026, 5:46 pm)PH - BQA wrote The local allocators are, and have been for a number of years, completely unable to allocate vehicles correctly. The frequency with which 1479 and the 434 Solo(s) appeared on the correct routes was always astonishingly low.
You'd hope that, with the apparent increase in branding with the new MD, those responsible for allocating vehicles would be reminded that they don't just put stuff where they fancy without any thought to how suitable it is.
To be fair it's still a stupid allocation. Not because of the B9TL's but more the fact there's crocks around like 7530 which should be in that role.
They're not fit for purpose for anything more now and having deckers on the 1/2/57/57A is just an overallocation imo.
It's a shame they can't bid for some more schools or something. There's enough crocks around which would be ideal for it which should be nowhere near frontline service bar last resort.
