It's good they are being up front & honest about the situation. And will work the 56 days notice many indipendants neglect

Cock Robin · 06 Feb 2016, 2:19 pm

That's a shame. Deprived area, you'd think people would jump at the chance of a £1 fare!

Jimmi · 19 Feb 2016, 6:33 pm

Service 30 is sadly coming to an end.

The Primo was on the 30 yesterday (1100). Don't know what was on the TR, unless it had changed over by then. MPD back on today.

Easter Holidays - no TR1, only the peak time TR2s are operated.

I know that, that's what I mean it could have been changed over by it was needed for the evening peak.

Was indeed, believe they also bought the Primo YN55YSC but not sure if it's been used either!

Had a quick look in at Croft's yard today and noted former Stagecoach London Trident 17836 (LX03BYM), along with a former NAT Group B7TL Gemini and what looks like an ex Trustybus Scania Solar.
Some of the coaches have been sold - Neoplan Skyliner KX05HVF has gone to Wrights Coaches in Wroxham, Norfolk.
