If a branded vehicle is required first thing for the E's on a Sunday, can't it be parked at the front on a Saturday night? Can't be too difficult if there are 16 of them?
It would be easy if we had the space in the depot to park them up like that but unfortunately it just doesn't happy like that

I think you should both have a day being an allocator. See how much better you can do.

I've always wondered who picks the allocations. Does the allocater wake up in the morning and think 'I fancy putting a hybrid on the 62 for a change'

If that were to happen, I will spend the whole day picking faults with their allocating skills Tongue

I'm sure it is a lot more than that, which is why i dont agree with 'typical arrive/gne/stagecoach' comments. I mean, there are times when the allocations do seem a bit stupid (there was a dicussion a few weeks ago about 7518 being allocated to services X21/X22 on a Sunday when there would have been plenty of branded vehicles in the depot).

Maybe somebody more experienced in that sort of stuff can comment on how and why buses are allocated wrongly?
