With the tender changes in October, would you be planning to bid for either Evening or Sunday tenders to strengthen your presence on routes that you do Mon/Sat (208,226)

Hi.
We will look at all possibilities when the tenders appear though we don`t bid on everything.

Hi Hansons,

Maybe you could clear something up for us.

It was suggested that Hansons would be withdrawing from the X26 during June by Jon, but as yet there is no registration lodged to cancel the service on VOSA. Is this actually planned?

Hansons Buses Official

Winston.
Thanks for your question.
There is no plan to deregister the X 26 at this time.

Thanks Hansons,

Would I be right in saying that the 318 a WCC tendered service? Are Hansons currently engaging with WCC for it to continue beyond Sept?

Hansons Buses Official

Winston.
You are right and discussions are ongoing.

Hi Hansons Buses Official,

Separate topic created and set as sticky  ;)

A few questions from me:

1. What was the reasoning behind selling the 2 x 58 plate short E200's and replacing them with older 52 plate ex Dawson Rental Darts?

2. With the size of the current fleet, is the Lye depot pretty much at capacity?

3. Are there any plans in the immediate future to buy any new buses whilst Euro 5 is still available?

4. Would Hansons ever consider extending the 004 from Harborne up to the QE Hospital & terminate it there to offer new links?
Hi Winston.
1. End of lease/Nice buses at the right price.
2. Its not full yet.
3. Not on the radar for new buses but another addition shortly.
4. Not at present.Concerned about making the route unreliable.

3.Update.
Latest addition KX06LXO has arrived. I will update you when its due in service J

KX06 LXO is correct
MX60 BXA will be 9207/4 (others of that batch I know are 9207/x)

I cannot work out what RXL should be from that number I suspect it should be 2013/x

DV0 should also be in the format xxxx/x probably 9223/x

KX 06LXO is now in service and should be on 231 today if everything goes to plan.J
