Quote from: Mayfield on March 19, 2024, 01:38:09 PMDoes anybody know why 63531 hasn't been in service for 5 weeks, this is the one that entered service weeks after all the others and has already had a lengthy time out with what if I am correct was accident damage.If bus times is correct then 63531 has returned from wrightbus and is now back in service.
Quote from: Magikrabby on April 22, 2024, 07:28:56 PMIt is correct. Was on my way home and noticed it was tracking so rushed out again to check and get a photo 😅think it's the first time in a long while a decker has been on the 20 the last one afaik being 909 in late 2022.
Also a Orbital branded E10 was on Hop today which is quite rare (though not as rare as the decker on 20!)
Quote from: Glenfieldmathk1 on April 08, 2024, 04:47:55 PMWhy have they removed the X6 livery from one of the coaches?Another coach is rumoured to be joining the trio at Barwell so possibly a rebranding is on the way?
Are they replacing them, or is the coach due to be used on a different route?
Quote from: Mayfield on March 24, 2024, 08:43:47 AM4 or 5 electrics at Thurmaston Friday so is the time approaching for them to enter service🤞🤞
Quote from: joieman on March 24, 2024, 03:53:55 PMI wonder if Kinchbus plan to put the frequencies of these services up. Presently the 5, 11 and 12 each have a PVR of 2, the 2 has a PVR of 1 and the 9 has a PVR of three, making a total of fourteen buses.the 5, 9, 11 & 12 have had their pre-covid frequencies restored but rarely manage to run a full days timetable on them.

Quote from: Glenfieldmathk1 on March 15, 2024, 09:07:57 AMThe B8's are now branded..Branding very similar to last year and they look very smart
All 5 are white with Purple branding for EMA.. with a reference to First bus on the back.
I saw one yesterday on driver training running along the A50 in Markfield.
The service starts on Sunday.

Quote from: Glenfieldmathk1 on March 05, 2024, 10:56:31 AMStill no word on the Electric Leicester Streetdecks, other than a small post on Facebook fan page stating that leicesters double decker order might be diverted to Leeds. Maybe the ADL demonstrator is here to trial to replace the order?I've heard the opposite that some of Leeds batch MIGHT be coming to Leicester to bolster the double decker fleet.
Quote from: Magikrabby on February 27, 2024, 08:20:42 PM931 appears to be significantly more reliable than 912 or 913, which often seem to break down according to their tracking data. I would say it is one of the most reliable busses in the whole fleet! I was on it today - the engine still sounds healthy and it never seems to struggle accelerating, so I can only see age being a reason for withdrawal in its current state. I guess we will find soon what will happen to it. I am hoping they at least keep it until August when it will turn 20 years old!IIRC the previous vehicle to use fleet number 931 was scania decker H231 LOM and that proved to be a reliable workhorse.
