Hello Simon
Will Rotala have new coaches for Flights Hallmark or keep same ones at Long Acre?

We are going to reduce the coaching fleet.  We will retain around 3 for Private Hire work

Is long acre depot planning to shutdown?

Because there's quite a lot of VOR buses and few on main parking by used buses

We have a plan in place to reduce the operation between now and November to nothing

Most of the VOR buses are there for body repairs.  Some are there for sale

Have you ever considered adding an extra dart on the 142, so that they have more layover time, and decrease the frequency of the 4H to Hayley green have every other one terminate at Halesowen?

Think the best best is Stratford for most, there are 3 booked duties of Stratford at 18:15ish, should be two big and a short Streetlite, other than that, wait around Redditch?
