Any chance of some newer vehicles for the S2 Service given the amount of lost mileage experienced this week?

Fleet full of streetlites- not due to the age of vehicles that for sure

I'm surprised they haven't got a second hand tow truck yet, save Rotala a fortune...

Redditch already has the youngest fleet within Diamond Bus.

Perhaps I should rephrase then... any chance of a bus service being provided on the S2 this week given the amount of lost mileage experienced this week!?

The S2 is mainly the four Signature SR's. 20014/5/6/27. Well all of them bar 20014, haven't seen that one for ages.

Goodness calm down, I'm sure you know the SR's are terribly unreliable, they are from Redditch which is not a surprise to see them being slugs.
A 16 plate Streetlite would be a better option, they can go faster compared the SR's.

True, but I meant specifically Redditch, then again that'd probably break down too  :P

The number of potential competitors for TfWM contracts has been reduced though with recent Rotala acquisitions

40544? I'm sure that's not got a DDA certificate, hence it always stays on the school's 182.

Someone put the wrong fleet number on machine!
