Quote from: Wba_lad on April 11, 2024, 04:43:45 PMApparently Chaserider have 2 new buses, 328 being a optare solo SR in the new Centrebus orange and blue livery which is apparently on the 60. The second one is 998 which is a scania K230UB Wright Solar but on the DVSA website the vehicle is showing as SORN. Anyone know what these are and if they are true please.

60 was one bus short for some period of the day as one evora was whipped off it and put on pye green leaving the 60 1 bus down.  also the 63 regular knacked solo failed in Rugeley again,,, causing chaos with the traffic lol . surely they dont need any more poxy solos the ones they have seem to be problomatic on reliablilty - one old solo was towed in also from Uttoxeter last night too as seen it hooked up to a tow truck,  625 seems to of dissapeared aswell unless its finally in the body shop as it looks so unkept externally . Lot of them ex arriva volvo's seem to be constantly failing leaving 2 hour gaps on 826 828 routes too on a regular basis. Hear a rumor the 826 is being dumped soon too guess folk are fed up of being left stranded when the service is failing to operate on regular basis with end of life buses not up to the job.

Probably keenly priced now as non e6 compliant , and fits the age profile of buses on that set of routes already,  but it looks abit tidier than that old white volvo  :laugh:

625 is fine now. It had a load of money spent on it doing the panels etc after it had its MOT done

Well 747 is euro 6 so could potentially be used on Walsall stuff.

Further acquisition from Birmingham Busworks is ADL Enviro 200, YX11CNY - this had been for test at Chaserider, and after much interest whilst there, was purchased.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

Anyone know if theres any truth in the rumours that the 826 is gonna be axed. Mad to think, back in the day the 825 ( as was) was one of MRN/Arruva's most important routes. They even reibtroduced the expreas version which gave sone of the route 3 buses an hour!
