Why?

Extra bus required for 10 during Pattingham Road closure.

Won't fit round X68.

Fair enough, just thinking longer interurban routes...

Would love to see Central Buses do all of the 35, smarter, newer buses on there. Find it hard to believe how a heavily supported route would have loading issues unless concessionary reimbursement is incredibly low...

Overcrowding issues on 30s?  Certainly not at the Lichfield end...and besides there's not always even a cadet on theresometimes an mpd . And isn't that why you've got old daft deckers? For the 10? What's your take on running unregistered buses on the 74?  A good idea???

The 35 does extremely well thanks. Old daft deckers thanks again. I see your a big Arriva fan! But sometimes we know for fact even the decker isnt big enough.

Why did Arriva previously ditch it then? What's changed from before Midland took it over? And why is the 35B supported?

It looks like an amazing bus to ride on

I've got it now on the 28E, and it's by far the best vehicle I've had on here! (Not a driver, by the way!) It's also got very comfy seats

@DiamondDart the 35B is the old 381 that Heartlands did

@DiamondDart Yes, it was when the 35 had branded E200s around 2013-Mid 2014

The anti Arriva gang haven't got anything better to do on their Friday nights I take it?

I've said before I've seen standing loads on the 10 and 35.

Well of course you have the seats are so filthy noone wants to sit on them

Well on the one occasion a humongous dog had taken up the buggy bag and I hate dogs but normally all the seats are taken by people. I personally wish they'd not put the MPD on the peak journeys but it's not like they came from Travel Express lol. Both the MPD's and DLA's much nicer than the Eclipse 2's that pass my house so its worth the walk. Having 3618 for a while will be even better.

Are you seriously suggesting that any Dart is better than a b7rle?  The daft deckers are rubbish  they break down loads..

Do they? I can't recall the last time the ALX400's broke down?

Bob

They use to be regularly on the back of a tow truck when they ran the 19. The bells didn't work on most of them either  ( which I suspect would make them not roadworthy but this is arriva )
