[fleetline6477]

4778 on 334

Is that usually Dart operated ?, as I know doubles work the 19 & 10

MPD,Solos and Full size darts usually but The ALX400 DAF's have been appearing on there quite a bit recently

How come

4801 was on there today I rode it on the 1535 Bilston - Bradford Place very smart inside and out and a comfortable ride.

So far yes it is. Dart on a Dart route is not really unusual Nathan branded or not! (It is Wednesfield Garage ;))

Well - in my opinion it is an unusual working, because they have steps - think when step buses were dwindling in Shrewsbury - you'd often see them on less busy routes (8, 2, etc.) Considering a lot of people get on, especially with buggies and trolleys, etc., it is not practical, and you wouldn't think that they'd put it on there :)

It is practical in the case of pushchairs they can fold em up, what did people do previously? Step entry buses are loads comfier I find

[Trident 4609]

4851 on the 19 with 4804 on the 10

[nitromatt1]

4851 on the 19 with 4804 on the 10

Just to add 4851 is branded for route 10

Well, let's get this cleared up... The ELC Scanias have NO luggage bays. So, where are you going to put the buggy? And what if it's one of those big ones that you can't fold up? How are you going to get on? And, even if you could fold it up, it would take about 5 minutes - thus being late. And if you were to say about the Plaxton Scania, that only has 1 tiny luggage bay... So practical? I'd say not! Shrewsbury are now lucky to have no step buses - they are nice, but NOT practical - start thinking of others for a change with these step buses is what I'd say. Thank you! *Rant over* Now have a nice day

Both 10-branded Tridents were off route today - 4854 was on the 19, and 4851 was on the 334!

To be fair people always had to fold up buggies?? My mistake about the luggage racks but most step entry buseshad them, as steppers can be used  til 2015 it isnt a 'right' that people have!
