I dont know why they dont put em on 35A/36 & utilise the B8s on 74/826/828 instead of having almost  daily multiple failures

631 definitely wouldn't last on the 74/828/826, it struggles around the 35A recently every day it's been struggling and will randomly loose power, I think it's shoved on the 35A because they think there isn't many hills but there is a hill on it which isn't a steep hill compare to some hills Chaserider serve, 632 did have some work done to it which made it pretty rapid however I've not seen it or been on it for a while so not too sure if it's still rapid or not. 630 is still off the road due to a engine issue but I've heard it's due to return back in service soon with a brand new engine and brand new gear box apparently.

The Changes aren't silly when children are hacking or pretending to be drivers here to say that some NX's plattys are open Top. When rubbish like that is posted editing Tony's updates and other NX Drivers or staff updates. Then only Tony and other NX staff should be allowed to edit it makes sense they know more than most of us. I wouldn't have known for example 4696 was on loan until I've seen it here from Tony himself. Or until we see the Veichle ourselves

Went on bus times and 6744 was tracking as the first bus on the 4 service. Definitely a mistake as double deckers cannot run on that service.

If you have a look at the map you will see it clearly isn't. 

It's not a 'mistake' the 4 is always used to check replacement ticket machines and new destination programming as it is the easiest service number to type in.

Possibly the size of bus required is included in the contracts although I'm not sure if there is much difference between a B8 and an E200.

36 is required volvo capacity due to the school run in Lichfield. 35A can be anything tho
