The last time it got sent away it just sat there. The company couldn't be bothered to look at it and fix it so never got paid for it. Hence why it was away for so long and now been sent away again to actually get fixed. As for 144 they don't know what to do with it atm

144 was actually nice to ride from a passenger point of view. Its a shame that two 64 plate buses are sha##ed 😒

Surprised to catch D&G Solo 124 MX05ENF  on the Chaserider 826 today - sticker saying on hire to chaserider but no working number or destination displays....

Driver pleasant though - are chaserider so short of vehicles that this is out on long journeys ???

That was like the most unreliable Solo ever lol. It went out to replace a breakdown on 70 once and broke down itself

Nope, looks like there was no bus spare to allocate it as 124 did the 10:50 to cannock in which it was meant to do the 9:33 from Lichfeild. Looks like as soon as 124 arrived it got wizzed up to Stafford to fill the missing bus

Aint they always short, for one reason or another, since they started, with the buses breaking down?

Last few months they weren't actually short. They had more buses than needed. Then 572 left so 1 bus down. Then 522 went the other day and buses just started developing issues that aren't a quick fix. E.g. 632 brokedown with no transmition power so that'll be off the road for a while now. 625 was off road for MOT and they were painting it in the new livery but getting the paint in meant it'll be off road an extra 3 days and they were 1 bus down. They were only 4 buses down and was still a bus down off the network

Talking of shortage of buses. New arrivals are ex uno Enviro 200 YX67 UYB &  YX67 UYA which are apparently new purchases for Chaserider and won't be transfered
