Vehicle Transfers

[Tony]

@Tony decides - such is his power and influence 

Yes, It is based on several factors. The main one is to keep as few vehicle types, even sub-types, at each garage. You will see some swaps happening in the next week to eliminate a sub type from a garage.

If possible I will always try to keep fleetnumber blocks together on newer buses. When garages were told to 'move 3 Metrobuses' you could guarantee the three ropiest buses moved, by choosing by fleetnumber shows no preference  between garages.

Other things can decide some moves. for instance YW needed a bus to replace 4544, but with nothing immediately available from Coventry 4539, which was due to be withdrawn, moved from WN to see out the last three months of its MoT until something better can be found.

Ive always wondered, (Excluding Euro 6 etc)
how are decisions made on
A) which bus is moving
B) where a bus moves from / too ?

No not 67xx I mean 69xx 6955 to 6959

[cris 99]

I don't think 4 extra platinums will be enough for the 74

Well if pb give 6960 to 6964 to wb and covertry give 6965 6966 6967 to wb

Well if pb give 6960 to 6964 to wb

But they're not and even that would be nowhere near enough for the 74

1801 withdrawn? I'm guessing this is due to a rotten Chassis?

you missed the point that was an example, what i was after is how do decide Bus (A) is to be transferred, why not Bus (B) or (C) is it a mileage thing ?
