Typical arriva supposed to be allocated to a certain set of routes unless you are in with the crowd (smells like ****) always was the same conviently the buses were in for inspection or service when the new buses went on the 74/75 and i ended up with crap the they popped up less then an hour later on another route.

yes i agree but if they are supposed to be allocated to a route make sure they are on it (subject to maintence issues) or route brand them and keep them off other routes it annoys me seeing a branded bus not on its route why bother spending all that money as many experianced posters know allocate buses as per passenger need
