TF unusual working on Tuesday:

2719 on 23
3468 on 25
3489 on Staff Shuttle
3747 on 481
481-branded Pulsar on 33/55

2730 broken down this morning. Replaced on 33/55 by 3468.

Such a fuss over nothing as far as I can see -.-

I still don't get why you make such a fuss over the looks of a bus...

I mean, if this was the case, wouldn't you have something to say about the majority of Wright's pre-millenium bodies having exactly the same style, where there's a lack of flare? What would you rather: boxy and bland designs like the Commander and Cadet; or Wright's attempts of creating a range of buses that have a sense of styling?

Furthermore, what would you prefer: a Streetlite that looks revolting but works and runs; or a bus that's 'good-looking' but breaks down constantly?

4810 seen out of service in the bus station this morning, before being taken on the 12.

Meanwhile, 2273 sounding awful on a ride on the 23. 2135 parked in Stand A with its back to the station, and 3310 operating the 25. Also, Shropshire CC Solo 6007 operating the 24 today.

What's wrong with the looks of a bus?

3618 back out on 55 today.

Its probably with 3617/9 wherever they are.  Head office possibly?  A right waste they were really good. 3619 was quite unreliable though it had lots of problems.

3617 is at wardles

Is it possible that 3618/9 are there/heading there in the near future?

Makes sense with the upcoming order of 25 StreetLites.

With the Centros going, what will be the replacements in the Shrewsbury end? StreetLites again?

I was talking more about if anybody had seen 3618 since it was in Telford... Not Cannock's allocations...

The Versas are really nice as well, unless they're hoovering really bad, in which case they'll make a massive racket.


Has anybody seen 3618 recently? Haven't seen it myself for a while - possibly gone to another depot perhaps? :/

3717 is perfectly fine I think! The scanias are fab as well -- i just hope they do a last day like they did with the falcons!

They really have to go by Feb 2015? I thought they'd legally keep! Besides, aren't the Scanias going by Feb 2015?

Maybe Stafford doesn't have enough money to run the 825?
