Tony ,do you have tomorrow lottery numbers  as some of todays  pictures were taken next week 22 end December 2019

How come ticket machine & radio are different to the Dundee ones

In Dundee we have ticketter  machines and no radios .We use the ticket machine to get in touch with control ,sort of texting.

Its back up and running. I too had difficulty getting on last weekend. Must have been some technical trouble.

Forgot to mention 7013 has been withdrawn ,and is being used for spares.

Wrightbus have entered administration, Blaming less buses being built for the uk  market.

Thanks tony , Its just that I noticed 2116 was back in crimson livery.

No I mean WEST MIDLANDS BUS  the new one that group together Diamond and National Express.

Has Birmingham scrapped the west midlands livery? Its just that all the repaints are in the national express livery .

As you said they have got green bus funding to convert another 10.

 I dont think they will convert the 06 plates for adblue and then have them sitting in fife all day.

Currently, the buses that have been retro-fitted with adblue in the Dundee fleet are: 4700, 4703, 4706, 4707, 4708, 4710, 4717, and are intended for the Douglas route - but you'll be lucky if you see 3 of them there a day. Only 9 out of the 17 47-- batch were actually in service today - yet only 2 of the natives (7001-7018) were off. Perhaps this implies the 47-- Gemini's are not as reliable, and/or not preferred by the steering wheel attendants?

The 20-- B7RLEs do not get a retrim when repainted - only a fresh coat of paint.

I'm positive Dundee have got funding for a further 10 Euro 6 conversions - I can only assume they'll start working their way through the Euro 5 B7RLEs next.

Fleet numbers 7011 -70184681-4686  Are the allocated buses to us on the fife schools .Each one of the 7011 etc. in turn is getting a full retrim ,The seats are threadbare and all are badly needing it. Fife council have a 15 year rule on contract buses so it will be interesting to see what we get next term.

In Dundee our 54 plates are getting a refurb seats  and paintwork.

Why has 4674 been painted in the old blue and white  livery ,rather than the new style ?

Fleet Nos C451 ETC.

BF63 ZSY Is now here .
