Standing capacity on the B8 is much more as well

First's GB Kites in Leicester can have up to 57 standing with 33 seated 😮

And the use of electroliners on the 31 whilst diesels operate on the 50 has started to spread away from Sundays. Absolutely no excuse on a Saturday given there is neither peak only boards and buses remain on the same services all day.

8002 has been at St Margaret's this morning receiving attention and looking at bustimes.org it appears that 4535 has deputised for it to avoid a missed service.

If bustimes is to be believed then 8001 had a trip on the 127 this morning.

8001 - BK73 ACX – Arriva Midlands – bustimes.org

From what I gather they're utilising one on the 127 peak only board to see how it performs.

Looks like the first 4 electro liners are in service today.

36620 (BN24 ZWG) is the 5th one out on the 4 replacing 33718.

same over in the East Mids
4200 and 4205 have no working side signs,
4217 has had only part of the front sign working for ages,
4416 has had the rear sign broken for at least 6 weeks.

Hi @Simon@Arriva  just wondering if Arriva still maintain timetables/cases around Leicester or is it down to LCC as my stop and a few others locally used to have timetables at them but no longer do.

That makes a lot of sense with regards to investment. The only Midlands region sapphires now are the 110 from Tamworth I believe.

Actually Derby still has sapphire 38 Enviro400's
Thurmaston depot have the 158 sapphire pulsars
Wigston depot have sapphire B9TLS some still with X3 branding and 10 unbranded B7tls (previously branded for Oadby 31/31A) although they are hardly ever on the X3 and occasionally a few are on 31/31A usually the Wigston sapphires are on 44/44A or 49's
