Sunny Travel

[Trident 4194]

What all over green, wouldn't really call it a livery just a coat of paint.

Better than travel express though I guess

I would call it a livery, based on the ye olde duck test..If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Better than travel express though I guess

97% of operators are better than Travel Express

One could say the same about any 1 colour livery, FGW, Diamond, Black Diamond, Midland Red, TfL buses and Western Greyhound (last livery). But it is a livery and identity that isn't uno's so I wouldn't knock it to much.

Yes but half of those are recognisable a layer of green paint, IMO isn't really recognisable what with smaller operators not having a livery. Although fair play for having the company names applied.

After some technical difficulties a second daf should be in service tomorrow

@Steveminor
Haven't seen other DAF on 71E
only seen LF52TKJ with other darts today

[Steveminor]

I'm on traffic Warden duties today. So I have no idea on what went out sorry.

Ex WG and GAL cadets going dirt cheap at Stafford bus centre?

I don't know about these DAFs, but the stuff which came from Western Greyhound that Ensign were selling was cheap for good reason. They were absolutely battered to sh*t, probably cosmetically the worst bunch of buses I have ever seen.

Rode LF52TKJ today 1200 from Chelmsey wood

really nice ride 10/10

@Steveminor does secondary doors work on all 4 cadets or is it just front ones?

[Steveminor]

That has been the main issue with them. None of the doors worked when they arrived & neither did the ramps. That is being fixed & all will work before entering service.
Since the wheel chair bay is by the Centre doors they must work to be dda compliant.

Another Cadet has entered service today LF52TX? (forgot the last letter) seen it heading for Solihull around 11:50am

So is there a connection between Sunny and Social Travel then?  Kinda lost track...

part of the same group sunny social &discount travel sunny in
One yard social & discount in the other @Steveminor  would be best to ask

[Steveminor]

Kind of same group but they are separate companies. Sunny travel owned by 2 brothers. One brother also owns discount travel the other owns social travel. Everything is kept separate though & if a bus changes from one to another it is legitimately purchased not just swapped liveries.
Hope that clears things up

And where do you fit in with respect to the 3 companies, Steve?
