The Scania that was PG9'd at Lichfield a bit back, and overheated all the time 🤣

2hr gap on the 3 between 15.40 and 17.40 today, another non euro 6 on there from 17.40, 3 days in a row, couldnt make it up 🤣

Nobody wants 199 for how bad it is. Suppose its better than 704 🤣

Isn't the 17 plate additional metro city euro 6, perhaps that's what its been drafted in for, but no doubt it be a Pye green bus like the MMC's and owt else that's half decent, Noted a Volvo wasted on the 841s the last few days, don't get how they are wired on fleet utilization tbh , mini buses on long interurban routes not big enough on capacity and horrendous on reliability, then put a huge Volvo on very narrow lanes which is surely  mini bus ground........  Expect to see the 'NEW RED SCANIA' on Pye greens tomorrow along with the new merto city no doubt lol. Out of all the Pye green buses I seen on Tuesday not one of them had more than 3 or 4 punters on, so solos are ideal for this route and its local to depot for all the breakdowns/ rescue missions too.

All the metrocitys are euro 6 plus all the enviros. I've noticed as soon as a breakdown happens and it comes put after being repaired they always chuck it on the pye greens. Must be either to 'test' them which is daft or its because they have no faith in there repair work. Does make me question how so many of there buses breakdown yet so many other companies including small companies can have 1/2 once ever 3 days or non at all yet chaserider manage to have 3/4 of fleet breakdown in 3 days

Only Pye Green seems to matter fleet allocation wise, don't see why, surely the longer interurban work should be operated with the most current up to date vehicles and ones with the large enough capacities. Perhaps its a free for all each morning the drivers pick the bus they wish to drive lol. Why send your most unreliable old clapped out mini buses on the longest/ hardest work its commercial suicide if you ask me but hey what do I know. Fleet of clapped out solos regular on the 60 and a big Volvo on 841 single track lanes lol, weaselly little Optare still with no working destination blinds on the 74 while full scale vehicles on Pye Green carrying the odd one or two here and there. Could understand the logic if the 25/26 was every hour or so but a bus every few minutes don;t require full heavy weight vehicles, plus the euro 6 set up need to have a good run not keep pootling about, does them no good.
