Id heard 4 Evoras in total for 60. Originally 2x long 2x short but looks like 4 long ones coming

Quote from: Dennis Dart Plaxton Pointer on November 07, 2023, 07:58:50 PMLooks like Chaserider will have another new livery in the style of the new Centrebus livery but with a red front and yellow stripe. No clue if it's branding which is a high possibility or what it'll be for

both these routes aint really suitable for the larger vehicle type, 36 is really  minibus / solo type territory and 19 should be a armoured tank :-) !! 74 826 828 routes are in desperate need for some up to date large capacity vehicles, running 15 to 17 year oldest sheds on ya prime routes aint a good image or good on reliability latley.

ya just carnt rely on them turning up of late, they can obviously afford to not worry about it though as its a rare occasion if owt decent turns up nowadays, A poxy tiny solo again earlier peak time whilst big 44 seaters plod the lanes carrying next to fresh air.

An armoured tank that's about accurate for the 19 along with smash proof windows/doors etc

Before it gets posted elsewhere 1 (YX65 RWK) is the second bus within a week that has become a victim to vandalism on the 19 this evening a window was smashed in Harden (yet again!) on the 18:10 journey ex Bloxwich. I said it last week when I posted about 506 being targeted on Halloween I can't see Chaserider wanting to keep the route if this sort of thing is going to keep happening I know people will say it's common round that area but that is besides the point.

meanwhile on the busy 74 circuits is the oldest & smallest unreliable junk they can find...... I guess they have shafted themselfs in to a 3 year? contract with the 19,who ever tenders for the work probably has no idea what the areas are like.

As I've said before in the NX thread about this, the bus companies need to just refuse to serve the estate after dusk. Doesn't seem to be any point in getting a police escort as they don't appear to be able to do something. They probably need a curfew over there.

I agree 100% something needs to happen before someone whether it be a passenger or a driver are seriously injured/assaulted

Why dont you post it on the other thread & keep all the vandalism stuff in one place?

Briefly mention on here certainly.
