No, only one reported broken tonight

Did bus number 1 not get a broken window yesterday?

Theres gonna be nothing euro 6 left by the end of next week at this rate

Well a Solo SR replaced the E200 on 19 so they must be getting desperate 😄

[Bob]

I dont know why they specify decent ish buses in the tender for the 19. They could run a smoking National round there and it wouldnt matter, the kids are probably breathing in their mums crackpipe fumes anyway

apparently not from what I hear a driver that was doing the 5 duty the other evening said he asked the traffic office if he could take a another Euro 6 bus and was told in so many words NO! it HAS to be the bus off the 19 which is most cases is either 505/6 and I'm told he did ask well if push comes to shove I could take a Telford bus to which the Chaserider depot manager intervened and said that "under no circumstances must a Telford bus be used on there"....... It makes you wonder if Chaserider would know how to organise a pee up in a brewery....

i would presume its because its got the telford branding on the vehicle so probably not put on there for that reason, Wonder if the new liveried evoras will end up on the 19.....  investment in vehicles is needed on the interurban network 74/826/828 is mega unreliable of late with failing old knackers daily. Has there been a managment change at Cannock recently certain routes to be going to pot.

It takes about 30 min to replace a window, why would that be out of service

They (TfWM) don't specify 'decent-ish' buses, just vehicles that meet Euro 6 emissions standards.

But that's why bus companies take out insurance policies.

[Mayfield]

I doubt they would claim on the insurance due to excess

My comment was about the number of buses out of service, which should only be 1 as the previous days' should have been fixed
