Quote from: 979 on June 02, 2024, 10:52:55 PMThe 120 was a 10mins service with Diamond and went straight down Hagley Rd, Currently the  12 on a 15 mins service already has a standing load before it even gets to Bearwood. In reality this is no good for drivers, passengers or NX.
The 120 always worked when it was every 10 minutes with single deckers, it's only since they've messed them round, renumbered them and interworked them and messed the frequency they now struggle. Shouldn't have messed with something that wasn't broke.

They all going together or just the 03s? I'd also assume they'd replace them with E400 MMCs, right?

No, I think it would probably just be the 53 plates as I think most aren't euro 6
But dont quote me on that I don't know

Quote from: BBS on June 02, 2024, 03:26:43 PMAnd you also have AG and I believe YW and WN who still have non euro 6 laying around
WN I might be wrong don't have any Non Euro 6 buses, not sure if the Hybrids that aren't Diesel are Euro 6 but they aren't going to be withdrawn, probably Converted, 4449, 4535, 4595-4599 4627-4628 4631-4632 are all Euro 6. The MMC's are Euro 6, B7's are Euro 6, E200's and E400's are Euro 6 I'd imagine the StreetLites are to
Local Routes

Not the first, 4466 & 4467 were the first, but yes, all that batch will go this month. The lease on them expires this month and Dawson Group have sold them all to Go-Ahead group. They are due to be split between Go Midlands & Go South

cris 99

Oh ok very informative as usual thanks for the info. I had forgotten about 4466/67 🙄

Go Midlands? Is that what they're calling the Oxford quartet of operations now? Unless GA are opening a actual Midlands operation?
