1837 the bus with the driver simulator fitted will be making its first full public appearance next Friday (9/12/22). It will be parked in Bull Yard Coventry most of the day as part of a recruitment campaign

@Tony what was the donor vehicle that gave the interior simulator controls, assuming that it was from an old bus? Is it a Volvo interior on this Scania?
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

All new, no donor vehicle, although it looks Volvo

Just seen 1837 outside West Bromwich bus station, possibly heading to West Brom garage.

Just saw 1837 in West Bromwich, haven't seen this one for some time, it still has a vault ticket machine and printer any ideas why I doubt it will be used again.

Could be training for that as I don't think the Training Fleet have any of that. So maybe whilst they wait for the simulator the new drivers could train and practice how to print of a ticket.
