Quote from: Magikrabby on August 12, 2024, 03:36:41 PMOn 13 July those two were parked up at Cannock along with a mystery third. They were fitted with seatbelts which I expect will be removed. Apparently they are waiting for next stop announcements to be fitted, and after that will be in service
According to bus lists on the web only 4 have been ordered. I was told that 7 were due

The 36 is on a diversion not serving stonall not too sure as of why yet I'm assuming roadworks as per usual.

That old white volvo got pulled off 828 and stuck on 36 to replace 1 in Lichfield earlier, leaving quite a gap on 828. I bet the passengers waiting for it were happy lol. 

Anyone know when the other 2 door Streetlites going to re enter service?

I've heard good things about the MCV Evora's with Chaseliner but bad things about MCV so how good are there MCV Evora's are they better than the new Wright bodywork on the Volvo's I always considered Wrights and Volvo to be the perfect combination absolutely solid buses.

Couldn't fault the Evora's to be honest. The MCV Evolution's are extremely poor. Honestly wish the evora's came around sooner than they did

Stagecoach has a number of those on the T4 in South Wales. Super reliable buses,but given they can do Cardiff to Newtown in a day-and I think back-they have to be. 
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.
