Bus Link, Drakelow

was on 71 earlier on the X66, got to say compared to the citaros that arriva use on the competing routes, the solars are a massive upgrade with clean and refurbished interiors. also that they have fully working audio and visual next stop systems.

I've never been on a citaro so I can't comment I went on a ex Cardiff bus scania solar that was at Chaserider which is a BusLink vehicle which was on loan they was nice they sounded amazing. However it's nice to see that they have working next stop announcements, I do need to do a Lichfield to Tamworth run at some point weather it is being on a Buslink run or an arriva run.

YN57FWM on Stafford-Crewe Rail Replacement today via Stoke today - rather a contrast in presentation to YX61FYE of Eminence. Just a pity it left Stafford showing Stafford as the destination, as did JKT'S GO70 JKT.
