Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

Sorry - where is it showing rail rep information?

On the screen inside its rotating through a few things and one of them was mentioning how the service is a rail replacement and will stop at specific rail stops

Hi Simon, has this progressed any, I bet you wish sometimes you'd never embarked with this project having to deal with the total incompetent government department

The IVA inspections have happened for the vehicles listed above.  

They all passed.  I believe two are picked up at Stanwell and the other 2 plus the 6 Custom Dennings are either at Burton or Tividale.

There are further IVA dates coming up for the "Staffordshire" vehicles.  

Once they have passed their IVA.  The paperwork goes to DVLA to register the vehicles.  This can take a month to register.

We will pick this up with the driver.  We are waiting on Ticketer to send the software live for the Ticket Machine to drive the Nextstop display.

So that includes redditch, and Kidderminster?

Yes, we can now operate them anywhere.  In either depot we would need to consider how we charged the vehicles and what we used them on.  In Redditch there isn't a single bus working that the buses could go out and last all day.  Therefore they wouldn't save a PVR.  In Kidderminster - they could operate schools, but otherwise likewise there isn't a single bus working that they could stay out all day and operate.

So would they just sit as spares in tividale when the dennings are legal or is there some sort of plan in place?

Hello Simon

I would like to know if both LJ09 KPF and LJ09 KPA are now withdrawn please as one of your drivers has reported it withdrawn on Bustimes.

And if it's okay with you am I allowed to know why it was withdrawn?
