more small old optare junk    wonder what interurban work these be dumped on to.....  74/828 seems to struggle to keep the 2 new evoras on allocation, a right array of old junk and solos again Saturday, and most the week again

Funny how you're calling the Sr junk but you have the name solonightrider 😂

A loan do you think?

From what I can work out it's a transfer. Was told we were getting 14 plate SR's as other depots get newer buses

These do help a bit tbf as they're the full sized SR's not the arriva sized ones. Yes I know not full sized singles like the b7's or b8's but its better than 128 size bus. Dont think we reckon the b7's will get withdrawn tho and they will stay just wont be used for the 74's as the 74 plate evoras are the b7's replacement

You've got another 5 Evora's on order remember

I dunno, the B7s are like 17 years old now, and pretty tired. Breaking down a bit. One was  literally blocking the Aldi junction at Hednesford last week for hours till the low loader turned up lol

74 Plate evoras always missing off the 74/828 most days this week again. ones been on 60 again. Presume all the unrelaible scrap isnt allowed near the 60,  Even sundays new evoras are rare on the 828 when there is low pvr. A 16 year old dirty rattle box e200 was last Sundays offering . Guess the 74 will part company with the 828 cycle soon as the new evoras arrive then. Full size SR is still only 30 ish seats minibus territory, totally unsuitable for busy interurban work.

Last week was down to all evoras staying in the depot as all were getting a deep clean, 638 is off the road atm, but usually on a Sunday all evoras are out which is 6 with normally 5202 a couple of Telfords and 496-497-498 and 499 are normally on stand by as spare busses,  the net evoras that are due are to replace the old Volvos and they are due to start arriving this month so hopefully by the end of may they should all have been delivered and in service, they are struggling on the yard with space so at least 5 old buses will be leaving.
