Service changes June 2025

[Jack]

Drivers haven't been trained on 66 plates apparently so it won't happen

They don't need to they are the same bus. Same dashboard and vehicle, AG have had 66 plates on loan before!

That's rubbish there's no separate training

Acocks Green had 6835, 6852 on loan a few years back. They didn't have no issues then, also isnt the cab same as the horde of e400mmcs and E200mmcs they have already?

[Sh4318]

Most likely 7535,7536,7537,7538 as I'd imagine Tony would want to keep it linear

saying this, we have 6995 and 6997 at BC

Those are just 4 vehicles though, Judging what golden squid said, 8 buses roughly concludes including 6995 and 6997 to the transfers

There's a possibility that 1 or 2 68 plates going to ag since they already have 6951

It's a shame they can't slot in a few shorter workings. Maybe Fox and goose or clock garage.

Was talking to another about it recently, it'd work so well imo. But it'd seem nx have became "scared" of timetabled short journeys - it's worked well in the past.

I am certain that if it was from city the departures were:
xx:00 94 | xx:05 95E Fox & Goose | xx:10 95 |  xx:15 94 | xx:20 95E Fox & Goose | xx:25 95 | 
xx:30 94 | xx:35 95E Fox & Goose | xx:40 95 |  xx:45 94 | xx:50 95E Fox & Goose | xx:55 95 | 

something like that could be done to the 97 as well, as thats a route that defo needs more buses, even if it was to heartlands hospital or even Stechford

Then why did you say something about how they can't use 66 plates then, I swear I remember you replying to my comment before about why they can't use it
