Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

[Simon Dunn]

Hi Simon,

Can you advise if  the Custom Dennings at Stanwell will all be blue (as per 39004) or is each to have a different base colour as with the Streetlites on the Bedfont Lakes services, please?

Many thanks

Mark

I believe we will now use the vehicles on Hoppa.  We have yet to discuss/ action what we are going to do on branding.

Not sure if this is the right place but on bustimes.org service 63 is shown as departing from Stand A in Wolverhampton. It has departed from stand J for at least 5 years.

Thank you - we will action this.

What buses do Preston Bus plan to use on the Lancashire council contracts they have gained?

I understand the contract award has been brought forward to July in part.

On award we agreed to acquire 5 x 8.8 E200MMC and 2x 9.7 E200MMC.  The overall PVR is 8.

These vehicles will not arrive in time for commencement.  So the contract will start with current vehicles.  We expect delivery August/ September.

Simon can I suggest something to you being you come to burton and ride on the 22 and asking the passenger on there opinion on the Minibuses being on the 22s because me complaining is making me look bad to you and diamond and I don't really want that.

On bustimes.org, service 64 Wolverhampton-Penn (Wakeley Hill) is shown as departing from both stand G and J. It should be Stand J.

Thanks Simon.

Certainly 39004 seems to have made itself at home on the H2X.  I'd just assumed that this was to help build up mileage and iron out any bugs.  The inclusion of luggage racks was a shrewd move!

Simon According to bustimes the old private plate that where on 31429,31428 & 31430 have been taken off now is this correct or has someone been messing around with it!

31428 - FL14 OAO (KW14 MCL)
31429 - FL14 OBB (JB14 MCL)
31430 - YY64 YKC (JB64 MCL)

I have rode as a passenger on a number of these vehicles.  We have a difference of opinion on the passenger experience

This is correct.

I know when it was Midland Classic they always used a specific E200 on 22s because it was just right for the service I think it had 29 seats on it.
