Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

[Simon Dunn]

I think a solo would be better for service 22 the a sprinter.

I am currently on MetroCity 30995 on the 9 and there coolant leaking at the back and it's dripping everywhere.

Burton does not need any more buses nor does it need a Solo.

Simon in the event of driver being innocent 
Pass on his details to the driver so he can prosecute him for making false allergations

Until we have this compliment of vehicles, the 356 will be diverted. 

Hi Simon

In one of our last messages you said that the Diversion off High Grove Road was temporary until new vehicles arrive, however it seems that tfgm have publically said the route is changing (https://assets.ctfassets.net/nv7y93idf4jq/6dOnQ1dsbsiSLqcaI25WJl/80f7416c71d32d400794da19837de1cb/356_25-SC-0164.pdf). Can you comment on if this is still temporary, or if it is now permanent?

Also, in regards to these mellor stratas in July, are they the gen one Mellor stratas or gen two - and will they still only have 1 wheelchair bay?

Also, can I ask what has happened to the Fiat Ducato Mellor Orion's? As they haven't been out for weeks. TIA

We expect to acquire 15 electric buses.  We need a number of Illesbuses circa 5, and we need around 15 double decker.  There this is 35 vehicles out of a total circa 50.   

We continue to assess what vehicles will be here after that point - as it depends upon retained/ new work.

The driver operated late.  He lost time both nights at the same time.  He will be interviewed within the next 24 hours to establish why.

I am advised by our Commercial Director for the North West that.

"As the end date of the temporary change is unknown, the publicity has been updated to reflect this as being the route. When the vehicles arrive, the route will revert to previous."
 
The July Mellors will have one wheelchair bay.

Thank you.

I have circulated your comments to the depot OM for him to investigate.

The vehicles were part of the Residual fleet we took on as part of Tranche 3.

I am advised by the North West team, that they are VOR at Fiat waiting parts which are on backorder and have been for some time.

Thank you for your responses Simon, may I ask how come Diamond uses Mellor vans on the 356 during the week, when larger midi buses like your enviro 200 MMCs have been used previously?

I am advised we stopped using the E200's due to the amount of incidents we were having at the right turn at the bridge in Greenfields.
