^{Could you take a look to see why the driver of}
_{32325 on the 18.09 journey from Walsall took it on themselves to omit the Blackheath Sainsbury's stop?}

This is not a one off occurrence either. I've waited 40 mins before because the driver decided he didn't want to serve the Sainsbury's stop

Simon did you ever look into buying the electric buses off ADL or Yutong or was the plan always to buy the Custom Denning?

I have sent this to the appropriate Operations Manager for them to review and action appropriately.  Thank you.

At the time the ADL product was something like 36 seats, 9 standing and used BYD technology.  It was clear this was a not a long term solution and therefore not a viable option.

We reviewed the Yutong product.  Our PLC Board who made the decision at the time, had huge concerns over acquiring Chinese products.
