Arriva Burton

[arrivaaston]

Never see any threads about Burton, what do people think of Arriva Burtons Fleet?

[Bob]

Better than Cannocks lol. I still dont see why the 1 gets to have deckers

[arrivaaston]

I can't believe 2299 has been scrapped :( that was a decent bus better than MPD's, and Burton can be like cannock lol as we saw on Saturday and MPD on the 7 :o!!

Nothing wrong with Burtons fleet in general...

Cue Discodave...

[Bob]

yea but the sb120s & sb200s are in loads better condition

[arrivaaston]

I agree Burton have a decent fleet but I'm just not sure an MPD is ideal for the 7, and the sb120's are in better nick than 3 of Cannocks but I think they were refurbed when they came from London and the sb200's are better than cannocks, agreed nakes you wonder why can't cannock refurb their 4 yet burton can do all of theres

[Bob]

yea not. just the fact they been refurbed tho mate is it? there 52 plate 200s also dont sound no where near as rough as cannocks yet there used on a much more demanding long dist service!

Its Bob whom hates them they were once good buses but after years of driving them I hated them they were not put up to long distance routes which Arriva mainly run but you know that Tamworth (your area) have a fleet for the job except the Mercs according to the Tamworth thread.

[arrivaaston]

have burton still got the 3 V/KDA darts hat were once cannocks?

[Discodave]

2288 is now at Wednesfield seen that one.

I saw three of Burton's deckers today - a "route 1" branded on the 2, another "route 1" branded on the 3 and the unbranded one on the 1. One day last year all three branded were actually on the 1 but it hasn't lasted!
