Wishful Fleet Changes/Bad Fleet Changes

[leicesterbusadventurer]

If you want to rant about any bad fleet additions and allocations or anything they should have done but didn't, just pop all your thoughts in here. This can be from any time, even if the problem has since been solved.

Shame that 2730 left Telford last summer. Absolutely lovely bus

I feel like the Enviro 400s at BC & WB should be allocated to certain routes and be the only type of bus on that route. Referring to the 5, 60, 80/A mainly. I know in reality, it's probably impossible.

I don't really like how the Gemini's have been split up, my OCD is on hyper drive just thinking about it. Again, I'm aware there are reasons behind it

This is an Arriva only topic, I don't know much about NXWM (which I think this is) but you can set one up on their discussion if you wish.

Solis on Sapphire services and any interurban service. Do they ever last the whole journey without breaking down

That second one's nothing, Leicester's depots like sending them on their longest routes every now and then (29 for Thurmaston, X84 for Wigston). This is happening while Thurmaston are putting DDs on the Drayton Manor/Twycross Zoo services they're running for the next month and hardly anyone's using them because they leave so early.

Aren't the times of the Drayton Manor bus based around what time the rides open? Probably an early start as it's a long way to Tamworth via Nuneaton or Coalville.

How do you know how many people are using them?

That's probably right but all the same, I'd have to camp at SMBS the night before to be there before 8 in the morning, which is why I had a rough estimate that hardly anyone is using them, proved correct on Monday when someone posted on the Facebook to praise the driver on the duty, and said it was just her and her partner.

Good job they don't just pick up from SMBS then.

Well, I don't live anywhere the Coalville or Hinckley corridors so I'd have no choice.
