Peak 1s get very busy hence the doubled frequency, the only route I can think of would be the 58. I should imagine though that like 731 they won't even install a WM ticket system, as fun as it would be seeing 734 on a route the Outer Circle!

It needs a ticket machine for the JLR contract.

One is being fitted Thursday

Glad to hear that, hopefully it will sneak into service at some point even if it is just the peak 1Es.

When 731 came down, they were still using the Wayfarers, different ticket machine, different set up!

So what? 731 had already had a wayfarer installed with Dundee, so in theory less work would have been needed with 731 than will be to convert 734 to INIT.

Maybe Dundee's fleet are getting Init machines fitted and they're doing them by sending one by one to the West Midlands....
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Considering they gave up on 731 and know what to do on 734, your theory is obviously wrong.

Gave up? I'm pretty sure the engineers know how to modify electrical systems on buses....
Neither CG nor Phoenix Group contracts needed a machine so why waste time.

Nothing to do  with giving up. Because 731 was only ever intended to stay in Birmingham as 2 month cover until the new buses were in service Dundee didn't want the wiring changing. 734 requires a ticket machines so Init are coming to AG on Thursday to fit both 731 and 4530 which has been off the road for several months but is now fixed

Is this the Solihull JLR shuttle that Silverline used to operate @Tony with Small Single Deckers?
Castle Bromwich was operated by Travel Decourcey Deckers?

If its the Solihull JLR shuttle that they are being used on the JLR travel website says this is the timetable?

734 is for an internal service within Gaydon plant. Silverline used a non PSV 8 seater, but JLR have requested the E200

Looks like I am fetching a vehicle bought second hand for AG next week

Is this additional to 734 - or is NXWM paying XPlore Dundee for 734?
