Leicester deckers

[leepenfold30]

ALX400s are they going to another depot or Withdrawning them
I remember Thurmaston had Lowlanders before 5 Years ago when they had branding for 126/127 route

It be good for Thurmaston to get Lowlanders after 5 Year absence I wonder if they go on 104 158

[Trident 4609]

Thats good news for passengers then. Although aren't they exactly same chassis so in theory should be just as unreliable lol? The seating in the alx ones isdaft downstairs isnt it? I wonder if they'll get rid of wednesfields too at the same time..they dont really need deckers...

Tbh I wold keep the two ELC Tridents then get rid of the ALX400 DAF's

Aren't the Lowlanders due to go to Arriva Cymru?

The tridents have got the worst legroom ive ever seen lol. And jesus ugly or what lol

But certainly some of the fastest tridents I have rode. Especially 4854 which was mega fast on the 19 this afternoon (Surprisingly OK load).  But have to agree about the terrible legroom ;)

[Bob]

A decent load must be a rare thing on it though

Tony, 4701-4716 are going to Arriva Cymru but some are going to Thurmaston and (I think) other areas of Arriva Midlands.

Not really,a common sight during rush hour into Wolves at least. And I saw a almost full ALX400 upstairs and down about 3PM this afternoon on the school run. There are a lot of people from my school who use the 19

[Bob]

Not for much longer lol. Out if interest lowlanders going to other areas of arriva midlands? ??

Will just mean the 89 will become jam packed o the brim once again I the afternoons

[Bob]

Oh well it was always busier than the 19 anyway.  I wonder if Wednesfield will receive some lowlandersto waste on their empty services lol

[arrivaaston]

The lowlanders 4701-4716 are going to Arriva Wrexham, and I'd imagine the remaining lowlanders will head to Thurmaston and be swapped with the wright eclipse gemminis?

[stuartn]

Thurmaston depot are keeping all their pulsar geminis as South Wigston depot are due some new buses to replace the lowlanders.

The remaining lowlanders should transfer to Thurmaston to replace their Alx400's.

[arrivaaston]

Then more alx400's to hose then, I wouldn't of thought they'd scrap as they've only recently been refurbished, especially the W/8/Y reg ones unless other regions of Arriva are going to be getting them

Probably Wednesfield knowing Arriva for their empty routes
