Hey there
Just wondered it says 31405 (P406 MLA) is withdrawn on the fleet list but it arrived for the 9:50am 146 departure this morning :l
Is it DDA complaint this bus also?
Thanks

All of that batch are meant to be withdrawn according to the fleetlist, but most of them are still in service.

There are also vehicles at Diamond the have been sold & removed off the companies fleetlist some time ago but are still in service

Surely that doesn't comply with emissions?
Vinh if the second number in the fleetnumber is a 1 or 2 then it is not DDA compliant.

Dont think theyre DDA I went on one on the 146 last week and they do look dated with lt moquette on the ceiling.....

I don't think the LEZ applies to the 146 because the frequency is less than every half an hour. Like the 83 and 89 which can still have 0405Ns on it.

I think the 146 has been mismanaged over the years tho surely there is a market for a 146 which runs at convenient times?

It runs at the most unusual times ever

first journey being at like 6:40am or something then next one 9:50
10:35 to 14:35 on the hour then gap then 16:35 last journey
didnt it use to be frequent

Used to be every 20 mins I think, First must have given up on it

wonder if the 146 does a school trip  in the gaps

First and Worcestershire County Council gave up on the 146. The 146 did run Every 20 then for some reason it stopped when to every 30 then every 1hr.
With every problem London Midland had they would have made a bomb, but they didn't think of it.

It does hence the gap
It does C1 and B1 i believe for both bromsgrove and redditch new college
Explains why there is a additional journey departing 9:15 from West Heath Man on the Moon

Any news of any more withdrawals since the b7rle's have entered service at Tividale, I haven't saw S396HVV for a while i guess it could have followed S393HVV and been withdrawn. I guess other buses being released are R530/2YRP with R532YRP being on loan to select bus.
