YW Presidents

[Ashley 4569]

After reading just now that three of BC's new Enviro400's were out in service today. Will YW Preisdent numbers decrease again if 43xx series Tridents are transferred back.

Maybe I've just gone off on a tangent again but I hope they stay in the fleet a bit longer but maybe others have alternative views

Personally I think the presidents have years left yet, and the fact all of WB's and a few AG examples have only just been repainted and refurbed backs that up to some degree. I certainly don't want to see them go even if they do play up when its hot!

All I know is they need to get off the Outer Circle ASAP. And some of them in particular should either be extensively overhauled or put in reserve as they are a disgrace.

They could go to Wolverhampton to replace spectra

Personally I rather enjoy having them on the 11.

Much as I like Spectras, I wouldn't mind Presidents in Wolves either

Good solid bus and love going on them! much prefer to have one than a trident!

I'm also a fan of the Presidents, good solid buses, very little rattles and shakes on them, though in my experience AG ones are better than YW, but then all types of buses in other garages seem better than the YW examples

The Presidents are brilliant buses. It's a shame they can't enter the city (on routes with a high frequency than half hourly), I imagine with the 43**'s moving to Yardley Wood, Presidents would transfer to Dundee and hopefully WB to replace R/S reg mercs

I hope not dundee has had enough already!

There are no plan for replace spectra and running until Dec 2016 only. President won't transferred to WN! Best way to Presidents displaced to NX Dundee for any B10L with poor condition and worn out.

Don't send the Presidents to Wolverhampton, we don't want them!! Spectras will be here for a good few years yet and I would take even the slowest of Spectras over a B7TL President

i want rid of spectras (Apart from 4019) ;)

The presidents since the refurbs are good buses use them occasionally on the 5 shame they can't be used on the 74/75 now I think WB could do with about 4 or 5 more to ensure the 5 stays president operated as well as using them on other services like the 48/49 and 83/89 at WB.
