Why not just do what @MW AMD @John did and go work for NX. I'm sure there are more members on here who were enthusiasts and then was drivers

If it only were that easy ! I wouldn't mind donating time and IT experience, I'm not yet learned on the driving aspect sadly.

You could do it for a year and then knock it on the head.

I'm going in with the intention of doing it for a year, if I really like it I may carry on.

It really is that simple.

Do it two years, saves on your money if you leave, don't want NX stealing out your wallet, so to speak.

What was wrong with 6708?

not sure someone on forum spotted it empty to depot
and 4944 replaced it

[JoNi]

It was being driven by a driver turning left from Deritend High Street into Coventry Road at 07:30ish

So what buses will be leaving BC this week @Tony and will we see the sluggish 4895 - 4913 on Pershore Rd routes?

You'll have to wait & see what leaves BC, I'm not allowed to post future moves, but I suspect the remaining boards on the 24 & 60 will be priority to get E400s

There are some transfer due this week I haven't seen anyone guess at/forecast!

Although 10 buses should enter service 10 won't leave as extras are required for the ODI Cricket on 9th June

Ok Tony, will wait and see. Will sure be a summer of transfers, be interesting to see what happens...
I reckon 4315 - 18 may go to PL. Shame if they do, the 41s and 43s are our best buses in my opinion.

There is a right chain going to happen
4 buses BC-garage 1
3 buses garage 1 - garage 2 (+1 withdrawn)
3 different buses garage 2 - garage 3
1 bus garage 3 - garage 4 (+2 withdrawn)
1 bus at garage 4 withdrawn

A lot of work goes into the cascade plan, so 4 new buses at BC replace 1 at garage 1, 2 at garage 3 & 1 at garage 4.

Now if anyone could work out which garages they do deserve a prize

Is garage 1 CV? Is garage 2 WA? Is garage 3 WN? Is garage 4 PN? This is just a guess and it might not be said until Tony is allowed to say it.

Well 4315 - 18 is 4 buses - could replace some Spectras, think I need an enigma code to work out the rest!

[Stuharris 6360]

mmm, well i think garage 3 is PN and garage 4 is WN, but purely a guess!

[Trident 4609]

4898 now on the 900.

6701's ticket machine appears to be broken. Its just a black screen.
