Would be better for the bus to show unload only. At least that way the passengers don't think the driver is just being ignorant & missing them on purpose.

You don't know he wasn't, it was only seen from the back

Rear destinations do show unload only.

I know. That's why I said you don't know it wasn't showing set down only

When I was told to unload only, I was told to put Not In Service up. I'm sure there's no unload only or similar destinations at AG.

Wow I've seen a couple of the newer vehicles on the 94 this weekend. Is this a sign of a bit more focus on the route or are the gems being repainted.

There was a large number of gemini break down throughout Friday,  so this could explain it.

Didn't think so, still bottom the central management radar then!!!!!

There wasn't. 4856 came out on an afternoon peak/late night board, but all the allocated Geminis finished their boards off

You obviously didn't see what I saw then.  At one point it looked like a war zone with 4 buses off over heated at the same time. The poor chap in city looked helpless when all those drivers were asking where their buses were.

Amazing how you could see buses broken down along the route and see the controller at the same time. Your '4 at one time' is amazing considering only 3 departures from City were missed all day.

I hear you have been telling Claribels drivers you are 'declaring war on National Express'

A 'war zone' ???  LOL


Sense of perspective check needed I think.

Would've thought that you'd know that if its overheated it doesn't have to go back to garage all the time...cool it down and shove it back into service ;)

No need for a bus war in this day & age. Those are a thing of the past or at least they should be. Nowadays it should all be focused on providing a quality product as the car is the enemy of the bus now.

[Steveminor]

You should know better than anyone Tony what drivers say & what is actually the truth are never quite the same.
