I'm not really that bothered, was just being childish. I understand limited resources etc.

I do believe the 94 deserves better buses, but then I thought of the 14, which has the same overall frequency but sees mainly 41** tridents

No no no no.


14 never gets them from memory, only probably the lynx single deckers and that was only because they were being brought in on mass. Less afflent areas have no choice but use the bus, the nxwm business model doesn't care about increasing patronage through investment (why should they). Wonder if the councils long term plan will generate improvements that are fairly distributed.

Unless they stop buying for 5 years them buy in masses I doubt a lot of routes
Will see brand new buses.

I wonder if 4698 will get repainted and branded, to fit with 4914-4939. Presumably the unbranded Enviros and 4698 will be allocated to 115/914 & 907?

While it would make sense, I actually imagine they want to get those Enviros branded with the ticket prices out onto every route possible, including the 101/94 etc

Possibly, will be interesting to see :). Does anyone know when all the new Enviros will be out? I think they should brand the '61 reg unbranded Enviros with the ticket prices

Test, ABC is only used upon delivery, not used when running dead, if that's the case another new branded 902/4/5 has arrived at PB, didn't catch the fleetnumber :(

I think so yes. I think this is before any garages routes are programmed onto the display

I'm sure they are the Sky Movies Advert, with the 'Christmas is Coming' lit up with LED lights. I did notice on of the '61' reg Enviro400s with it lit up yesterday
