Claribels

[2206]

There is absolutely no way to get our pulsars or commanders round either the 424 or 604. The commanders will be leaving the fleet shortly to be replaced with brand new e200s.

Will they be E200, or E200 MMC @Steveminor ?
Will the 55 come of any of the tendered services?

Coming home from Stoke on the M6 this afternoon, my mate saw a Claribels Commander heading north (I think we passed it around Stafford), he said it had a white display and looked freshly repainted

[Steveminor]

They are e200s & yes the 55s interwork with the tendered routes with the 71s & 94s interworking some journeys on saturdays to cover rta breaks

Ah. Not so much E200MMC then, more like E200FFS.... ;)

There are still some question marks over 200mmc reliability so we're going for a tried tested & reliable vehicle

You'll have to give them some calgon in the morning to get them working

- & then gave up & got E20D's?

It was kzx which has now left the fleet

and considerably cheaper! (which is understandable on a low margin tender)

YJ54CEO is on the 55 today, parked up at the Woodcock Street stop on Jennes Road going into the City Centre  at 17:05. So will have operated the 17:20 from the City Centre.

Is the claribels fleet list up to date on the main site @Tony  @Steveminor

It still has the latest disposals on as current vehicles, but I believe otherwise it is correct unless Steve tells me otherwise

Thanks @Tony have seen most of the pulsars but no commanders but reading the thread they have gone?

First time I have used Claribels and must stay very punctual, decent loadings and nice vehicles

YJ54CEO was on the 55 yesterday, parked up at the Woodcock Street stop on Jennes Road going into the City Centre  at 17:05. So would have operated the 17:20 from the City Centre. Its quite rare for them to get onto the 55 and 94 now. So not all have them have gone. May have the last time a Commander will get into the City Centre on either the 55, or 94 as well.

YJ53VDL was on the 71E yesterday morning.
