Johnsons

[Solo1]

best place to get them is Stratford on Avon as most services run from there   metro deckers could be on X20 ,park & ride 

[Kevin]

Do Johnsons have set vehicles or vehicle types per duty? I am wanting to get on the Scanias, Metrodeckers and Tempos before Johnsons cease but they don't track on bustimes anymore so I can't work out where the buses go. I can see though from when they did track in April, buses seemed to do some funky stuff, cross interworking basically everything.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen every vehicle type on the Banbury routes, even on the same journeys, so pretty pot luck to be honest. Stratford is by far your best bet

Thank you both for your help.

'Pot luck' is no fun when most of Johnsons routes don't time to connect haha. Means you go up and back on the same bus or you sit around places forever waiting for another bus. Guess I'll just have to make a plan and hope it works. out.

You will see more Euro 5 and less vehicles on the Stratford and Leamington routes due to contractual requirements.

Euro 6 vehicles will usually be on the X20, 87 & 88 due to the contractual requirements on most journeys but not all.

Does anyone know what the future holds for Scania SN58FWL/B10JCT ??  It does not appear to have had much use this year.

According to BusTimes it last tracked on 4th March (all Johnsons buses seemed to have stopped tracking from 13th April), and as it is not included in the acquisition deal, I would guess it probably doesn't have much of a future.

Yes, £11, used it last in November myself.
The drivers might take a while to find it on the ticket machine because they never sold them much but it does still exits, best to ask them for an "£11 day ticket" they might be able to work it out

I think it may be £12 now - fares went up by around 10% at the start of this year.

Linfs to timetables for all services being taken over from Johnsons are now on Diamond's website: -

At a glance it looks like the only changes being made are the (prefectly reasonable) slight shortening or deletion of some journeys to/from Johnsons' Liveridge Hill depot on the X20 and X50.

Is there any  Johnson drivers actually at Diamond then?

Got the impression from earlier posts, a fair few had left?
