Has Long Acre or Tividale depot got the B8?

It's Long Acre as said, then once Rotala have all they data they want it will go back to Volvo.

look forward to the timetable improvements coming to services in Kidderminster .  will there be any more buses  coming  here  to cover extra runs on services.
and hope your two recruitment days go well  at the depot

Cedric,

By that time, all the MAN's should be in service.

For clarity, this vehicle is a demonstrator owned by Volvo which was previously loaned out to Arriva.  We now have the vehicle for a few months during which time it will be based at Long Acre.

I am planning a trip to Preston next week and after looking on the PrestonBus website, i can't seem to locate an up to date map, i was wondering if you could link me to one at all?

Thank You

I was hoping for one that was a bit more up to date than June 2010 ...

Cheers though!

No problem. Don't think there has been significant network change since by PB other than a few new supported routes that go out further in evenings etc but I could be wrong!

There isn't a more up to date map at present.

It is something we are working on

Hi Simon,

A few questions from me:

1 - Have Rotala now received planning permission to expand Tividale depot parking area as well as the office buildings & workshop?
2 - Has there been any movement on the sale of Long Acre?
3 - How many 57 plate B7RLE/Wright Eclipse are expected to move up to Long Acre from Wessex? Why is it Wessex can spare them? With 30508/9 moving up thus far.

Cheers,

[Simon Dunn]

We have agreed to acquire 1 x NEW 10.8 m DF Streetlite and 1 x 2014 ex Regent Coaches 10.8m DF Streetlite. 

The service will I suspect start with the current Streetlites and then switchover at some point next week

Thanks for your reply.

1. When do you hope that the expanded Tividale depot will be complete?
3. Are the Omnidecks Omnicity Double Deckers or East Lancs Omnidekka's?
4. With the evaluation of 30166 are we likely to see Rotala buy new buses in quantity for group as you did back in 2008-2010?

Winston,

1.  This calendar year. 
3.  OmniCity
4.  You can never say never, but I consider the MCV body to be a cheaper product and the Volvo price for this product at present does not reflect that

Thanks for your replies

Is a B8RLE with Wright bodywork not of interest to Rotala?

Will you be trying any other demo's in the near future?
