[andyh]

Thanks Simon,
would the five be the following then 30120,30804,30922 and possibly 30802,30805.All still in blue livery which would get repainted into the new two tone livery when converted ?   

[Simon Dunn]

When they are completed - we are considering what livery they should be in.

Hi Simon,

Do you have an allocation list for the all Solos at Bolton & Eccles including all those in reserve? My list is not up to date and you can't always rely on Bustimes or other unauthorised lists.

Cheers.

Hi Simon,
I see many photos of the vehicles at the withdrawn parking area, what normally determines a withdrawn vehicle for you? The Streetlites are understandable with major RTA damage but some other look half decent, I.e. 30000 tidy looking Volvo, certain E200's, coaches, etc. Not normally classed as end of life vehicles at those ages.
Thanks

You might want to take a look at 30805. Big black smoke bellowing out the rear yesterday and struggling a lot up hills

The vehicles withdrawn, have generally either been withdrawn due to age/ and therefore ongoing ability to use, major RTA damage or the cost of repair being in excess of its book value.

I have asked the Engineering Manager to inspect the vehicle

Dear Sir,

Hi Simon

Just a suggestion really for routes like the 250/1 where a button on the ticketers could exist so say for example someone boarded at Stourbridge Crem and wanted to go to Brierley Hill could buy a £2.40 through ticket to do that trip instead of having to wait to pay at Stourbridge (where the ticketer has it as an end point).

That way it could also make passenger figures a tad more accurate  for those intermediate points

Regards

Tom

Tom,

We are looking at moving towards Tap on/Tap off technology.  I believe this will be a better way to achieve the outcome you are looking for
