Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

[Simon Dunn]

Hi Simon,

125 liveried bus 32221 has had no working front destination display for a while now, was causing a bit of confusion when I rode it today. If they are having problems repairing it, couldn't they put the route number in the front window?

I will investigate

Sorry I believe we corrected this after your message.

Hi. Yes they did, but everytime there is an issue on Bloxwich Road, your drivers all seem initially to divert via Green Lane, for example the sink hole issue from a couple of years ago, Nx diverted via Marlow Street while Diamond diverted via Green Lane, until I told your social media, then they matched Nx.

Is it down to a lack of local knowledge,  seeing the local Nx garage is in the area, so they'd know,  unlike your garage being over Tividale?

Hi Simon,
Just seen photos of 66895, that is a brilliant variant of the livery, very striking, very impressive.
Thanks

Yes I like what they have done as well.

Hi Simon, I trust you're well.

Would/have Rotala considered repainting any of the fleet into local heritage colours? Perhaps a Tividale Bus into Birmingham Coach Company livery and similar at the other group companies? I appreciate that Rotala and the Diamond brands have evolved radically since the BCC days, though perhaps a polite nod to local transport history that many would still remember?

One of the remaining Plaxton Darts in Pete's yellow would look great, putting Central or Hansons logos back on one of the last few vehicles in their liveries would be good too.

Hi Simon, couple of things from Bolton:

32211 is tracking as 30404.

40838 is still not tracking

Bolton Spare is still being used and I think it might be 32211 as above.

Also, have all the Streetdecks been delivered now? As deliveries up to 40842 are out then 40846 is the next. I thought they were only due up to 40843 so is 40846 numbered incorrectly?

At this moment in time this isn't something we are inclined to do

[Simon Dunn]

Again - at this time, this isn't something we intend to do
