VERY Late running services

[Tony]

Igo could???

No they couldn't they just missed chunks of the route out to get back on time

Some Igo drivers have TUPEd  over to NX

How is your 10H/10S doing regarding staying on time? Running punctually?

To be fair Igo always used to run quite well on both services there. A few minutes late outbound after getting down harborne high street was a regular occurrence. From city centre they always seemed very reliable

Yesterday's first northbound 99 was 18 minutes late at Lea Hall station. It (831) had recovered to just 11 minutes late by 2pm. It made me feel all nostalgic for the Igo days!

Do Dundee not have spare 43X Streetlites?

You could have PN e200s? The 28 can cope with long e200s

Plus B7s can fit the 208 (when Diamond ran it, one appeared on a boxing day service on the 208, same with TGB tridents)

Can the 27 not use longer buses? Not familiar with the route, but I thought deckers have done it in the past?
Are most of those SWB E200 at WN used on the 27?

They've already been/being taken off the 27.

There are 18 of them and all 18 need to be where they are going to be from the 21st, so there is no scope for other routes

The 27 has started to see larger buses again, the 8**'s are becoming the mainstay again and regular B7RLE appearances too.

If WN are keeping any smaller E200's, they will be required on the 62 (2 buses) and the recently won 61 (1 bus) which starts on the 22nd April.
