2711 2712 9001 at Wigston Depot

AlexS · March 13, 2015, 10:21:03 PM

9001 still operating out of Wigston, with 2711 seemingly now operating out of Thurmaston, and 2712 remaining at Wigston also.
Sapphire service 31 has been seeing many non sapphire buses everyday this week, ranging from the next best 2006 geminis to 14 year old lowlanders that have never been refurbished.
Wigston is operating at 17 breakdowns a day, especially the lowlanders which are no longer suitable for the vast majority of Wigstons routes. 4780/4781/480? still out and about at Wigston and are also not suitable.
4015-4028 are becoming less and less reliable, and are beginning to show their age in their performance, and 4027 has had a broken window for 6+ weeks.

What is it that makes the Lowlanders unsuitable for Wigston routes? Or do you just mean they're reliability is questionable?

AlexS · March 17, 2015, 05:36:04 PM

There reliability is terrible, half of them seem incapable of sticking to time, and they're just not a nice environment to spend almost an hour in. I'm sure that they still have 2-3 years of useful life on slower city services with longer turnarounds, and which rarely get above 20MPH.

If Leicester City Council press ahead with their proposed low emission zone then the Lowlanders wont last long after that

BN · March 24, 2015, 01:57:18 PM

3604 and 3605, now 9504 and 9505 have now joined the fleet as trainers.

Ashley 60171 · May 02, 2015, 08:56:48 PM

I'm told 3799 - 3806 are now fitted with WiFi

Just to add, 3803 is still issuing tickets showing the fleet number of 2257

trixmax · May 02, 2015, 09:32:58 PM

It will be the base plate for the ticket machine that as the fleet number so it will need to be reset
