The Versas are due to leave this weekend along with DAF 2748 and 2 other buses (hope 2383/2384)
Replacements are 2378 which was on 8/10s today, and 2371 2372 2373 2375. Will confirm when I go back to work Monday.

Replacing61 plate versas with 10 year old darts though? Which'll no doubt end up on 825/X25 a fair bit. Seems a bit odd.

versa'a still at Stafford this morning on the 825 and X26.

Yes no other vehicles were changed over the weekend. 2739 X783NWX appeared today at the Garage assuming cover for MOTs

No, it was on the X60 on Tuesday

Bob · June 18, 2015, 09:36:22 PM

Damn I hoped theyd keep it. Less of them means more variety on the X60

Bob · June 18, 2015, 09:38:36 PM

I reckon the 06 plate commanders would be better allocated to the X60. Nicer interiors and high back seats suit the longer distance trip more

Looks like your wish is granted reported elsewhere as now in Leicester

Bob · June 22, 2015, 11:17:23 PM

Maybe the rest will follow. 3809 is a poor bus

staffsdave · June 23, 2015, 07:46:47 PM

2371/2375 now at Stafford

I suppose age wise it isn't great but it is for fleet standardisation. Presumably with the latest moves and 2748 having gone to Cannock from Stafford this means Stafford is now just Darts and Pulsars?
