Does anybody know the times they run on the 600, live near the route and have never seen one on it.

Are you asking so you know what to avoid? :P

Try looking around 20 minutes in front of the Connect service - that's if it hasn't got 'lost' again!

Sounds about right that does, mind you i remember seeing a BCC Lance lost on the 600 years ago with a bus full of bermused pensioners.

Been trying to post this for while, but couldn't attach the picture due  to the issues Tony has now resolved

The accident happened last Friday, the GRS Dart ploughed in to the back of my neighbours stationary HGV waiting to turn right in Hamstead, the bus driver apparently saw the HGV but couldn't stop in time; the bus driver was 74 years old. Quite a nasty smash, I understand both my neighbour and a number of people on the bus were hurt, mainly whiplash injuries etc

Any one know what has happened to the
bus now as my friend said it's not at their
yard

Whats wrong with a 74 year old driving a bus?

PM

I would imagine that the bus will be scrapped and another dart bought. Anyway, this isn't really of much importance. What is important is that the driver and any passengers are unhurt and I hope that this is the case or if not that they recover well.

There is no age limit to PCV driving, as long as you pass the medical every year after 65 years old you can carry on. Please dont show age discrimination.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

You may well have seen Dart P 201 OLX in sky blue / white livery which came from the AMPM fleet and they have been operating for a year or more now.
