they are 11.5? half a metre shorter? My statistic is in the passenger carrying capability. Using the 44 service since I was 12 years old I have seen how many get on it and you could turn away people on a commander, so yes I really think that over a 10& reduction will make a difference.
Don't get me wrong I think for the average normal passenger they are great but I still would have a versa. I think on routes 11&22 they are the perfect vehicle.
But for the 44 as I said 10% is a big reduction

Yes, but when they are turning people away, how many people are actually on board? I would doubt there are 31 people standing. The 50cm shorter is only room for one extra standing passenger, and I think you will find that the commanders are not actually 12m long, closer to 11.8. Versas are even shorter at 11.08m.

What the board says at the front for capacity, and what you can fit on comfortably are two completely different things. PB's bendis have a standing capacity of close to 100, try fiittng them on!

The buses used on the 44 were 59 plate Pulsars, not Commanders

Are old cadets going to be the norm on the 890/891 now that the versa's have left?  The 11.45 890 from wolves bus station was rammed and had standees. Although versas were similar size at least they had legroom, cadets have hardly any plus vile urban 90 seats ( unless theyre 52/03 plate), not exactly suitable for longer journeys.  W108 ewu was in use as staff shuttle in telford, itd have been far more useful in service lol or even treat passengers to an old scania :)

forgot to mention noted on Friday a Streeltlite with red '44' branding.

3329-3331/3334 now branded for 44.

Is the full batch in use now? I'm down there twice the next fortnight so may try and clear the set

3333 and 3338 also wear 44 branding. I'm not a fan of branding but it does suit well

Also, is it safe to assume Telford no longer have B6's?

[Bob]

Two were out last Saturday. ..b6 I mean

I went to Telford yesterday via the X5 from Shrewsbury. I saw all of the 28 Streetlites in about 2 hours at the Bus Station. There were 10 on the 11/22, 13 on the 44, 3 on the 12 ( coincidentally these three were the original allocation 3310-12 - are these three different from the others in any way, such that they have to be allocated to the 12? ). The other two were 3326 which was a late change on the 33 and 3341 which spent the entire time I was there on The Tesco shuttle. 3489 was still sounding strong on the staff shuttle to Stafford Park depot.

How much is a return on the 890 from Wolves to Bridgnorth?

Thanks in advance

They don't do returns, just get a £6.20 day saver

They don't have leather seats.

Unsure if they are mirco hybrids too
