[Trident 4194]

Their are no Versa's at Kidderminster haven't been for months usually E200s and a Mini Dart for the 142 some times Metrocity are allocated but less so in the winter.

The 125 is now mainly e200's now

35B is a PB depot route.

how come they use e200 on 125 now

Buses move from depot to depot for ENG purposes etc

I wanna know more on PVRs and cross linkings for the sake of the Trident workings etc

A few weeks back I saw a Trident on the JL2 work service. Not sure if tridents are the regular allocation but here is the timetable on traveline. As there is only 2 return journeys a day it probably inter works onto another route

It's brilliant how many of us still use this group on xmas day, as of us hate xmas and try to pass the time.

Running costs probably the Versa's are best suited to the route in the winter if you ask me.

Normal, as it covers a school journey, which is the 15:25 78 to Streetly/Queslett

Sad about the 35B but so be it, will have to go bash it again this weekend

Also, curious how the 16 and 15 will be "co-ordinated", unless the 15 will be routed the same way out through Ventura Park and not Hockley which would then be exactly as per the peak hour services mentioned in the changes to the 16.
Does seem a shame that they're chopping and changing routes a fair bit though, they're never going to make a huge presence for themselves if they do that

But have you noticed that the bus war in Tamworth has suddenly subsided, along with the award winning 'Xpre55' quietly being withdrawn. All competition between Arriva & Central Buses has now ceased as a result of these changes.........   :-\

Will cost me a bit more from Walsall to Tamworth then, unless I go via Cannock to Lichfield instead.
