Latest CB Fleet news : We're continuing to invest into 2014...two brand new 10.8 metre Alexander Dennis Enviro 200's are on order

Every half hour straight down the A51 I believe, missing out Whittington/Barracks.  Could be very interesting, give Arriva a bit of a run for their money maybe, the 765/785 always seem pretty busy along here.

Last time this route saw competition (please correct me if I'm wrong) was the Pete's travel/county bus v arriva/ budget bus war. That war saw a big loss to arriva & a big win for Pete's travel. Let's hope history repeats itself.

Perhaps worth pointing out that back then there wasn't an hourly train service between the two

Are you serious? I wouldn't say it was much of a loss myself! Countybus just did the 5 minutes in front thing, hopefully this will be something more constructive.

The actual last serious competition was from Ken Miller, although it but wasn't much of an operation.  There's never really been a quality competitor on there,

Think the times are in between Arriva's, i.e. 15 mins apart so not going down the 5 mins ahead route.

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.
