@Steveminor how's the 74 going these days?

All seems to have quiet on the Social / Select completion against Arriva of late.

@Steveminor thought you didn't like solos ;) is it a loan or has it been brought?

[Busman Jamie]

nice to meet you @Steveminor (I was with the driver on Select 9)

As much as i hate solos, the 1 on 74 looked smart

[Steveminor]

Yeah nice to meet you too.
Yeah she looks smart. Shame  she's a solo lol.

[Busman Jamie]

lol... has she replaced 1 of the SPD's?

[Steveminor]

Sort of the spds are returning to the 11  in birmingham

I wonder how today's arrival of the 74B has affected the 74 run by social travel

[Bob]

Bit worrying if they've downsized it from SPDs?

[Ck]

Saw an optare on there one day this week

Saw an optare on there one day this week

Its been on the 11 most days this week

[Steveminor]

It's not so much downsizing as modernization the spds are getting old now & we recognise the need to provide more modern buses.
We simply couldn't find any spds on the market at the right age at the right price those we saw were well over market value & the optare was under market value.
It is a move that has been well received & appreciated by our passengers & that's what's important at the end of the day.

I didn't see the 355 74 yesterday I saw both arriva buses whilst travelling back
