Travel Express / Lets Go

[Will]

Now there are coming back on one of his old routes wonder if the old fleet will be used or will he be buying newer 
buses &the big question will the fleet be in a livery or a mixed one

Well firstly Mark most of the buses Chumber owns aren't DDA compliant so it's very very unlikely that any will be used VOSA will be watching him like a hawk so he cannot slip up and use none compliant buses in service otherwise the will just re-revoke his license I could be wrong but either way they will be watching him

[justlookingaround]

From that public inquiry report:

Mr Chumber said that he had 10 PSVAR-compliant vehicles ready to go if the licence was granted and he was looking to get PSVAR certificates for another seven vehicles.

PSVAR certificates = DDA compliant.

Just need to see what happens.

Which of the 10 darts are dda compliant

[Steveminor]

Was trying to look at tonys photos on the main site to see his old fleet list but it's not up there. I know he had at least 3 or 4 dda buses.

Looking at Tony's fleetlist, the ten bottom Darts (Y/51 reg) are the PSVAR compliant vehicles, which makes sense as these would have been built to the required spec meaning that none of his other have been modded.

think maybe the x reg plaxton may be dda and possibly the spd

[Steveminor]

The spd definitely isn't & I don't think the x regs are either although not much would need to be done to the x reg to make them compliant

[mranon]

i might be wrong, but the spd was on ebay when chumber bought it. im sure it said it was dda in the listing. think the 2 xreg pointers are dda the white x-uks one, and the x-krx (that one has the electric ramp and various other bits that make it look dda)

[Ashley 60171]

The spd definitely isn't & I don't think the x regs are either although not much would need to be done to the x reg to make them compliant

X703UKS just needs a new door and a bonnet that closes and that would be ready to roll. Plus anything I never noticed.

I wonder if Travel Express plan on put the name "Lets Go" on there buses and I am also curious to see if they end up in a uniform livery... Rather than various blast from the past paint job from the buses previous owners...
