Travel Express / Lets Go

[mranon]

sk51ayd is now sorn, and cx03ebj is hardly ever out. you would have thought those 2 having newer isbe engine would be in use as they are newer and lower on emissions. wonder what happened to their spd v210erg that didn't stay on the road for long

[Busman Jamie]

SK51/CX03/RX51 Appear to act as 'spare' when the older darts are off but like you said, it would make more sense to run the 'newer' buses and keep the old ones as spare

now tested I was told too, so that's 3 of the old buses making a comeback, I wonder if any more will see daylight too

[Busman Jamie]

Well there's only the V/W reg left isn't there? We're they even DDA compliant?

[justlookingaround]

I do remember reading in a previous public inquiry article that he had upgraded a good number to DDA compliance, so maybe so, maybe not.

Considering the age I'm surprised he wouldn't just get newer Darts altogether, the prices are going down nowadays, they would probably be better in the long run too.

[mranon]

there was a v210erg a spd, w reg twin door ex London, w362abd and the first low floor t580jtd. if they can convert them to be psvar or dda compliant for less than buying replacements why wouldn't they put them back on the road. yes I get the age, but as they are already owned sometimes it might be better the devil you know, and run them until they have to replace them.

Let's go/travel express first low floor mpd t580jtd has seen a return to service today on service 11.
