Seems to be quite normal allocations now..

YJ61CHH/YJ61CHK (Optare Versas) seem to be superglued to the 82 now, also a Hybrid on the 82 isn't umcommon.

Comment your sightings of the Versas and Citaros especially, Personally haven't seen a Citaro on the 82 for ages now!

This was 2 weeks ago but on the 19th of February I saw Citaro BF60OFA and Streetlite 30165 on the 82

One Citaro is still out of action with fire damage

OFA should always be on the 82/8s, ZJU is poorly, although was out on S3s this evening! And as Winston said, FWS is away being repaired. CHH should be on the X30s, CHK has been on the S3 the last couple of days

jc

ZJU seems to very rarely stray from Redditch routes, it does seem rather knackered, not sure Redditch are overly capable of looking after the Citaro's FWS being a prime example

I know about BN09FWS yes, haven't seen BF60OFA for a while but that's just me lol.

On a Saturday however, YJ61CHH/YJ61CHK seem to be on the 82 nearly all the time, and then maybe a Hybrid Versa sometimes

Had CHH last weekend, it was slow but not as slow as CHK (CHK is in Limp mode) - So presumably there making sure CHH isnt going to go into Limp mode then, lol. Much prefer CHH personally.

BN09FWS has been away for a bit now! Any idea when it'll be back?

Also, BV10ZJU appears to be fixed!
