Questions for Simon from Arriva

[Westy]

Do you mean Optare Versas?

From what Ive been told elsewhere, yes.

[Bob]

Oooh any idea of types?

No new ones!

[Bob]

No new ones!

That just implies Solos then lol

[Bob]

Just a question, and not a criticism, as its good that some of Cannocks fleet are getting a desperately required refurb. I thought that the standard current spec was E leather seats ( as per all the refurbed Pulsars/Volvos at Tamworth and the two 59 plates recently transferred here), is there a reason why Cannocks ( particularly Pulsars) are getting the older type moquette, as they end up looking pretty much the same as they did before interior wise? Just out of interest this is. Is E leather much more expensive or something like that?

[bovaman]

NO more solos pleaseeeeeee........ they are horrendous machines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I would gladly take every one of them solos from cannock on a 1 way journey to barnsley for free for you  ;)

@Simon@Arriva What's the reasoning behind the 1656 number 2 from Cannock terminating in Cheslyn Hay on Saturdays? Low usage maybe?

E-leather doesn't last as long.
