Questions for Simon from Arriva

[Bob]

I asked and the answer was no.

When do the last of the Streetlites go? And replacements come?

Hi

I didn't know that they didn't - or that they did track in other areas.

The Midlands North/West (Cannock, Tamworth etc) have their vehicles appearing on bustimes.org

It seems to pick up every bus that does Leicester's 26 too (e.g. 2525, 2528, 2529, 2938 and 2950 as today's examples)

Noticed an Arriva Leicester 58/58A branded Versa passing Sheldon Tesco on the Coventry Road at 14:00.
Do you know what it was doing in Birmingham and where it was going?

I am afraid that I am not able to answer that other than to say I imagine we are broadly the same as Stagecoach.

It's interesting how open Stagecoach are about that but Arriva are quite secretive about where the viable mark is.

Where do Stagecoach publish their 'viable' mark?

I think to Graysons for Efan fitment.

Over the next couple of weeks.

An arriva bus was sighted in Boney hay, Burntwood this afternoon. Is a new route planned for the Burntwood area?

[bovaman]

what delightful vehicles shall we see dumped in Cannock once the streetlites go?, and guessing  the last few remaining pulsars will be next on the hit list no doubt.
Notice the 60 route seems to be a end of life vehicle route these days too,  clapped out old darts and solos a lot of the time, its no incentive to use the services at all >:(

@Simon@Arriva are there any plans to withdraw the 60xx numbered Optare Solo's in Shrewsbury anytime soon?

Isnt it Centros from down South? To be fair even the knackered 52 plate Commanders are better than the Streetlites
