Sunny Travel

[justlookingaround]

Appears to be reduced to just 1 vehicle from the end of April!

Saturday service has also been dropped. Which isn't a surprise considering all these other related companies don't do Saturdays either.

What's the point in reducing service just for said related companies to fill in the gap?

As for vehicles being withdrawn I wouldn't be surprised if it was the dual doored buses getting the chop, they are after all non-standard to the rest of the overall fleet picture.

Sunny have been using 103 and 105 on the 71E recently , but 104 reappeared yesterday and was very clean and smart inside.

[cris 99]

yes its agood bus sadly when the new timetable starts they will only need 1 bus that will be 105 KV03ZFU with the white bus as spare

[Eric Shaw]

Although the timetables at the bus stops are showing new timetables from 22nd April Sunny appear to be running to the previous timetable with 103 and 105 in service today. The new timetable shows only one Sunny bus needed as has already been reported on this site.

[cris 99]

i thought the new service starts 30th discount Travel start on 30th april aswell

Are sunny travel, RKT and DTS all the same company!? Is the reason they register under different names to fiddle taxes?

[Eric Shaw]

The Sunny Group are running the following into Solihull this week:
KV03ZFU, KV03ZFS, NA52AXN, NA52AWZ and KXZ4299. Have they been modified to euro4?

I noticed today there display on the 71E still wrongly shows "via Redleys".
Its been like that for a while now.

The Dart that operates the Sunny Travel timetabled trips - KV03ZFU, was displaying "72 Solihull via Redleys" today,
rather than the registered 71E route number that is shown on the timetables and flags.
It most certainly also operated the Sunny Travel 15:51 trip from Solihull to Chelmsley Wood.

Presumably the reason they've kept this old route number (whilst DTS and RK use the 72 route number) is because like DTS and the 966 they don't want to pay for the flags to be changed.

Yeah I saw that as well today and yesterday
