And to prove it wasn't a fluke all 38 B7/Eclipse out again today,

The B7RLEs are really showing their class today
Out of 186 Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse 1750-87 & 2001-29/59-177 the only one not used in service this morning was 2006 at Wolverhampton. That is 99.4% availability. If only all buses were that good!

The Enviro 400s that are in the same age range never get anywhere near that

Would be interesting to see the figures for the Gemini deckers as well
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

They aren't as good as the singles generally because they are older

2900

Tony as your in a position to see vehicle types out in service how about a once a month league table on vehicle types, Just an idea i thought i,d throw out there.

Can anyone answer why the 41 journey that arrives at Cornwall Gate @1729 (timetabled to, at least) is almost always late, as most times i use it, it arrives around 1740, only 5 mins ahead of the 28, not good for a quarter hourly service on that road

Alright, anyone able to think of an excuse as to why only the 41 i seem to go for, seems to have its timetable screwed up, as the same journey is now supposed to arrive around 1750 not 1729 as it should

No interworking on Sundays. Just 1 bus on the 39(E) & 1 bus on the 34(E).
