Hmm.

Wonder if the youths will give the same 'attention' to the 19 they gave the 29?

They already do, the last time I caught the 19 it was the same posse and lets say they wasn't the most nicest type to be on a bus with, considering the 19 serves more of the backstreets I'm surprised it's not suffered as bad as the 29!

I remember several years ago it got redirected down Beddows Road.

Lets say, for various reasons(& not to go off topic too much!), that didnt last long!

It does still serve Beddows Road, the 19 has stops on there...

They're brave sending a bus down there.

My old mum says it was an area you never went down, & her side of the family used to live on Stafford Street!

There was a photo on FB yesterday of the first Volvo B8RLE/MCV Evora delivered in allover white parked up in Delta Way depot - registered BV73MJY, comments suggest these are for the 826/828, it has also arrived incorrectly with seat bealts fitted & will be returned to Volvo to have them removed after repaint.

The 3 ex Centrebus Volvo B8RLE/MCV Evolutions *may* also now be permanent transfers.

There's also thought to be 4 x E200MMC's due too.

@winston – There seems to be various rumours going round about what they are actually meant to be for some say 74/826/828 corridor; someone I was speaking too last night suggests they're going on the 60 and others are saying 19/35A/36 corridor I don't think anyone actually knows!

4 x Evora's isn't enough to fully convert the 826/828, let alone the 74 aswell. The 60 has a 4 Pvr by the looks of it.

Apparently they're to upgrade the 60 but the 1 that has been delivered is being painted then going back to Volvo to have the seat belts removed and the same will happen with the other 3

... are you all sure you're in the right thread talking about new vehicles? It is the Chaserider thread, you know.

Bearing in mind what was written about them & Ad Blue recently, how long before they start breaking down?

Thatd make sense. Bit then 4 of them with tbe other 3 if they stayed, would be almost enough to do 74/826/828

The other thought is the 4 new MMC's coming are for the 36 network and the 4 new Evoras and the 3 Evolutions will upgrade the 74 network

Read a post on Facebook earlier that suggests 99 (YX11 CTV) and 22 (MM13 OCH) are transferring to D&G Bus on a permanent basis.

Well 505 has come over to Chaserider today and their PVR will be decreasing soon with the reduction in routes
