@Adam 404 @P419 EJW - Thanks for the info. It is really nice that Banga Buses post enthusiast information about their buses on their website.

@Adam 404 - That is interesting to hear. I wonder what length they will be (probably 8.5m or 9.2m).

Obviously Banga are realizing that you get out what you put in, they have come on leaps & bounds in recent years & I'm sure that their efforts are resulting in increased passenger numbers

The new route 530 branding on some of their Optare Solo buses looks very nice and smart. Banga Buses do seem to be a very good bus operator. They seem to be doing very well. I have always been very happy with the service every time that i have used it.

If you think that Banga are 'a very good bus operator', then you need a reality check. Back in the past, the company was run by a different family member running a very poor company, as discussed at length previously in this thread. It certainly has improved a lot since then but they still cannot be called 'a very good bus operator'.

As for the branding, it's not the worst branding I've seen but it's far from the best. Maybe it would have been better to keep them as they were, Solos have such little room for branding to make an improvement to the bus. For a company with a relatively small fleet it would also give more flexibility to use the buses on different routes had they not been branded.

From what Ive heard over the years on this site & in the press, they seem to be behaving themselves in recent years.

Im sure at least one other company regulary mentioned on this forum should have taken note of how Banga have conducted themselves since their problems a few years ago.
