I think Wigston should keep the Lowlanders and send the Alx400 dafs off to Arriva Wrexham

The Alx400's we had off Wednesfield and Wardles aren't too bad and are much better than the early DAF Lowlanders, if anything the S*** JUA ones should go as they're awful.

[Bob]

Whats the difference between the s-jua ones and any other ones they're exactly tge same bus with at most a couple of years difference?

[stuartn]

The S*** JUA ones aren't that great as they are unreliable, the bells don't work on some and because of the staircase location they feel very cramped.

The ones we've had from Wednesfield and Wardles are quite nice and feel more spacious and have better seating.

[Bob]

The bells on wednesfield's w regs dont work theyre full of dead ones. Nx's alx tridents are much better buses

They are replacing VolvoB9TL's but no idea where they will end up when the 38 goes to sapphire spec.

Cheers for that :) I wonder where there the B9TL's at Tamworth will go when the 110 is converted to sapphire operation.

Wednesfield for the 10, 19, 334? So they can send the DAF deckers off somewhere else.

[Bob]

The 334 has been axed, and the 19 only runs walsall to bloxwich and only needs mpds...

[Trident 4609]

Personally i would send the B9TL's (From either Tamworth or Derby) and upgrade the 74/5 (Maybe put them ito a special branding for both routes?). This could shift the Pulsars off the 74/5 onto other routes to replace older darts/Volvo B10BLE's.

[Bob]

It wouldn't be much of an upgrade though they're only about 6months newer than the existing pulsars

Well it would be because they would increase capacity. I'm sure i read somewhere that the 74/5 gets overcrowded at peak times so
