Yea then maybe they can replace buses that break down in the bus station instead of missing journeys out

Bob

Im on W108 EWU at the moment.  Its pretty smooth and extremely quiet especially considering it's a voith. Towers above any commander or pulsar, at least its not underpowered and your not deafened by a bus that over revs and screams every time it pulls off. Plus the voith/ renowns have coach seats :)

Here is the finished look of the Streetlites for the 1 & 2
http://wmbusphotos.com/Arriva/3302a.html

The front is very bland, all one colour, no fleetname on the metal, just Sapphire on the windscreen, but the sides do look nice


Bob

They look ok but theyre still possibly one of the most hideous looking buses ever built and you cant polish a turd. They also look smaller than the commanders. Does anyone know what the seating capacity is?

646

It should say "dont bother trying to get a timetable online" lol. I cant believe cannocks losing its volvos. Possibly the only decent single deckers theyve got

Guess it makes sense to try to standardize the fleet and concentrate certain types at particular garages. I know in the North East that that seems to be the focus.

I agree with Tony that they look bland at the front but nice from the side. I reckon they look far nicer in this livery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/15365234909/

The interiors look good even on these ones and the Sapphire ones are to an even higher specification.

Still, hopefully it'll lead to some growth in passenger numbers as has been seen in the North East.

Where the voith Volvos going?
This is a personal appeal... For Pete's Sake just save the #!@?$&% Scania's - don't let them follow the Dennis Falcons!

The same. Think the launch is this week, isn't really as though theyre gone forever if they're mostly at Wardles

Bob

They go into service on 27th October.  If theyre 44 seater buses judging by how small they look I wouldnt imagine the legroom will be brilliant.  The whole of cannocks single deck fleet will npw be lightweight crap. Knackered darts, clapped out commanders and ex stafford pulsars along with a handful of cadets. And newer pulsars on 60 & pye greens
