The versa is just an engineering spare isn't it? Moves about

2988 now on loan to Cannock

Bob · October 24, 2015, 01:41:02 PM

FJ06 ZTL sounds in an awful condition , similar to FD52 GGV. vibrates so badly in top gear the poles and interior panels above the bloody seats are rattling

Bob · October 26, 2015, 11:07:29 PM

And what's then supposed to operate the routes than Cannocks darts are used on now then???

Bob · October 28, 2015, 03:50:07 PM

I'd ask why would stafford need to replace mpds with full size buses?

Bob · October 28, 2015, 04:57:06 PM

On screen advertising on the s#######es says "go direct up to every 20 mins between cannock and Walsall "...and the interior panels display 1 &2 &2 a, shouldn't they be done by trading standards lol? Bloody direct? Are they havinga ggiraffe lol?

Streetlites

Bob · October 30, 2015, 04:29:19 PM

Can't see that happening. Can you? ??? Streetlites are crap. Noisy, worst gearboxas ever ( at least how they're set up),jerky. Just pants and not good enough for premium routes. The advertised plug ssockets rarely work either. My fave buses are the Mercs. The deckers although pretty pants reliability wise are smooth to travel on also. The newest SB200 are a fair bit better than the older ones.

All in your opinion.

As an engineer the streetlites are a pleasure to work on, the Voith box is one of the best on the market after the ZF, what other midi buses would you recommend then?

Bob · October 30, 2015, 08:57:00 PM

I wouldnt recommend any midi bus for a premium service for starters. Why do they never ever pull up smoothly? Why are they jerky? And why so noisy? At least three drivers have told me their the worst buss in the garage to drive.

3003 Citaro on rail rep from Walsall

Bob · November 03, 2015, 07:55:21 PM

Driver on the 1 this evening said that it might be going back to original direct route. Any truth in that? Changes have been hugely unpopular. Caught a peak time trip from Walsall. No more than six passengers on board all the way through. Only two left when we got to Wyrley!

What about the Turnberry & Somerfield Road?

Bob · November 04, 2015, 06:55:32 AM

Don't know. Maybe the 2 will serve it. To be fair it's better to have one direct route and one long one. Instead of two circuitous ones

Busman Jamie · November 05, 2015, 12:37:32 PM

Whats the point in the 74B? theyve put a bus on 10 mins infront of them selves, wheres the logic
