    Then I suggest you ask us at work We're currently carefully managing those vehicles that are due for replacement. Of the 17 Trident 1s, 2 have suffered engine failure and have been sent for scrap. Of the 3 Lothian Darts, 1 has suffered engine failure and has been used for spares. The last of...

    No it hasn't. The seats were used as a float set for open top conversions. The rest of the parts are waiting to be put back on. It's waiting for the workshop bay occupied by the open top conversions to be clear.

    In a change of plans 38004 will now be donating its engine to 38006 which has suffered a failure. Bridport's Olympian is instead joining the fleet for a 20 day sourjon before becoming the new tree cutter.

    Glad you had such a good time. Funnily enough we've been arranging supplies of paper rolls for Penzance open tops so the seats can be dried not just in the mornings, but during wet days too. It's the trees that need cutting! We're likely to fit much more robust tree bars to a large number of...

    No, Kernow has 20 E400s. There is no confirmation of any E200s. The word used was potentially.

    No, buses aren't allocated based on the type of seat. From a practical point the allocation needs to follow a list of other requirements - capacity of bus, size in relation to the physical constraints of the route, suitability of type to route, reliability, commercial return on investment and...
