There is a better photo of the damage on this page https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/490546-sheffields-new-free-electric-city-centre-buses-sheffield-connect/page/17/#comments Leaving buses unattended in the bus station overnight seems to be asking for trouble, even from just normal...

I think that is exactly the explanation. These buses currently allocated to Stockport seem to be new arrivals

After these brand new vehicles having only been in service a week, two have been broken into with one of them having been stolen and driven into other vehicles and is therefore badly damaged The source of this info is this tweet, which is only in image form but basically says what I’ve just...

Unlike her current term in office, it’s unlikely she’ll just be able to blame those bad old Tories in London for not giving her the money. Maybe she only wants two terms as mayor anyway

Even after all the turmoil in the industry over recent years, (COVID, less passengers after COVID, high inflation meaning high pay rises, high costs of parts, various government grants starting and ending, £2 bus fares, electrification etc etc) you still think the old rules still apply? There...

I think there are unrealistic expectations if you think buses from 2017 need replacing

They can get away with it though due to the investment in new and second hand vehicles in recent years, such as the modern solos at Team Pennine and the ex-Nottingham Enviro 200s that were mostly at Rosso There are no routes that are on their last legs crying out for investment, that won’t be...

This is what I can’t understand with the local elections My local conservative councillor is pretty good. He’s young so still at the stage where he is visible and tries to get things done. He isn’t one of those old councillors who is a council lifer who you never see and just gets re-elected...

The electrification situation is why I can see the current fleet on Coastliner carrying on for quite a number of years yet Im not sure any electric bus is suited to be thrashed down the A64 as yet In any case, people here are saying the B5s were not suitable from the start, not that they have...

Two things going on here One person saying Coastliner need newer buses because new equals good, old equals bad Another person saying that actually the older buses perform better than the newer buses 1713116356 Remember Yorkshire Coastliner Limited and “the Coastliner service” are two...

Has anyone seen any printed timetables for the April changes? There was a distinct lack of any in Harrogate or Leeds There is also no paper mention of service 4 in Harrogate or that service 8 isn’t run by them anymore

It seems to be just the popular thing to refer to anything modern as “Chinese rubbish”, “Plastic rubbish” etc, and to fit in, various people join in Everything that isn’t the most heavy weight Volvo or Scania seems to be dismissed out right by many

They lost service 8, which required one bus They’ve also introduced service 4 at the same time

To be honest they probably can’t do right for doing wrong, whether they allocate the advertised open top bus in a downpour or the unadvertised closed top bus if it later brightens up The weather has obviously ruined this thread’s planned moan of the week, which was clearly being set up to be...

Are you sure it’s not because of the bad weather? I remember catching one last summer in a downpour with everyone fleeing downstairs and flood water gushing back and forth upstairs, it was pretty miserable This was in the school term so closed top buses would have been less readily available...

The author of this book changed it into ‘Bookazine’ format ‘Rolling Stock Review’ which has been published more recently https://shop.keypublishing.com/collections/rail-specials/products/rolling-stock-review

Are these issues unique to the Transdev app or common across all apps by the same supplier, as Preston Bus looks to use a similar app and they’ve got 4.5 stars out of 5 in the App Store?

I’ll believe it when I see it. When was the last time anyone started a competitive service in this day and age

It’s amazing how the fleet in Oldham has been transformed over night. Probably more noticeable with this tranche, as tranche 1 operations were already fairly modern whereas Oldham was mostly 58 plate Gemini and 12 plate E400s beforehand I’d probably say a higher proportion of the fleet is...

Sorry I meant Hyde Road for that one It’s only run by Queens Road due to the history of it being a Finglands then First then Go North West service though presumably? If it had been a Stagecoach service like the other routes it would have happily been run from Hyde Road
