Last August when I was staying in Reading, I wanted to travel to Bristol, but the self service machine at the station only offered a very expensive period return and I was prepared to be told by the ticket office staff that was all that was available, take it or leave it. However, the guy who...

It's also worth noting that if your local council allows pre-9:30 travel using your pass, you can travel on a service that starts in your council area and crosses the border into a different council area before 9:30, but once over the border, you can't use your pass again until 9:30.

The Optare Solos felt like a real road rocket, yet didn't feel uncomfortable when run at high speed, even when the road surface was of poor quality.

The Optare Metroriders and later the Solos Lincolnshire RoadCar had. The Solos seemed to take particularly well to when the driver put their foot down when running late. Other buses like Dennis Darts felt rather uncomfortable in comparison when run at top speed. It really felt like the end of...

With the Hanover Central software you mentioned, do you need a licence for every bus you intend to set up audio visual announcements on? It's just in Hull, Stagecoach have recently introduced some new 73 registered MMCs to the fleet and some of them have the audio visual announcements enabled...

No, but he tried dragging me out my seat and demanded I get off the bus. I didn't attempt to fight back, but remained firmly seated. The driver wasn't best pleased with him and several of the passengers were saying how about you get off instead and he remained quiet for the rest of the journey...

Every so often, there is an elderly guy who gets on the bus route I frequently travel on and insists that every single window must be open, and anybody who dares to disagree with him, he either tells them to get off the bus if they don't like it, threatens to drag them off the bus himself or...

What software is typically used for configuring audio visual announcements on buses outside of London? Is it usually the same software used to configure the electronic destination blinds with the audio visual announcements data often being linked to the destination blinds or is different...

Do you know if the new 400 MMCs at Holbrook depot have the audio visual announcements feature enabled for any services?

The addition of the 361 on Sundays is a boost for North Lincolnshire and Scunthorpe, especially seeing as there are currently no Sunday buses in North Lincolnshire west of Scunthorpe.

When I attempted to use my ENCTS card on Reading Buses back in August, their Ticketers refused to recognize my card at all, despite it being well after 9:30. The drivers always immediately told me to go sit down and never issued a manual zero fare ticket.

Stagecoach bus services to and from Hull, 250 from Grimsby and 350 from Scunthorpe use the Humber Bridge.

Bristol also has it on FirstBus. I used it on a bus from Temple Meads station to Broadmead when I was there on Thursday.

From my recent experience (earlier this week actually) in using Reading station's ticket office, that hope feels like a reality.

I would go with ADL Enviro 200/400 MMCs.

I'm not really into preserved buses either, but this particular restoration project I'm thoroughly impressed with.

That pretty well sums up how I would describe myself on this thread as well.

I'd say Selby to Hull!

56 Skegness to Lincoln. 100 Lincoln to Scunthorpe. 350 Scunthorpe to Hull. Alternatively, replace Skegness with Grantham, with the route number from Grantham to Lincoln being 1.

On the Stagecoach buses in Hull that have the next stop announcement feature installed, there are the occasional stops it can't seem to pronounce and comes out sounding like a murmur or a grunt. Another issue that often crops up is that the feature doesn't always work even when the bus is on a...
