Yes, it's made it difficult for businesses to get deliveries, caused havoc for bus companies and royally p**sed off local tradesmen, but hey ho, atleast the air is "clean" so we can smell the wonderful fragrance of weed, spice and meth. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nan used to work for the council and she also hated the council. She hated everyone really, especially the French. How do you know that?

They have had to swap buses in Sheffield with some in Doncaster. See the South Yorkshire Bus Service Needs Improvement thread. I rest my case.

Sourcing and swapping just one bus (worth circa £175,000) is a big deal, then there is the administration, driver familiarisation training, ensuring the new buses are suitable for the routes they operate. It will be even more difficult for smaller operators such as TM Travel and Hulley's, who don't have spare buses elsewhere to swap around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 You are aware First and Stagecoach will be swapping rolling stock around on the country on a regular basis, dont you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they don't. They wouldn't be able to have the Henderson's Relish bus if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should be, but obviously isn't. She is clearly not aware that the majority of these 'special' liveries are applied as a vinyl 'wrap' and can be removed and applied to another vehicle if required, or when they are moved between depots/opco's. 1 hour ago, Irene Swaine said: Sourcing and swapping just one bus (worth circa £175,000) is a big deal, then there is the administration, driver familiarisation training, ensuring the new buses are suitable for the routes they operate.

Both those operators only have a very small (relative) operational area, and, AIUI, only one garage each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
