Ha the pleasure of travelling on this Volvo today on the 425 service. It's a shame these old buses can't be used for longer as they are not low floor as the engine sounds like it has just come out of the factory. Just had my long weekend off. Back to the grind on Wednesday with olympic football buses on Sunday. From what I read we are running a park and ride service which is free to ticket holders. It's just a shame we can't run a similar set up for concerts and regular football matches.
34100 is on loan to Pioneer good bus as is 31917 after 40381 was damaged after hitting a stone wall in Mossley and will not be repaired
ReplyDeleteloaned 31917 stuck to the 393 since it came. after the loss of 40381 it seems most sensible not to withdraw 31929 as pioneer will have lack of vehicles 40341/66/82 all havent been seen for a while has anything happened to them? on loan 34100 explains something at the moment.
ReplyDelete22160 seen on stockport routes?
withdrawn pioneer bus 40343 is in Bolton workshops having its rear rubbed down for repaint i think this could be bough back to replace 40381
DeleteIt's actually 40341 at BN being worked on.
Deletea 3rd bus on loan at Pioneer is Bury based 34028 on 350 today

bad choice sending 31917 on loan to Pioneer that has some slowness up the hills they should have had 31952 again
ReplyDeleteI've heard that these old volvos will be going after the Olympics, as we're due to be getting some replacement newer buses. But, this is just depot talk at the moment, so we will see.
ReplyDeletei have heard that some B7s are coming from West Yorkshire and then 10 move to Pioneer for 348/350 services
