Boooo!

3313 was on the 82 today while the 86/A and 500 was all in the hands of B7TLs. There were two bendies on the 501 but both interurban while at least one blue one was on the 699 and is now debranded.

I think it would be nice if a few of the B7TLs were branded for the 500 and put on that route on a permanent basis. The novelty of the bendies has wore off now and they're just too unreliable.

& were would you put the bendys (apart from the scrapheap )

For the second day running, it was all B7TLs on the 500. Doing the honours today were 4108, 4112 and 4115. Sensible allocating in my book with all three boasting luggage racks.

Couldn't agree more with the Bendi sentiments. The novelty has indeed worn off: unreliable, rough-riding and distinctly uncomfortable sheds for the most part I'm afraid. There are a couple of decent ones (6006 and 6014 spring to mind) but in general, the rest are a step down from what they replaced, simple as that.

"Sensible allocating" also resulted in 3332 on the 76, and 2451 on the 79!
You'd be pretty annoyed to wait half an hour with a pram to see 3332 coming towards you

This summarises why letting the DLAs go in favour of getting back junk like 3332 was a poor, poor move, not that those allocations had any bearing at all on what appeared on the 500 today.

when i last had 3332 is was very bouncy but it seemed a good bus to me , mind you i would say its better than the B7 as my personal opinion is the B7 deckers are rubbish that sound like hair dryers

The problem is its a step entrance bus when MOST buses are low floor now .

If 3332 runs it should at least be on a high frequency route to save moans , stick it on the 79 at least there will be another bus along soon , as Reece said if you put it on a low frequency route there will be moans and groans and people will try and attempt to get a buggy on seriously delaying the service.
