i was shocked to see a 39 branded Dart driving through Townfield earlier on, wonder why it was there?

Seen 2 Darts pass each other on the 130 last nite, and both had simply cardboard numbers in the screens, no destinations at all!

An Impera-liveried Plaxton Pointer 2 with just a ''130'' plastic notice in the destination unit space last night was X511 UAT. I only managed to see three of the four buses on there, though, so I didn't notice the other one. I used W568 JVV (2368?) on the 20:14 departure from Glovers Lane in Netherton, which had a friendly driver at the wheel. I also used the 20:43 departure from Walton Vale - MPD V164 MVK (2164) - which arrived after 21:00 - but, again, with a friendly driver at the wheel.

Thanks for those numbers. There was a 51-plated Plaxton Pointer 2 on the 210/250 yesterday night.

Ah good not seen it for a while Mike with the fleet numbrs if they have the old reg E.G X187BNH then its fleet number is 2187 or if its P429 KSX its 3429
with the newer registrations some seem random

I suggest people who are posting comments on here dont make things up, X511 UAT has a roller blind which has been adapted for the 130 on a temp basis, we have just had four brand new destination blinds from hanover delivered at a cost of £4500 these will be fitted over the next week to any bus that still requires them. Our drivers are highly trained and friendly. I will not put up with anyone losing mileage without a good reason such as breakdowns, smashed windows, heavy traffic, road closures etc. We are new operator and drivers have been route trained on all services but it takes a short time for things to settle down. I will be checking this forum regular and i catch anyone slagging my company off and making things up i will be forced to take action against these small minded people, i will go down the legal channels and believe me i will.

2150 as it is now know KP51 used to be 2151 has just been fitted with a brand new engine and turbo no expense spared has just be put back in service laqst night.

sorry used to be 2511 but now 2510
