Totally agree. Provided the driver has the correct footwear, and isn't wearing a football shirt, or something offensive, his ability to perform the task is definitely enhanced if he's comfortable.
I thought on tfgm tenders you had to wear some sort of uniform like shirt and pants as thats why arriva in manchester are not allowed the polo shirts i was told.

Surley its the same Optare Versa Hybrids that are used on the 26/29/35 from Eccles already?
.
The 34 just being a route swap for 26.
it not the tenders but Quality Partnership Scheme it within the agreement is. The Uniform Standard means a uniform which displays Operator identification and consists as a
minimum of a collared shirt/blouse, trousers/skirt (not jeans) and appropriate outerwear.

Simon Dunn has posted on another forum that more Streetdecks for Bolton (along with Streetlites for West Mids/Hallmark) were due to start delivery from the 1st November but due to the current Wright Bus situation, he believes the first buses won't be seen until April.
Can anyone provide a list please of which routes are run from each depot?
