Obviously this driver has been the nightly driver on the 510s for months, and with Maytree doing the weeknights from Monday he was saying what he would be doing now, and the routes he would be doing, and what he had heard regarding Arriva's intentions.

Now this is the bit that's interested me, he said Arriva had been looking at the 524 on the evenings? Is any part of the 524 tendered in the evenings does anyone know?

Doesn't mention any tendered journeys in the TfGM timetable, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

No me neither not sure, think I'll move on from that one Wave

Drove past the depot yesterday and noted that there was only around 5 deckers parked up in the yard. Do we know where the rest are? Presume they are having work done before the schools start again or maybe they are stored somewhere to ease space at BN until they are needed again.

Maybe this will give them room for the "10" buses, just a thought like! Last year the school deckers went away for the duration!

Ah right that makes sense then! I'm just used to seeing it on the 360s, 575s and 715s, so I just thought that I'd mention it lol! :P

well with it getting its engine fixed it can now be put in 2450, stupid as 2450 is full of problems yet you could have 2400 on road it less than a week
