The damage is slightly worse then a damaged bumper, possibly chasis? Is 2407 getting cannibalised now? I think that was why my 27 was a no show today, all the excess passengers were loaded onto 7671. Does anyone know what caused that accident? RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - Raawwwrrr! - 24/08/2012 18:37 (24/08/2012 18:28)V671 DVU Wrote:(24/08/2012 17:59)Raawwwrrr! Wrote: 2405 has gone to SH for full frontal repairs. The damage is slightly worse then a damaged bumper, possibly chasis? No, but it would be easier to repair 1 bus with another NFS, then have 3 off the road, or sit around waiting for fibreglass body panneling. 2407 has the same fate as 2412, Just sat there awaiting fate to take its toll RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - V671 DVU - 25/08/2012 16:10 Good point Reece, yeah I'd personally say 2407 has had it myself but you never know! What ever was up with that wreck of a bus 7664 must have been fixed as it's back out on the 8 today...I pity the poor driver and passengers. RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - M113 YKC - 25/08/2012 18:30 I had Endurance Y457 KNF (2720) on the 6, from Liverpool to Warrington, today and I have to say that these buses DO NOT suit the Warrington journeys of this service! The seats that they feature are very uncomfortable, as a few other passengers also said on-board this "old bus". Also, the ride was made worse because the whole back row of seats seemed to jolt forward and rattle constantly - it appeared that what they were sitting on was loose. In my opinion, Commanders, Pulsars and Pulsar 2s are the only "suitable" buses for the Warrington journeys of this service - they might rattle a lot, but their seats are more comfortable than those on 2720 (and, of course, the other five Endurances). RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - K853 MTJ - 25/08/2012 19:15 Endurances? Living in the past mate, Renowns The 6 is a funny route, it only requires the capacity of a Dart, but the reliability of a Renown and the comfort of a Pulsar. I personally think VDL SB120/Wright Cadets would fill the allocation quite nicely! RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - V671 DVU - 25/08/2012 19:19 I agree there Danny, perhaps if Runcorn release a few Cadets when the EcoCity's come they could at least take the Darts off the route until the Renown's need replacing. I personally think the Renown's seats would be a lot better if they went through P&P and got some padding put into them.

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - MPTE1955 - 25/08/2012 19:40 I don't think that the renowns are unsuitable for the 6/7A for Warrington journeys as a vehicle but all of these Green Lane examples need a serious refurbishment as they are a mess. They would be fine for that journey if this was done as don't forget the Southport examples do a similar long journey on the 300 and they are fine after the p&p. The state of the GL examples will make them feel older than they are to the public.

It seems you are blessed with the sixth sense, common sense, one that Arriva management up at the top severely lack, proven by their decision to send away Pulsars rather than Cadets, the latter probably even more sought after due to the fact they are ideal replacements for Darts and other mid-sized buses.
