Usual precautions with Bustimes but it seems 2929 is here and tracking on the 18.

Probably correct as it was in Green Lane's depot 2 days ago

Usual tracking precautions but 2653 looks like it's moved here after initially being loaned to Bootle from Wrexham for the Grand National as it appears to be tracking on the 7.

I can confirm 2653 is here and on the 7.

When the Marshalls were withdrawn and scrapped in 2014, did Arriva intend on keeping what they could salvage from the interior as a need for spare parts? I noticed on 3060 it has a green handle (with a grooved surface) between one of the priority seating bays and someone pointed out to me it was from one of the Marshalls.

Got a quick question for any bus drivers on here.

This morning I was on a 14 heading to Queen Square & a passenger came down from the top deck with her kids & told the driver there was a passenger sitting on the top deck with a knife in his hand, the driver said thanks for reporting it to the passenger then went upstairs to this passenger with the knife & told him to put it away, the driver then came downstairs & continued driving the bus as normal.

Anyway my question is what is the policy for dealing with someone with a knife onboard your bus??

with respect to the driver on my bus this morning to me it didn’t feel like he dealt with the incident in the right way, even after he’d spoken to the passenger with the knife I still felt at risk & so did many other passengers.

Thanks In Advance for any help given!

I appreciate this is a little off topic but nowadays a driver can’t even leave the cab without some sort of disciplinary with regards to what could’ve been a serious scenario like above. The driver is in a bit of a difficult situation as there really isn’t a lot they can do. They could file a report via the Ticketer, sending a message to control on the ticket machine explaining the situation under the option of miscellaneous/passenger abuse, call the police and then ring up the desk from the said depot of where the bus is from (which would be Green Lane) to await further instructions which would normally revert back to waiting for the police.

I have a question, it's stated on the news that the 14 won't be ran by Stagecoach, so what does that mean for Arriva, will they get buses from another depot to cover the other 14s or will they remain unserved?
