I like the DLPs and VLWs although I personally prefer the DLPs. I think the VLWs are a bit cramped downstairs with the large staircase

Each to their own, don't think much of the Dlps, thought the Vlws were far superior.

Yeah I was quite surprised when 2614 turned up as I was waiting for the 410 this morning. Managed to get a phone picture at Woodside though. https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasharr...4924090101

Does anyone think if Arriva didnt have the Rail Reps today & yesterday (2 buses), they would have stepped in on more routes or do people think Arriva have only jumped on the routes they want?
