RE: Avon Buses
Reports on Wirral newsbeat, that there's been a collision between a bus and car at Spital Crossroads, probably on the 86, hope everyone's ok |

RE: Avon Buses
This is a strange one . Why does the 86 travel via Bromborough Retail Park in the evenings Monday to Saturday but its Sunday Equivalent the 87 not . I would have thought some of the problems with traffic on the Bromborough Retail Park is that there is hardly any public transport there. Seems only Avon seems to think there is any business there . |

RE: Avon Buses
On a Sunday it continues to Eastham Ferry so wouldn't have enough time I would guess |

By taking the diversion via Bromborough Retail Park there is 4 mins recovery at the Mill park end and 2 mins at the Leasowe end of the route on the Monday to Friday Evening Only service 86 , the sunday service is even tighter at the Eastham Ferry end with only 1 min recovery and 2 mins recovery at the Leasowe end. N271CKB your probably right , Avon having no room for running from Eastham Ferry as well as via Bromborough Retail Park. |

RE: Avon Buses
Does anyone know how much longer the R reg dart/pointer 1's have left? I rode one today and they are excellent busses, especially considering their age! Id much rather them than a spryte or even some of the newer pointer 2's. The T and S reg Marshall darts are also very good busses to ride on! (For marshalls anyway!!!) I don't think the MCV's are that great though. Ride is quite poor and considerably less reliable than most of the older members of the fleet. |

RE: Avon Buses
Personally think the only thing that lets down the MCV's is the poor legroom other than that I rate them quite highly along with the Sprytes Been hating Urban 90's since 2001

I am no longer active on this forum. |

The latest issue of buses magazine reports that dart R129RLY is withdrawn. |
