You're all missing the point here. It's a not a case of 'what route a bus was purchased for' at all. The Hybrid may have had a problem eariler on so a replacement bus was given. It's likely it has returned to the depot and then been sent back out again. I don't understand this constant yapping from people about 'Oh, THAT shouldn't be on there' would you rather a bus just didn't turn up?

Suspect 3047 is to draw attention to the 2 for the services coming 'upgrade'.

Then the powers that be shouldnt say oh we got these buses for that route when they end up on all and sundry.

The 2 is not going to Sapphire of Max. As stated last week, six Pulsars to be refurbished.

I don't think people on here understand the bus industry at all. You do kow if Arriva doesn't run a service they receive a fine don't you? But I suppose when you stand around at a bus station noting what you call 'a stupid allocation' you don't understand the reasoning.

I have contacts at Arriva, who have broken down and been told there are no buses available. The first bus in being a Hybrird to a Solo is then sent out. A bit of branding on a bus counts for nothing. I'd rather a Hybrid turn up on a half hourly service than nothing at all.
