Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

[R311 WVR]

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
Yesterday, I Went to Shrewsbury with A family Member. I was Very impressed with the standerd of Arriva Midlands Buses. They were all clean and well presented!

1) 153303 Arriva Trains Wales Class 153.
Nantwich Railway Station - Wem Railway Station
I Wasn't Really taking much notice! It was very comeftable, Tidy and smooth!
Good.

2) 2980 YJ09 MKX Arriva Midlands Optare Versa.
511 Wem Railway Station - Shrewesbury Bus Station
This bus had a few rattles and squeeks, It had a very clean interior and it was a fast, Smooth ride!
Good.

3) 2986 YJ58 PHX Arriva Midlands Optare Versa.
24 Shrewesbury Bus Station - Harlescott Tesco store and Shrewsbury Arriva Garage
This had horrible idle vibration, A Lot more than the previous example But it was clean and a friendly Woman driver

4) 2722 Y362 UON Arriva Midlands - DAF SB120CS/Wright Cadet
25 Harlescott Tesco and Arriva Shrewbury Garage - Shrewsbury Bus Station
I Hated this journey!, It was slow, Rattley and the Urban 90 seats were very poor!
Very Poor.

5) 2345 S345 YOG Arriva Midlands - Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2
1 Shrewsbury Bus Station - Monkmoor - Shrewsbury Bus Station
I Wanted a Plaxton Pointer 1/Dart but this turned up!, Still it was a dart, So i boarded! It was a good ride! Not too rattley, It was fast smooth!, Not very cometable though!

6) 2989 YJ09 MKC Arriva Midlands - Optare Versa
511 Shrewsbury Bus Station - Wem High Street
The fanbelt shreeched for nearly all the journey! It was very rattley drafty and not very comfetable! Poor

I then got a lift back to Winsford!

Today, Later I will be heading down to do some 'Trainspotting' At winsford Station, I'll be boarding the 37E at 14.30, Ill post late what i thhought of it, It will be the same bus back!
Average.
