Thats going to surprise some people when they go out in morning and find its a stagecoach.

Let's hope stagecoach operate these routes better then jpt as I think given time and a half decent service these could become real money makers.

Also now stagecoach operate 156 I wonder how long until all trips run to Langley against firsts 18?

They are slightly better but they seem to lack power, now that's ok on the 216, 231 and even the 330 but on the 236/237 they really seem to struggle up hill. Comfort wise the seats downstairs are very close together and for peeps like me who are tall a long journey can be painful

Any idea which depots are covering other routes?
