I noticed earlier today that 2538 and 2540 (reserves at Bootle from Runcorn) had been moved to the Arriva North West fleet list (still retaining Bootle as the depot) as trusted editors can only change depots, normal editors can only keep it as the set depot or change the depot to blank, but it appears that nobody (even trusted editors!) can change the operator.

Moving away from that, the other update appears to no longer class buses on the regionwide/seperate route map as being a double decker, containing USB charging, etc.

As a trusted editor, I can only change the operator region within the local area (so only between Wales, North West and Merseyside divisions, you can't change to Arriva Yorkshire for example).

As for the depots, I think only the admin can put in new depots. On my list, I can pick between any depots within the company which it is down as (so a bus in the Merseyside division can only have the depot changed to Bootle, Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport, Speke and Green Lane).


It'd be really good if there was some more explanation on it all rather. It would help everyone out and make the system a bit more transparent.
