I know someone said last year that they got some vehicles with Euro V engines because they only planned to use them as a short term measure until the coach work picked up again.

Also be interesting to see if the 391/392 goes back to the full weekday timetable, rather than the 'driver shortage' emergency timetable.

From what I’ve heard they are still struggling to find and keep drivers which makes these tender gains strange. Several of my colleagues went and only lasted weeks there. Combination of monthly pay, cleaning your own vehicle and temporary contracts, coupled with long working days isn’t very inviting.

The 217 has been decimated by TFGM and Diamond. I drove it regularly at MCT and it was a busy service. The combination of route change and using the Mellor bread vans means it’s always running empty. Such a shame.
