That is a poor excuse for an Olympian being on one of these services. I see prams on the 86 regularly and I'm sure many other routes do. These routes are meant to be "Quality" Bus Partnerships and they see breaches every day from both sides, weather it be these Olympians from Arriva or SPDs from Stagecoach. Breaches are breaches. Just seems like both bus companies have adopted the Merseytravel mentality of not giving a damn about it.

Even if SPDs are a breach of so-called QBP regulations, they offer a slight increase in capacity. Personally, I see no problem with them being on such services (especially the 82/86 - an improvement over the smaller [but newer] Darts).

It's a difficult situation. There's one thing that we can all agree on - the Palatine 2s have outstayed their welcome.
