RE: DartSLF Bus Awards 2015
1. Arriva for investment.
2. Also Arriva but for reliability, some of their services reliability has become awful, particularly 60/61 services.
3.Green Lane for influx of deckers and their average bus age dropping quite a bit.
4.Best delivery for me has been the commanders to Bootle depot and also those nice Enviro300 golds for the 1/2 Chester services, so a bit of old and new.
5. withdrawn buses have to be the B10M's from Stagecoach.
6.Howards buses always look smart.
7. Rarest sighting is difficult, a stagecoach decker on a 10A is quite rare.
8. Fishwicks going.
9. Biggest disappointment has to be same as above and I can't think of anything else soo the long standing independent Fishwicks leaving the scene.
10. Struggling for one in particular but the Enviro 400's on Norwich Park and ride services that I sampled over Christmas were quite nice. A lot nicer internally than the norm, so more them as a whole rather than one.
11. Well a dart would be an obvious one so I won't go there but there are any number of Pulsars that could get this one but I will go for 3058, truly awful with vibrations akin to a dart. Just about beats tarted up Southport pulsar 3033.
12. Can't claim to be looking forward to any buses in particular for the coming year.
13. Some Enviro400 mmc's would be nice in Merseyside, would make a change from looking at the old Enviro400.
