It's a perfect example of why BusTimes shouldn't be taken as 100% accurate. I know 2545 was tracking as 2581 for quite a while but it's now tracking correctly so hopefully the incorrect edits will stop

Any idea what's happening with 7008 please? Feels like a long time since I last saw the vehicle on it's usual route.

4659 was involved in an RTA on Lodge Lane this evening. The Echo's news article doesn't mention anyone was hurt which is good news

One of the BYD's at Green Lane have been named after Peter Craven, a 2-time World Speedway champion after a request from a First bus driver, as confirmed by Arriva on Twitter.

If someone could provide me with the fleet number of the vehicle which is named after Peter Craven it would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know the score with new StreetDeck 4733/DG71VHK which doesn't seem to have run since late January, has it had a issue, failure or on loan somewhere else.

Been on most of GL's StreetDeck's and they're pretty good seem better build's than Wright built before the takeover.

Thanks in advance and appreciated.

Here's a Wiki link he used to race at the Stanley Stadium near GL's site.

Had a read on his page recently, managed to work out that 7006 carries the name as I spotted it on the way home today.

Little bit of a strange day here, at least 3 streetdecks on the belt, pulsar on 14, BYD and Enviro400 4664 on 8/9.

Unusually these days for a Sunday, GL seem to have a few pulsars out on 10B & 14
