RE: Cumfybus
Enviro200 MX60 BWZ was on the 193 today! I saw it at Belle Vale and it wasn't until I noticed the registration I realised it wasn't either an HTL or Eazibus one! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

RE: Cumfybus
Cumfybus lose route 152 to HTL Buses in two weeks though so if 10 are due perhaps 193 and 139? The other bus on the 193 was and X reg Solo, X172 NWR I think! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Cumfybus
The 139 could definitely do with bigger buses than Solos, last time I rode it in April on one of the Tridents the loadings would fill a Pulsar let alone a Solo. Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.

RE: Cumfybus

RE: Cumfybus
A Hybrid Solo have been on the 139 at least twice this week, usually only occurs on a Saturday. |

A couple of days late but I had a ride on YX62 EEY on the 152 on Wednesday and I can't say that, for such a new vehicle, I particularly thought much of it. The interior was nice enough and certainly preferable to that of some older examples as it has Esteban seating and the Centro styling but the excessive use of shiny plastic just looks tacky to me and the entire archway coving being black plastic also looked poor. Build quality was nothing to rave about either with a lot of rattling over smoother roads as well as the poor roads through Crank where it was particularly bad. The engine felt rather weak too and that was noticeable after there was a driver swap half way into St Helens too. Certainly compared to the likes of the Arriva St Helens 12 plate Solo SRs which I've ridden on the evening 356 which follows the same route through Crank as the 152, it was a poor ride and for a vehicle on a 62 plate, was especially shocking. ![[Image: 1chYP.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/1chYP.jpg)
