7617 in from WY for the extra work load

4016 and 4017 are also in from WY but for the school fleet to replace 2 more step entrance deckers.

more buses due soon

in other news the 714 is being ran by MPDs

I had a feeling that 7615/7/32/76 would be the four extra from WY with the step deckers being replaced with surplus DAFs from Bootle now they are getting the Enviros from Birkenhead....

apparently 4020 is also here but unconfirmed on this one as of yet.

Didnt realise the hybrids had full rear displays they seem very low capacity buses what is the seating capacity of them?

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
There are 66 seats in total: 43 upstairs and 23 downstairs.

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
How does that compare to a dla for example?

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
Check the fleetlists. DLAs are 45 up, 23 down giving a total of 68.

Complaints were made about the lack of downstairs seating on the DLAs so given the same lower deck capacity, complaints were inevitable regarding the Hybrids.

RE: Arriva North West - Bolton Depot
i think the hybirds will do nicley on the 10 as the demand only suits a low seated decker as you only get around 8 people stood up per trip
