Not sure on the details but it’s down to the drivers whether they choose to accept the offer or presumably stay at Selwyns.
Mct drivers don’t clean we only fuel before returning the buses to depot. As the buses will go on to work evening 247’s it will be down to the late drivers anyway.

Good luck with the macc duties as the 391/392 are both complex long routes with lots of twists & turns! How selwyns have managed to do it in 1hr 25 (according to the timetable leaflet I've got that's what it takes) in rush hour is beyond me.

I’m not learning it. Had a quick look through the route notes today and it blew my mind haha.

It won’t be long until those things are dented and filthy looking, I’ll give it a week.

They'll surely be given a clean to remove any dirt before any MCT branding is applied to them.

Don’t be too sure. These are going to be dedicated to the 391/2 and 247 and SHOULDNT be going near a smaller depot in the hills let’s say. Not all MCT drivers have no respect for their vehicles!

The latest Mct ‘branch’ livery is being applied to the MMC’s tonight so will be looking slightly different Tomorow.

Have they made any changes to their fares or is a £4.20 day ticket still valid on any service?

The MCT day saver is £4.20. Cant remember what a weekly costs sure it’s around £14.00.
The majority of our single fares are set by TFGM so not sure how the fares on the 391/392 are as I haven’t seen them.
