RE: Selwyns Travel
It'll be interesting either way to see if Selwyns re-bid for this one with it being so far out of their usual area and because of the range of the Pantheons they have their own depot somewhere in the St Helens area. 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: Selwyns Travel
Sorry the the late reply in all posts, as has been said the current contract is a 1 year extension only as the technobus is becoming un-reliable at times. A bus was taken to Tesco on a trial with Merseytravel, Selwyns management but they wont be running as they not fast enough on link road. New busses have been looked at, i heard Optare, not heard if Selwyns wil ree-tender the contract but think he will..Hope this helps |

RE: Selwyns Travel
Working the final day of Liverpool Central rail replacements today were YN51KUV, KUW and KVA. KVA is the odd one out of these, lacking the "loveliverpoolcentral" adverts on both sides and retaining London adverts and notices internally. This, I imagine, was the swapped example. It was also my last one required for a ride, and I'd probably suggest it performs the best out of the batch. An excellent ride quality compared with KVD and KUV which are awful.

RE: Selwyns Travel
What's going to happen to these buses now then? Am I right in saying Abellio still own them, doubt they'll go back to London though. |

RE: Selwyns Travel
From what I've seen some have already been sold, many of these buses are offered for sale as it stands though. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

There were 4 Tridents on Riverside Drive today, presumably on standby if anything was to go wrong. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.
