Feel free to Comment Below on your thoughts on today's awards!
Whats going to happen with PN09 and P059 Scania Olympuses, currently on the 54 and 75.
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening with the E200's that are now on the 372? Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the new hybrid buses on routes 54, 75, 262 and 372. They could be E400's but maybe NB4L's.
ReplyDeleteI think the 54, 75 and 372 should have got E400. Those routes don't need hybrids. The 262 is fine with hybrids though.
DeleteHopefully routes 8 and 15 will get NB4L's.
ReplyDeleteHow about London routes W4, 34,41 & any existing North London routes.
ReplyDeleteI cannot understand why arriva keep retaining or winning the lions share of the routes especially in north London?
ReplyDeleteI.e. route 102/N102 34, 192 are the ones we have an interest in.
Anybody shed some light on this subject.
