Part of the problem may be that our motorways are horribly congested, and carry much more traffic than was originally planned. Think of the A1(M) between the A14 and Peterborough - a four lane motorway with plenty of space to overtake, a pleasure to drive on and no problems.

Matchbox and Hewitts Farm, Orpington used some RTs on staff / fruit pickers routes. Ceylon took several RTs and RTLs. See Ian's Bus Stop website http://www.busspotter.com/RT/RT.htm

I think the award for the worst final sentence is from Penalty Services - Thank you for using Penalty Services. As if you have a choice!

Game, set and match?

I've also heard that since so few cyclists use dedicated cycle paths, a lot of debris gets scattered across the cycle paths such that any cyclist using it would soon get punctures, hence they don't use them. So yes, probably an idea with good intentions, but a waste of money.

I'm always think back to how long it took for Optare to eventually build these five buses, and how BYD was able to produce a new double decker after their split with ADL, and get orders for 100's of them, seemingly untested, and to deliver them so quickly. Yes, BYD is a larger company and has...

Growing the economy is a laudable objective, but increasing the cost of employing staff (leading to inflating costs of the finished product or increasing the numbers unemployed), talking down the economy, and borrowing more to fund increasing public sector revenue costs (which will increase...

I'm not a fan of bonus payments to civil servants, but maybe if they met stretching targets and underspent their budget by a certain percentage , then maybe they should. This may focus their minds more.

ie 12, 13 and 20 are now missing in action; 18 is back in service. Still confused why there are more buses in service than the PVR. Are there any roadworks causing delays? There's nothing on the TfL disruptions page.

I believe that today, (so far!) is the first day that route 358 has operated with a full fleet of Irizar ie Trams; often there has been a Streetlite, Citaro or Dart helping out. Bizarrely, there are 18 ie Trams out today; the PVR is only 17. Attached is a screenshot of London Bus Finder...

Is there much difference between a Solo and a Metrocity - the latter looks just like a door-forward Solo? If so, if they take on the Solo, they might as well take on the Metrocity.

Would Mellor be interested in building Solos, as a complete in-house build as opposed to body on chassis? Could maybe be complementary to their existing range? The larger Solos are bigger than Mellor currently body.

If there is a note on the PNC, would this have any effect on trying to get a mortgage or other loan? If so, it does need to be resolved.

There is a slight issue with regards to the unpaid / paid fare since the OP says they only paid £3.90.

There was also an article in Buses magazine about their 'repatriation' - I think it was the February edition

Do you have a receipt or other evidence of buying that ticket? If so, is anything owed?

I thought Go-Ahead / Metrobus might have been a good fit.

But will it be standardised under Great British Railways?

When Go-Coach was taken over, Go-Coach seemed to have assumed responsibility for major maintenance, and buses were often swapped between the two fleets. So was the ownership of Hulley's fleet transferred to Go-Coach at that time, maybe to give Hulleys some cash flow? Some of the E200s hired by...
