    Isle of Man buses and coaches.

    While not certain, my source is inclined to believe the plan is for 311-315 to replace the seven remaining 2011 and 2012 Citaros, as he wasn't aware of any being on order when we last spoke. If he lets me know otherwise, I'll report back. In other news, Volvo 182 has been dispatched to...

    Arriva North West and Wales

    Southport's batch is due to enter service tomorrow, with the remaining batches due to follow in short order. I've also updated the allocation list in my earlier post.

    Isle of Man buses and coaches.

    I'm not sure unfortunately, but my source is going to try and find out when he's back in work. In fairness, I wasn't using this forum for the vast majority of last year and I'd forgotten about it until I asked for the thread to be re-opened. However, my point still stands as it was late 2013...

    Isle of Man buses and coaches.

    Thanks, @Mag_seven . As shared by Route One magazine, Bus Vannin is due to receive its second batch of StreetDecks in the near future. These will be numbered 311-315 and are the first new buses to the island, not including the various minibuses, since 2020's batch of StreetDecks. Additionally...

    Gordon's alive. Can't add anything to what's already been posted by others, sad news indeed. RIP.

    ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) vs. zero emissions

    Older diesels will be around for a while yet, and rightly so. It is more environmentally friendly to keep older vehicles on the road for as long as possible than scrap perfectly serviceable vehicles and replace them with new ones for the sake of it. The construction of new vehicles, especially...

    Merseytravel (Merseymetro franchising)

    While I agree it makes sense for Bootle to get more MCV Evoras, as that depot already has some, what I was asking was: is there any particular reason why only Bootle gets them? I'm really not sure why and slightly bemused that Arriva has decided to have Evoras at only one North West depot, with...

    Merseytravel (Merseymetro franchising)

    Is there any particular reason why Bootle is the only Arriva North West depot which gets MCV Evoras?

    Best pies

    Absolutely agree. If my partner decided she was going to start calling me Keith instead of my actual name, it doesn't mean I am one. To answer the question, the best meat pie I've ever had was from The Farmhouse Kitchen in Southport.

    Far-right protests

    Which is exactly what I did about eighteen months ago. It was far more constructive than the atrocious scenes we've seen over the past several days. This is absolutely spot on. Completely agree.

    Far-right protests

    It is perfectly reasonable to have concerns about immigration, but I and many others who do don't resort to committing acts of violence to express them. The far right are not interested in or capable of debating anything in a manner which could be considered reasonable. They have used the tragic...
