Re: SEM Skegness Seasiders

SEM Skegness Seasiders
Hi all At Stagecoach East Midlands the elderly Trident/ALX400s which have now retired from the Skegness Seasiders work lost their cherished registrations in favour of their 'as new' registrations earlier this month and are now for disposal. Volvo B7TL/Wright 16943, the former Lincoln Tour Bus which was PIW 4457, has also gained it's original registration (FX06 AOE) and is also for disposal. Former "Rocky the Seasider" 19169 has now been repainted as the new Lincoln Tour Bus and been re-registered from TIL 7901 to PIW 4457. The "new" Skegness Seasiders fleet - former Manchester E400 Hybrids - are being prepared for use and will be gaining the plates previously carried by the Tridents/19169.? The first few converted Hybrids will be on display tomorrow between 11am and 1pm at Skegness Bus Station for anyone in the vicinity. Ian |

First/York Pullman
Reported in the trade press that the proposed purchase of York Pullman by First Group was completed in late February.
Presumably the Pullman fleet is now allocated - through don't physically carry - First Group fleet numbers? As a reminder the Pullman operation will be managed as a separate entity within First for the time being at least and not merged with the existing First York operation. Ian |

Re: West Yorkshire Franchising
I doubt they can.? The Manchester scheme went through the Courts several times and all challenges were rejected.? Provided WY follow the Manchester model I'm not sure what grounds there would be for a challenge. Here's some wild speculation for a bit of fun... I reckon under the franchise model First keep Leeds (both depots) and Bradford.? Transdev keep what they've got.? Arriva loose everything.? A couple of new (to West Yorkshire) companies come in and takes Halifax, Huddersfield and the Arriva stuff. Let's look back in 2029 and see how far off I was!

Re: Arriva Yorkshire - worst operator in the UK?
?
I'm not for one minute saying Arriva don't deserve this, but from my last experiences of Arriva Yorkshire and Stagecoach it was Stagecoach that were rubbish! On my last trip to visit family in Bradford, Arriva performed as they should, even during a Monday morning peak.
?
I'm not sure why Stagecoach South manage to class Portsmouth as a seperate operator though and it not be the wider Stagecoach South company.
?
Anyway, the nature of these surveys can be somewhat hit and miss. As the people in these surveys are only scoring one operator, and not scoring all of them against each other, there will be a huge variation on how people express their perception of how their bus is operating.
