@Bus_Lover_22 @RedRoseDart @RedlineVyking You mean the A41, cause ik you use the route 347. If you didn't know, the A41 actually has a pathway to your school but it's hidden. I could show you if you don't wanna use the bus. Feel free to PM me :)

@HarryTrain97 @glowaxy Thankyou! Happy New Year, Mate :)

@Samuel_Packman @glowaxy Welcome back

@maddysbusphotos @arrivatheshires NNL = not so good NYL = best mmc ever The worst mmcs I k ow belong to the Red group I'm afraid

@arrivatheshires Luton based ADL Enviro200MMC 3135-YX17NNL seen in December 2020 on a 321 to Watford, when these vehicles were the standard allocations for this route.

@_KanezakaKiri @arrivaessex Can't remember if I commented already bit I have been looking at the 508 and as I thought, it's a Hemal to Watford terminating service. Buses can easily sir at the junction or go back to the depot hence the ridiculous unscheduled cancellations

@DPS30673 YX09 HJN is now with sullivan buses and when I last got it, it was a heap but that was a long time ago hopefully it's better now

Photos from January this year

@hazel110296 @theshowbus @RedRoseDart Had a spell at Garston, been at Maidstone, Hemal, Harlow, Wycombe and Aylesbury once again now seen on 500s since the time Hemal had it

Throwing it back with this photo of Arriva's 3909 (BD12 DHV) on 724 in November 2020.

@StarSwitchWorld I'm glad you did, it's a lovely bus

@Samuel_Packman Very nice! I got a ride on this bus on this route.

@l94fan @RedRoseDart Haha, no you are never rude to me. I'm just YJ08 DZDumb lol

One of Centrecrap's new old ADL Enviro200s, 550 (FE12 LKL, ex XX12 PSW) out on 366s today. This is believed to be a rare E200 with a ZF gearbox. (@Samuel_Packman if that's wrong it's your fault 😂)

@RedRoseDart @l94fan Shut it you, it was an assumption 🥲

@Samuel_Packman @l94fan Never believing info from you again mate 😂

@RedRoseDart GX06 there I got DZD in margate right. That's where DZB and DZC also run

Some early-2021 throwbacks that I found! All of these vehicles have changed in some way; FJ06 URR and Y2DRM withdrawn and YX10 TAT and GX06 DZB repainted.

@maddysbusphotos Thats the same type of interior as those FL63s. Any like that, I can't stand at at all cause of the high back seating with the awful dark leather. Anything else fine even if its high back that's my main reason for not liking FL63s and most of Luton eclipses

Ok think 3953 maybe #1 slowest Volvo at Luton!

@maddysbusphotos I'll put this strait, I suffer from claustrophobia and the FL63s are too dark/dingy and cramped for me and I find them boring cause they have less character than an mmc. I can agree when people say they are better cause they are more comfortable and suit long routes

@Samuel_Packman Never been on one the FL63 pulsars but I take it over the ADLs I saw on there today.

@l94fan @RedRoseDart @pacer142 True but they look after alot of thier bises better than companies like arriva, extremely rare if they ever miss a route and are generally good and reliable. I couldn't care about earphones and no uniform so long as I can get where I want quickly

@tvrec_busphotos If any more get painted out of the KX62s, I can only see JPV getting done. Then potentially the KX61s or KX13s. JVE and JPY are a mess. JNZ also will probably get done, can't forget that one

@_iiBus Same here, it used to have a black part there, it shouldn't have been painted

@Samuel_Packman Would've preferred more black on the front, but otherwise looks really nice

@RedRoseDart @pacer142 Wow never knew they used to have the 357. That would've been fun in 803. I see your ex stalker bus AWW creeping up behind, one I was on tonight funny enough 😂

@pacer142 @Samuel_Packman Vale are, unfortunately, horrendous. Their maintenance is nonexistent and their buses are shoddy as anything. One isn't even in the right livery.. and hasn't been for years.

@RedRoseDart @pacer142 But RLs maintenance is completely shit compared to the other two and they have some awful drivers compared to rrt and RE. Unfortunately for you, you like redline and I see why with all the darts and dekkers but they just aren't quite their unlike RRT and RE. But better than vale.

@pacer142 @Samuel_Packman Vale Travel are abhorrent, but Red Eagle especially are certainly not bad. I have not known them to cancel one service *at all* in the past few months! Redline are a solid operator, as are Red Rose. RL and RE have also upped the livery game recently!

@pacer142 Redline could learn some lessons I agree, same for valebut red rose and Red Eagle are great. They have dramatically improved since covid because they have gained more routes and better buses

@mitchell_hurd Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh on ENY but, EOA is a complete no no. I just generally can't stand vales solos

@Samuel_Packman Hey what's wrong with the Solos 🙂???
