some B7L routes in Donny already need more capacity, passengers on 57 won't go upstairs but 66 needs more space and more seats, more B7Ls is not the answer 57 route is now S/D, they are looking at making the Armthorpe service S/D hence why we need to get rid of the 322** as a few boards interwork with 83/84/85 and cant operate under Clay Lane bridge There's an 81/82 board that goes onto 87 Ex 17:15 from Doncaster which is always 322** operated. |

The service it's self is very unreliable!..Tbh 57 seems to do not too bad for loadings at times. 66 does ok for loadings on B7L's. I've been making observations of services 83/85, If it didn't interwork with 87 then it could become a B7L operated route? The extra luggage rack on the LT52's I've seen these on 81/82 lately when there intended for the Airport service 91! |

My plan.. replace all the low floor area of the LT52s with side mounted flip up seats, both sides then available for buggies, wheelchairs or people who can't do steps
the existing accessible arrangements only work if people don't use them , if access is important then make them accessible, loads of seats upstairs for the workers

If the interior was set up better when they were refurbished, then this might not be as much of an issue. |

someone needs to have a good look at how people actually use the buses, buggies welcome, then make more space, and speed up the boarding times, no more faffing about touching passes on readers and waiting for a ticket that's not needed
I suppose two doors is going too far and long buses that bend in the middle is sci-fi

Latest batch of vehicles from Wright have arrived in England, no Streetlites aboard, just B7RLE's. I'm thinking the first of ours will be on the next shipment to arrive.
