Sunday, 01 June, 2008,
First In Doncaster:
EVERYTHING LOW FLOOR ;D ;D ;D
May I ask though, while I was In Doncaster Bus Station yesturday morning, (I dont travel on Sunday's normally but see busses all the time from home) Why is it that they have everything low floor busses in the Bus Station, I was there for a good 60 Minuites, and not a high floor in sight!?

Are you sure 40496....?
I suppose an hour is a fair bit of time, but i doubt they would have all stayed low floor for the whole day...but its possible, and it would of been nice if it was.
Thats a fair few low floor buses out, the allocators must have had something good for breakfast... ;D

Another factor is the lower Sunday frequency which means not as many vehicles to go out hence them using low floor. why put out step entrance when there is plenty of low floor available.

Yeah, I thought it would be about Busses being less frequency on Sundays, I have always wanted to Make that everything low floor on Miss Allocations though ;D

It's standard practice to have all LF Sundays, especially now Doncaster has enough LFs to allow this. OG's been doing it for years.

Yet meanwhile in Rotherham, some low floor vehicles tend to stay in the depot and after 7pm most go back to the depot, leaving clapped out B10M's to run, but I assume this is to prevent vandalism and no real need to add low floor vehicles to non low floor routes.
Was this not always the case in Doncaster, it certainly was a few years back (2003) when the Sunday main Overground routes used to get the Edlo ALX400's such as the 63,78 and so on and the rest the B6LE's and B6BLE's along with some of the SPD Darts.

It's the same on the 19 and 33 in Rotherham mainly at around 08:00 there is an assigned now low floor vehicle due to interworking so maybe this is the same case for the 11 in Sheffield. P915 RYO on the 109 today. |
