Well anything is possible, can remember seeing 3 B7TL's on the old service 1 (Firth Park - Town) which required no larger vehicle than a Solo! now forms part of the M22. I have seen a B7TL on the 1,2 & 33 cycle before, although this was months back, can not see the 33 (changes to a 1 at Jordanthorpe Pub moonraker) or the 20/20A running with double deckers, 53 & 75 are the most likely candidates as the exhibition is at the Morrisons end of the park. Still if figures last year are to go on, you could fit all the people what attended on a B10BLE! it is utterly crap! I am at my Nanan's tomorrow in Woodseats so may have a walk through the park to the exibition and also note what vehicles are been used on the local services through Woodseats. It says on FSY's website: www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/yorkhumber/southyorkshire/special_services/?item=210&show=1I didn't want to copy and paste the whole article ;D And i know already whats going on what and when. no deckers on 1/33.

Numourous SPD Darts on the 17,43,43A & 66, no SQP vehicles are required on these routes or even low floor vehicles until 20th July. Although they are not required until then, why shouldn't First put them on their intended routes now, as they are ready and available for use, and give passengers a low floor service, or would you rather they left them parked up in Midland Road whilst they had a load of B6's and B10's doing the work???

Cant understand that one myself either, the only route outstanding in sheffield for conversion to NSQP is 7, and seeing as there are now not enough B10Ms sooner rather than later it will end up with B7Ls anyway. I would imagine rotherham are waiting for a few more low floors to have enough spare. that will happen in next few weeks with more B9s pouring into olive and releasing various vehicles.

Rotherham have always had Solos, they are allocated to route 34, there was a B10BLE on the 34 today, so may explain the Solo, also a B7L on the 4/11 cycle and other on the 15/37 cycle along with another on the 32/33 cycle. . There has been a B7L on 15/37 every Saturday since transfer to Rotherham so I wouldn't call that unusual now!

Still if figures last year are to go on, you could fit all the people what attended on a B10BLE! it is utterly crap! I have been told that it is at a different location within the park each year, and this year it is at the opposite end, the nearest services being the 20/20A. Also, I don't doubt you could get last years attendance onto a B10BLE, as I believe it was rained off.

And i know already whats going on what and when. no deckers on 1/33. There will certainly be no deckers on that end of the 33 on Sunday as it is run by T.M. almost exclusively with solo's. One of these should be quite capable of transporting the crowds to this pathetic event.
