Cumfybus

RE: Cumfybus
A cracking set of routes for a start up in the area. 10 tenders won in one go is impressive, MCT won 12 but they had been in the area a few years. Very impressive I must say

That was YJ12 GXF , spotted that myself whilst on the 76

Thanks peter first one of those ive seen broken down!

No worries mate I was quite surprised myself to see it with its back open! another did conk out recently as MX04 VLU took its place on the C5 at one point a few weeks back , one hybrid had its cooling fan on the other day , could just be a minor case of coolant needed for the vehicles

There are 13.
10 for the Citylink with 1 spare (For what was the Liverpool Depot/now merged to Aintree).
1 for the EL1 with 1 spare, a contract cumfybus lost to SLT before they arrived (For what was Southport Depot)

So technically, There are 3 buses which are spare to go on any other service, and 10 for the Citylink PVR 10 contract

A rather down at heel and scruffy MX06YYA is operating on the 15 route in Southport today and yesterday.

Isn't it PVR 11?

As far as I can see there are nine on all day services - three on CityLink, and two each on C4/C5/C7. (Prior to the changes it was three on C1/C3, which interwork, and two each on C2/C4/C5.)

Then a couple of extra buses are needed to do the morning peak extras between Brunswick and Queen Square on the C4/C5, making eleven.

RE: Cumfybus
Convinced I've just seen a brand new Solo M7200SE-R on route C2 (similar to the new ones HTL have).

Unusual 'tadpole roof' styling, the first time I've seen CUMFYBUS use this type of design.
Too far away to get a positive ID, but it'll obviously be on a 13-plate.

I expect the official launch of this bus (or buses if there are anymore) will be tomorrow for the new CityLink service
