RE: ACE Travel
Great to hear Ace have got the 157 contract. Was informed by a driver last night that some Optare Solos are on the way to replace the ageing darts although 2 darts are being retained for the 214 & 216 services as theres a lot of speed bumps on these routes which the darts seem better at coping with.

Had a journey home on the 11 tonight. It turned up on time, so no issue with punctuality, but it was a peak hour working that left Queen Square with five people on board when every other bus was bulging. Shame.
