DartSLF Opinions 2013
RE: DartSLF Opinions 2013
1 - Who was the best company of the year?
It has to be Stagecoach Manchester for me with their investment in their Middleton Depot fleet since taking over Bluebird

2 - Who was the worst company of the year?
Warrington Coachways since Network Warrington took some of the daytime 5s off its hit and miss whether you can get from Altrincham-Warrrington

3 - What bus(es) were the best delivery to a company of the year?
(This includes new and old buses to a company/depot that may have already been in use!)
First Manchester's Enviro 300s and the 2 Gemini 2s that are at Oldham Depot

4 - What withdrawn bus(es) were the hardest goodbye from a company of the year?
(This includes new and old buses that left a company/depot, even if they're still in use elsewhere!)
For me it definitely has to be First Manchester's Wright Crusader Darts, despite some being sluggish on hills they've operated in/around Manchester and Oldham since new

5 - Which bus(es) looked the smartest during the year?
First Manchester's Heritage Fleet

6 - What was the rarest sighting of the year?
Seeing a double decker on Arriva Wythenshawe's 247 Trafford Centre-Altrincham service

7 - What was the biggest surprise in the industry of the year?
Preston Bus Station being given listed building status and also possible refurbishment

8 - What was the biggest disappointment in the industry of the year?
I'm not from Merseyside but I'll still have to go with getting rid of Bus Lanes in/around Liverpool which means more lost mileage for operators

9 - What bus was the best during the year?
First 40416 the last Wright Crusader Dart standing at Oldham Depot, it lasted longer than the rest

10 - What bus was the worst during the year?
Stagecoach Manchester's 26131 Plaxton Centro, spends more time on the pits then it does off unfortunately
