If they have bought more new and flashier buses, the excuse will be they need them for all cruise passengers arriving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrG Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 It's electric so no doubt we'll be buying a whole fleet to save the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 We've had this sort of thing in TT Week before when they trial some whizzy new bus and then decide they can't afford them. But with Crookall back in charge who knows what cheques will get signed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Blackpool will be glad for the upgrade, they're still using the last ones we got rid of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Apparently been lent for a trial. We can’t afford these busses and even if we could we couldn’t afford the electricity even if a special rate was given and the time they take to charge up would mean twice as many busses as we have now or a very depleted bus service. I hope the Steam Packet charged them full whack and I hope the fair people get charged full whack as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought maybe we’d borrowed or rented them for extra passengers during TT Whats going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
