I hate driving the tn’s and tna’s. Vn’s and Vnl’s are not too bad, but the best is the new VNW’s. Its comfort for the driver and you dont have to strugglw ith the controls and its quite a good seating position. I develpoed a hernia from driving the TN’s. True say they are quite quick and the process of closing the doors and driving off is quite quick. But they are old fashioned and too hard to drive. In our garage people fight to get the newer buses as the old ones keep breaking down.

In that case, the buses might be purchased back to Singapore. Yes.

Does this called “BlueStar to the Montfort”, as there will be below-par. Some TNs will be again transferred to Scheme B.
Do you thing that TNA given to Scheme B and TNL will be preserved to TPS?

Renaming from “Montfort Buses” to standard “Metroline” is not good.

There are BlueStar buses for Montfort they use on 42 and 42A. So suddenly they painted blue and white.

Does anyone know why Metroline have suddenly started taking Scania’s instead of their usual Tridents or Volvo’s. Have they really gone off the Enviro 400 that quickly!?
Not that i’m complaining- the Scania’s are so much more interesting than the below-par Enviro’s…. Still not a patch on the Wright Eclipse (or Pulsar let us not forget) Gemini though….

The innovation of the Montfort have MontfortTV, disability. Extended standing companion will be increased from 12 to 23 in lower deck.
In early 2007, Montfort everyday bought 23 to route 8 (becomes route 42/42A). They had new EDS. They have new sliding door instead of compatible door. It was the first one to operate 10.5m bus more than 10m. They had modified bodies by Kylein Buses or East Lancs Buses and then subsequently had “SEATS ALLOCATED” including fitted with new ticket printers, advertisements and hand grips, new outsing/plug doors.
Another 14 will give you 37 and 14 will be installed on route 41 which would replaced Scheme B route 641 buses. They fitted with East Lancs Buses, and part of Euro IV in mid 2007. Front handgrips are the same as London ones, plus the same as (Montfort Buses have 23 buses). Subsequently, it painted all over red with advertisement on it. They had no black screens.
Subsequently, Tampines Primary added Kylein & East Lancs Olympus brands using Scania N230UD

Did you see how some of the TNs transferred to Glasgow were single-doored so cheaply – it looked so wrong.

Could these be the ones that are going to be used on the 7 route ?
