Whilst I'm so glad to see so many Evoras in Manchester, I think it's just a joke that First repainted the temporary cover for the Evoras into Bee Network livery. There was really no need
The eVoRa’s with stagecoach have the standard MCV seating, I believe first may have specced them slightly differently to match the rest of their fleet which also have the Civic V3’s to allow for easier seat repairs
Definitely was first who originally ran it and I remember travelling on it on the W reg mercedes buses, but I thought it was from Bury depot if I remember right not Rochdale (as I wasn't sure there was a depot in my early years) unless they moved the 468/9 from Rochdale to Bury?
Definitely know that there was a depot in Bury near the Rock shopping centre, in fact, around 36:24, you were at the site of Bury depot before it became a car showroom
Mellors will make perfect Party Buses in future due to their lively suspension!
Nice
Not been to Rochdale since December when i went on a Trax streetlite with Rosso. Need to revisit Bee Network. Last bus i saw was 11504 in Huddersfield on the 184, that route i last did on a B9 G1 and G2 under First Huddersfield.
ahhh, im really disappointed on how they did the paintjob to the evora.... Why can't they just leave the patch of black at the front.
30:31 im sure you could probably sand that out however it is very unfortunate its in that state already!
2 streetlites came down to Essex
The mellors are definitely my least favourite buses because of the suspension and I love the MCV evoras because the ones on Stagecoach remind me of the 09 plate eclipse that my local bus company Warrington has.
They are converted mercedes sprinter vans, and are minibuses, not full buses
They even still have the radio from when it was a normal van
Hi alex
Hi!
I like mellors when they are used on the right routes but they aren’t being used on the routes they suit when they get used on the 434 435 436 and 447s where them routes get way way too busy for them they need more e200s at rochdale to run these busier routes (also they are banned from going to bury)
Nothing of what you said made sense there!
