Airport Services Vehicle Quality

[Deleted]

I recently rode on 2 different versas on 757 and have to say I was disgusted by the appalling state they are in, the dirt inside on the windows was unreal the floors were rank the side walls and rear panel black with dirt someone had written in the dirt on the windows clean me!

I tweeted both accounts of YT and FT but not surprisingly not received a reply - they never seem to reply to any form of criticism having read through some of their feed.

If anyone from Yorkshire Tiger reads these posts you seriously need to address these appalling standards, people visiting our city travel on these awful vehicles and are not being shown the best side of Yorkshire.

I wont hold my breath for improvement!!!

Same with first buses full of mud inside and out, but the weather has been bad recently which has taken its toll. Probably take a few days to get all the buses clean again.

This isn’t from recent bad weather they have been minging for months, quite frankly they should hand their heads in shame, interesting Arriva allow this shambles to rattle on!

Whats happening on the lbia services....i thought all scanias had gone...seen one on this week aswell as two 07 cadets in shipley although 1 has been repainted/branded from tigerblue to yorkshire tiger (still blue livery)?

They back for the take over of services in may. Also how big is idle depot for all these extra buses? When the solos arrive.

From a contact of mine at Idle

The scania has only been reinstated as a temporary measure due to a fleet shortage (Commander 1410 is not out yet)

The 757 is due Enviro200MMC's this year (Longer ones I hope) to displace the versas elsewhere.

As for the depot, its quite big, it's a yard shared with a few other businesses, however the main shed is only big enough to take around 3 singles. Everything else lives outside. (Hence the lack of deckers on Airports which shows as a problem in summer)

Deckers are not allowed on the airport services anymore when Flying Tiger won the new contract on airports last year they were told no deckers and that the buses had to be brand new and have wifi and usb's thats why the e200MMC's were placed on 737/747 now the airport is wanting the same on 757

The scania is only staying for a few weeks until 233 can be sent to Barnsley and 1410 can be fixed
