| In early 2013, the Epsom Buses website reported that 8 new Vauxhall Merivas were to be acquired to replace their Toyota Yaris crew ferry cars. Just 5 have been seen so far, four of which carry plain red livery. Odd man out is LG63OED which doubles as a controller's vehicle and hence has lettering and side chevrons. On 10th July 2014 it was parked at Banstead, most likely doing crew changes on route S1. This route was recently re-equipped with new Optare MetroCity buses, one of which can be seen in the background. Although a new model, the MetroCity looks to me just like an Optare Versa with a squashed front! Another aspect I could comment on is the recent practice of buses just showing simple destinations, with no qualifiers. Some are thus too vague, while others are too detailed. Where, for example, is Lavender Fields?? |
