Trivia: Most Vehicle Types In a Village
Trivia: Most Vehicle Types In a Village
Earlier on today seen a Versa on the 19 today, never seen one before, and it got it thinking we must have had the most different types of buses running through for a place under 10k in population (Seaton Delaval). Just for example today we've had:
Enviro 400 (57/57A/X7)
Enviro 400 MMC (57/57A)
Solo (57/57A)
Solo SR (19)
Streetlite (57/57A)
Versa (19)
DAF DB300 Wright Gemini 2 (X7)
Wright Pulsar (X7)
Bluebird Orion (58)
Not to mention all these in the past year aswell:
Enviro 200 MMC
Wright Commander
Wright Cadet
Volvo B7TL ALX400
DAF DB250 Wright Gemini
MPD
Anywhere beat it or come close? Can only imagine it being down the Durham area with the bad allocations with Arriva Durham.

(13 Jan 2023, 12:10 am)mb134 There'll have been a B7 Gemini on the 57 at one point too, and I'm sure 1923 was on there at some point as well.
Whose was the DB250?
(13 Jan 2023, 12:24 am)Jimmi Ferryhill had the following types appear on at least one journey of the services that pass through on Wednesday (assuming BusTimes is correct):
VDL SB200 / Wright Pulsar 2
VDL SB120 / Plaxton Centro
Wright StreetLite
MAN 18.270 EcoCity / Caetano City Gold
Optare Solo
Enviro 200MMC
Enviro 200
Enviro 400
Volvo B7TL / Alexander ALX400
Volvo B7TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini
All of the above were just from Arriva, although Hodgsons 113 will have likely been a Solo, E200 or E200MMC as well but a Solo SR is also possible. Will be more types if school contracts were added into the equation, but I can't confirm these.

(13 Jan 2023, 7:50 pm)Storx Had a feeling Ferryhill would be up there, I knew one of the villages down there would have loads; had a feeling that somewhere like Tindale might have been the same as the Arriva 6 and Darlington X1 are all over the place allocations wise with the X21 throwing up all sorts aswell.

(13 Jan 2023, 7:50 pm)Storx My mistake with DB250, meant the B7's - the DAF's went earlier on. Yeah the Centro definitely was actually, forgot about that.Areas in County Durham that have the highest types does seem to be where Arriva have routes operated by both Darlington & Belmont depots.
