Dear All,

We're currently looking at potential changes of the forum structure, with the aims to both modernise how we work and increase participation in the discussion we have across the site. The structure has remained pretty constant since day one, and now is perhaps the time to look at how we are doing things.

Present Setup

• Our three main bus operators in the region have their own parent forum, which then have three sub forums each. 
  
• The three sub forums for each operator are 'Latest News & Discussion', 'Rare & Odd Workings' and 'Other Discussion'. 
  
• With exception of the 'Other Discussion' forum, each sub forum has a monthly thread for discussion, with no other threads being permitted.
  

Proposed Setup

• Our three main bus operators in the region would continue to have their own parent forum, BUT;
  
• The three sub forums will be REMOVED, and the present system of monthly discussion threads will CEASE to exist.
  
• Members will be entitled to create their own threads in the operator's parent forum, based on the topic of discussion, e.g. "New Sapphire livery" or "Gas bus repaints"
  

Other parts of the forum would remain unchanged for now, with a view of us reviewing how this proposed setup would work.

Could you please indicate whether you're for or against this idea, using the poll above, and also let us have any feedback by midnight on Saturday 25th November? 

Regards,
Adrian

Without checking, I can't remember if they use any mention of the fuel type within the livery.

With checking, they have "gas power from Readingbuses... quieter, cleaner, greener" along the top of the pod v
The MMC deckers have a tag line on the back/side - "another gas powered bus for Reading"

With the infrastructure in place and push towards greener technology, why not tell the punters in my view.

NK13FJY/1511 Is on 'Max' X1.

Has anybody else encoutered missing features on Tapatalk? I can no longer quote people even with an install. It's making discussion that bit harder. The only options on TT are to reply (no quote) or report.
