MMC Recall | City Bus Manager | South Coast
Another week, another recall, apparently. This time ADL have messed something up with their Enviro400 MMC, a type which just so happens to be the backbone of 2 of the busiest routes on the Southern Vectis networks. How do South Coast Busways handle the recall? Will they have enough vehicles going spare, and will their capacity be enough?

With the mainline route 2 linking East Kilbride's town centre with Glasgow, it's time for National Busways to begin growing a network of local buses in the town that serve both to feed into the 2 as well as connect the different parts of East Kilbride with eachother. This involves a new garage 'EK' and some additional VW-class B10BLE Renown vehicles.

South Coast Busways are finally expanding into Ryde, already served by the WightLine and CoastLine primary services. The new services consist of the first phase of the Ryde MiniLinks. Rather than forming a core network as in Cowes, the Ryde MiniLinks are centred around the Tesco to the southeast of the town, one route in particular- the 39- doesn't serve Ryde at all.

Vectis High Frequency has been a great success for South Coast Busways, and it all culminates in the final service enhancement taking place on the route 1 between Newport and Cowes. The improvements call for an entirely new allocation, freeing up the 8 MC Class vehicles at SV for use elsewhere.

      I could do that. If I were to do so I would probably only put up the generic liveries rather than include any of the branded ones, and ofc only upload liveries that have already featured on the channel or that I don't intend to use on the channel to prevent spoilers.

    As you say, watching these videos is not as fun as actually playing the game, though I find the game a bit stressful, trying to keep up with the maintenance etc. But I am a fan of the IoW, having family roots there, so I keep watching with interest. Just wondered about your Sunday schedule; for a Londoner, it's understandable that you have a far smaller schedule, but on the Island, Sundays are full of tourists and day trippers! Still, the game probably wouldn't take account of that, so your approach is probably ok! Have fun; I will probably keep watching.

    When I undertook my last London scenario, I placed depots in exact TfL garage locations, and ended up running out of depots (as I reached the maximum number of secondary depots). There is a fantastic range of available TfL vehicles. It certainly helps if you have a good knowledge of London streets as there are one-way systems galore. The next time I play London again, I will try and keep the vehicles in each depot having liveries from the same provider (Arriva, Abellio, London Central etc.).

  • @PsychicLord
    @PsychicLord Місяць тому

    I find that the auto-scheduler works very well providing you set the timings (see settings) correctly along with good bus type designations. You could mitigate against your non-allocation issues in the SV depot, by a manual amend, and subsequent copy/paste to other weekdays.

    • @camjkerman
      @camjkerman Місяць тому

      That's mostly how I have been doing it. I found that max shift lengths of 8.5 hours with no break for the buses works well for the way I plan my routes.

  • @MrTsVideoEmporium
    @MrTsVideoEmporium Місяць тому

    Interesting management as always 👌🏻 I find the shift scheduler to be a blessing or a curse ... you can lengthen the shift timings, bus run timings etc etc within it's settings, but what the scheduler does is not always what you'd hope it might do ! Perhaps prototypical of early post-deregulation times my coaching fleet is occasionally dropped on local minibus services to cover mechanical shortages, the game sure does have it's quirks ... Remember the IOW loves it's open toppers along the coast, there's E400's & other examples in the workshop 👌🏻

    • @camjkerman

    Go into the scheduler, and in settings you can reduce the shift lengths and times between duties. I have the times as 15 mins for buses and 1 1/2 hours for drivers on a 5 hour duty length.

    • @camjkerman

  • @PsychicLord

    To get the best interlinked route performance for the Cowes MiniLink, go to the advanced timetable and tick 'Allow bus route changes within shift' for both the 102 and 103 (and later the 104). This will then allow (especially when auto scheduling is available), the optimal scheduling. Take note that until you have auto scheduling, avoid doing this for other routes as this requires vehicle type to operate effectively. I really like the 'morse' livery, not so keen on the darker one as this could lead to 'hard to see' buses for locals in unlit country areas.

    For next time, it is better to repay the higher interest loan first. You would then have had £50K available for additional vehicles. Depot activity during shift change is less hectic if you switch to 'normal' time; once the activity has finished you can switch back to 'fastest', if required.

    When you were considering some hokey pokey with the loan, you missed the most obvious option...... to take the £150K (3.5%) loan to repay the £140K (4.6%). This would have given you £10K cash, and also saved you around £100 per day.

    The 1 needs a slight adjustment, as the first two trips to Cowes are empty working, perhaps better to have them in service from Newport. Also to offset your vehicle shortage on route 1, set to a 30 or 25 minute headway.
