Starship Bus

[Neal]

Has anyone been on one of these nice looking buses yet? They look nice, sound nice and don't appear to pump out tons of black smoke and smells when going past

Transdev Starship providing bus services around Burnley, we're light years ahead!

They look very posh have they increased the fares in order to pay for the fleet of starships,i know they would do that where i live.

They look very posh Neal, wonder if we'll be getting them in our neck of the woods

They look like the 'Spot Ons' that we have in Hyndburn and Blackburn.

They look quite flash for buses, not been on one - I like the buses on the Manchester run, comfy leather seats!

Will certainly have no excuse for not seeing those ! They look very sexy. Used to love getting on a new bus when I was little. Something about the smell too.
Love the name too .. Starship, yes, kids will love it.

Goes off to get bus pass >>>>>>>>>>>>>...

they will need to be careful if they decide to run them anywhere near Tod, the aliens will get them.

I'm with Col Kurtz, i do like the manchester buses. To be honest its about the only time I do go on buses.

Yea they are really nice. My mate is a bus driver and i often go on a round with him.. just for the ride.

The buses are quite smart and are comfy. They are really nice and soon the old buses like the Dennis Darts and the Volvo's will be going soon.

Burney and Pendle are going to be one of the most modern bus fleet by 2009.

Yea the buses don't kick out smoke hehe.. they are low emission buses with a nice noise reduced engine.

Although people slag burnley off, we have quite a good transport options available.

i used to drive then buses intil last week, they are a bit cramped in the cabin space for the driver but other than that they are a lovely bus to drive and bloody fast, dont even think of racing one from a standing start unless you have a sports car, they also have 2 types of fuel, diesel and something called adblue.

The buses are made by optare and i think they have a cummins engine

My husband is a coach driver but has been known to do the odd service bus run too and I have sometimes gone along with him just for a ride round! Not as posh as those lovely new buses though.
