This thread is for buses on loan. Why? We already have a thread elsewhere about "bus transfers" which covers the topic perfectly well. Have you decided you don't like the existing structure of threads as you keep setting up new ones when the topic is already dealt with somewhere else? I was thinking the same when I see this - seems to be a rather sudden increase in new members signing up up the last few days - Hope these members are not shall we say of the green colour

Have you decided you don't like the existing structure of threads as you keep setting up new ones when the topic is already dealt with somewhere else? I think you're being very rude here. I've never seen this 'bus transfers' thread. As for the second part, how dare you! Do not reply in my threads again!

This thread is for buses on loan. There's actually a similar thread that already exist called 'Buses on Loan' which was setup in August 15th 2013. Best thing to do if you want to set up future threads is to do a search within this site to see if a similar one already exist. If the said thread happens to be locked (ie can't post on it) then you can send a private message to one of the moderators for further advice. Hope this helps

MODS MSG.
I must admit I do not see much point to this thread as the content can be covered by other active threads we have open - 'Bus Transfers' or within the respective operator threads.... it also is on the wrong board.
I will move this to the 'vehicles' section and we shall see how much use it gets - if not much then I may lock it and you can use the 2 suggestions above.

If anyone doesn't want to use this thread, then don't use it! Obviously you don't have any respect for new members! I quit! Why are you deleting your account? I've had enough of this forum. Without naming any names, some people can be quite rude. Hi LondonBusMan1 I see your new on here and I will make this a polite welcome. Firstly Welcome As a new member I do not think attacking your posts is nessasary, nor is it welcoming. I need to just put a reminder that everyone was once new to this group and had to learn things etc... however forum staff will do nessasary things to forum posts or threads which may duplicate others. The staff will probably mention to have a look at the forum charter, but this is not my place to really state this but have included it. I will state some stuff here to guide you rather than upset. I see your good intentions to begin new threads, but before you do have a look in the board for any thread which may be related to your topic before creating a new one. Whilst it is very rare for buses to be loaned between companies I think this thread would be a good record as the Bus Transfers thread is very long. Adding my input below of some past loans. Just change the name to "Buses On Loan/Past Present" and would be quite useful..

Londonbusman1 - don't quit in a huff. Yes, some of us do get a bit snappy, but you are new here and don't really know the ropes. I'd suggest perhaps just looking at what kind of threads are created which are successful rather than starting a load of them - and perhaps avoid creating new threads for topics that have already similarly been made. I realise that I myself haven't started very many topics in my two years here...

I would feel your way into a new forum : have a read for a couple of weeks to get a feel of the forum style. You're then less likely to attract criticism. Except maybe from awkward so and sos like me who mean no malice, but can be deliberately acidic, in the loveliest way Anyway, back on topic : am very excitedly looking forward to Citaro '23114' 's visit to route 380

Having dug through the archives, I have merged the existing buses on loan thread and the new one. Please continue to use this thread for its intended purpose and thank you for those of you that have mentioned the existence of the existing thread! Most queries seem to be of the ilk: "Where's it gone?/what's happened to it?" When I was a kid in the '50's, we knew where it had come from. When garage codes and running numbers used metal stencil plates, there was a way to identify the 'parent' garage. Above the outside of the drivers cab was a little plate with the 'parent' garage code painted on.(See the attached photo, not mine) I noticed there were regular 'loans' between SW and CA, and the handiest of the lot for operational purposes was Q and WL Obviously when garage codes were painted on, this little bit of history died.
