Quote from: Tony on November 23, 2023, 07:07:15 AMJust waiting for a train at Stafford and I noticed JW65GSW which I need a photo of, is on the 9 due at the Station at 0655 according to the timetable, so walk outside to see it go past at 0646 9 minutes early
The train station isn't a timing point, we get 20 minutes from highfields into town at that time of the morning and obviously if you have no traffic then you get into town ahead of schedule. So it may of appeared early but I'm sure it would of left it's first timing point on time.

As always if you have a complaint feel free to email the company and I'm sure it will be dealt with accordingly.

Quote from: hlliwmai on September 25, 2023, 06:39:50 PMI did think there was something wrong with the machines the other day when I boarded the 875 in Cannock I scanned my Chaserider Staff Pass on the machine and I think it came up on the machine with BARCODE DENIED I just showed my pass to the driver I knew it wasn't my pass because it worked perfectly fine on a 74 in Stafford

there's nothing wrong, they just aren't set up to accept Chaserider staff passes

Quote from: hlliwmai on September 12, 2023, 10:55:16 PMWould be interesting to see IF these routes get picked up other operator(s) I have 3 in mind but 2 of them are extreme wildcards but anything is possible


(1)  Arriva.... Could it be possible to see them operating in Cannock again that would be quite odd to see

(2)  Diamond.... Could it be also possible for them to start operating in Cannock, I could only assume if this did happen it would operate via the Burton depot

(3) Select.... Obviously this is the sister company to Chaserider so they are probably most plausible to pick these routes up but it is whether they would want them
Just to point out again... select are NOT a sister company to Chaserider!

Quote from: hlliwmai on July 11, 2023, 07:10:40 PMthe Thandi ones? I doubt they had little or any maintenance when owned by them

We only had one from thandi and it was in a much better state than the arriva ones.

Quote from: pndriver on December 18, 2022, 03:55:31 PMThere's not a shortage of drivers at green bus. The 242 was taking less than £20 per day, with no funding. This is the reason it was withdrawn.
Thats funny since select took on the 242 we have been taking at least 100 a day

Did the E400 have NSA's when new? I've been on several on them now and none of them have any, 4412 had the screen showing stop names with no audio?

They all got turned off about 3 years ago

So will that mean it does a double run down Bridgnorth Road to serve Wollaston, if its keeping the crem bit, or will it lose the bit to Stourbridge Junction I wonder

Stourbridge junction is only being served on I think 1 trip in the morning and 1 trip on the evening

Saw one of them in Nuneaton yesterday with the scruffiest remnants of branding I've ever seen.

If your referring to the e200s then that's Hinckley (Wigston)

The 432\841 I think ur find will Interwork with 74 for driver breaks & the drivers on the services select will b running could transfer to select
The 432 doesn't interwork with anything it's standalone

As for the 841 I'm not sure as it not being ran from here until next week.

Yes, strange how a vehicle can go from being perfectly decent to disgusting when transferred to Cannock......

It was withdrawn before it ended up at cannock...

It was parked there to be used for spares on the rest of the commanders
