Forgot to post yesterday but Thandi were racing Sandwell Travel again. As my 333X pulled up at Darlo Bus Station the Thandi bus departed and was stuck at a red light so we pulled away again, as both the Sandwell Travel bus neared the traffic light queue as it was on green. It changed to amber then red and as soon as The driver of the Thandi had got to the front of the Queue he jumped the red light and turned towards Beer Bank supermarket. So my Sandwell Travel bus waited at the light so just Thandi in the wrong this time if I'd only recorded that and walked down to the Police Station.

Interesting how the Thandis seem to disappear after 5pm.

Theres one 313 timetabled 2 mins before an Nx 13, according to the app, at Wednesbury Parkway around 1720.

If I just miss the previous Nx around 10 mins earlier then Thandi should turn up before Nx.

Does it heckers like!

Thandi's 07:47 334 service from Darlo to Bilston hasn't shown up for the last two days I've seen it Friday and Today or  Thandi are either running very late on it which happened on Thursday and Wednesday last Week did not show up until 10 to eight

Due at 07:47 turned up at ten to eight, 3 mins I don't think anyone would class as "running very late"

Their timetable is crap on the 311 & 313.

If you're going to compete against NX, make a better job of it, instead of running flipping short journeys to Wednesbury at the height of the rush hour!

Yes but when THIER is two buses due after them one of which is a 333X it causes chaos at Darlo especially when you've Got Thandi, NXWM 39  and a Sandwell Travel 333X and today the bus didn't show up until 07:55

Just missed 2 Nx's by the Parkway, so I spot a 313 in the distance showing Walsall.

When he gets near me, the bugger changes his display to read Wednesbury only!

Checks the bus stop timetable, which shows said journey should have operated to Walsall, so that proves Thandi timetables are operated for the conveinece of their staff & not the passengers!

Thandi appear to be operating on the 37 today. Do not remember seeing that flagged up?

It was on the TfWM weekly email.

Question is will they operate  the timetable as advertised or disappear around 5pm after running a few E's to Darlo like they do on the Dudley route!
