There is progress on the Snow Hill stop, with platform edges and other work. It's on the bridge over the Inner Ring Road. They seemed to be concentrating on the Corporation St and Stephenson St stops last week.

They seem to be way behind, no evidence of stairs/lifts for the new enterance at st chads(Snow Hill)

could have been part of a business plan, and logos was used on paperwork only,

Does anybody know what to do in this scenario?
A regular passenger (who constantly used to use outdated daysavers) now has a disabled pass, but claims it wont scan. I told him to place it on the reader (to check that is isnt blocked), but it didnt say it was blocked, but neither did it light up green or red.
I explained to him that he needs to get in touch with Centro to get a new one (about 2 months ago), last time he got on was about 2 weeks ago and I explained that this was the last time I would let him off. He got on last night and I told him he needs to pay as he's had plenty of time to get the pass replaced. He got stroppy and got off.... eventually.
There must be a time limit to a pass that doesnt work.
@Tony  @2900    any ideas?

you can easy buy blank id cards ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blank-White-PVC-Plastic-ID-Cards-CR80-30mil-Free-P-P-/141512843185?var=&hash=item20f2d29fb1:m:mf4ZRM2ZFo5aCcKpS46pVjg ) and id printers online and you can produce fake swift bus passes.

Why is there at Saturday service from 21st  - 24th December and 29th - 31st December 2015.     

Does National Express Buses think that all work places still shut up shop for the Christmas period and no-one will be going to work during this period.   Where I work we close at 2pm on the Christmas eve.

Surely what we do for work as changed from industrial kind of work where there would be a 2-3 week closure in December in the 1950's- late 70's to a more commerical based work where close on Christmas Eve and re-open after boxing day.

Tram 34 is now out in service

any news on tram 17

Strange how taxis are parking up on a tramway.  There is no taxi rank on St Stephenson Street. so why are  taxi cabs parking up. 

seen people walking down the track from colomore gate to bull st,   

60.50 for a months bus pass,  I soon be better of not working, 

Good to see how up to date the Midland Metro website is, price of Metro Daytripper is shown as £4.80 when in fact it's £5.40!!

I know 2012 for timetables as well,

When does the line works for new stops commence in wolverhampton

Well according to the article it will take 18 months to build, so that is 2016 out of the window.

what a joke,  i thought it would have been a dedicated bus lane or are they waiting for metro works to be done on Broad St/Paradise Circus before doing the bus lnae

A little video I did of 35 running under its own power in Bull Street today is at

what are the white and grey things on the tram

Why bother then, just open the whole extension sometime in 2016 or 17 18 19 20 21!!

17 seems very illusive, arrived 2013. 

mohamed al fayed does not own Harrods now,
