Quote from: Wba_lad on December 03, 2023, 12:55:54 PMSo today 19s are going down 31/32 route, I think it's disgusting the fact the kids are still smashing the buses, it's broad daylight, Chaserider and TFWM stopped running after a certain time but still looks like the little brats are doing it on Saturdays when they are off school (if they even go to school).
So what's the point of running the bus up & down the Bloxwich Road, apart from not getting a fine for failed journeys?

Well maybe because they like their buses coming back to garage with all windows still in place not missing any, and I'm sure TFWM know about it, if they don't like it take Chaserider off the route I don't think Chaserider would be too fussed it's costing them too much

Returns to depot and the driver is then finished

Another meeting has taken place today with TfWM & Chaserider and it has been agreed that with immediate effect from this Saturday the 19 will be hourly with 1 bus on the route (Monday to Friday will still remain as 2 buses) I am also led to believe the route finishing early like it currently does IS going to be permanent

Think he means the maniacs have succeeded in sabotaging the 19. (tail being the maniacs and the dog being Chaserider/TfWM)

Has this happened on the 19 before? Reduced to daytime hours and lower frequency on a Sat

To my knowledge no I don't believe it has not with ANY company that has operated it previously so this really is a new thing (anyone who knows different please correct me)

*If* the driver gossip of a permanent service cut is true, then I think TfWM should focus on providing their statutory services and not having operators dictating odds to them. The commercial 29 seems to have as much trouble (if not more!) and we don't see that ceasing operation at 3pm.

Perhaps a new supplier is the way forward, and the incumbent could focus on somewhere else, Pye Green might be a start.

If you was referring to me being a driver FYI I'm not BUT my partner is and I'm going on information which was given to me yesterday by one the inspectors so before you start trying to say it's tittle tattle it's not especially not when the inspectors in the office would know what's going on...
