YX61BYB is the bus with the filthy seats. 
The bus which changed stops was route 891. Normally comes into Wolves & unloads by the Cop station

4746. The inside.lights on the left hand side of the downstairs deck are not working

I recently said that this company was a Micky Mouse company. I think I've proved myself right. 
Today.....The bus that I was on had a big hole in the bumper. The driver decided to have a change to have a change of route when he entered Wolves City centre.
Was on another BB  last week. Seats look like they had never been cleaned.
On the outside of the bus the top part of a window was shattered & taped over with black tape. 

40819..Hot air is blowing out of the air vents on the sides.  Surely it should  cold air should be blowing out of these vents

30826..Do you need to have the heating turned on in this hot/warm weather?

Problems on the 529. A lot these buses seem to be running two or three at a time

Today. 4749 not tracking on route 80

I just saw it about 10 minutes ago on Shireland Road, West Bromwich bound

Any idea what caused the delay?

What has happened to 4766 tonight? Due to leave the Markets at 2255. For some reason BusTimes has it down as being on time l

I'm not too sure, I know it had a window smashed which prevented it from going on the road, it came out on Tuesday on the 50 again, but not too sure if it did a full day in service or not. It would be nice to see it on other routes and not just the 50, it would be nice to put it on the 16A and maybe the 002.

It will soon be time for the demo bus to go back home. Just remember one thing,  Diamond have only got the bus for a month

20918..The stickers are still displaying the 01204937535 phone no

4481 isn't tracking tonight on service 5

I used SplitMyFare.co.uk last year, which works the same way. The 'charge' is a share of the saving made, up to 15%.

That's how these sites make money, so I have no objections to paying this, especially where the saving from buying split tickets is quite significant.

For example, if I wanted to go back to Penzance again next weekend, booking a 'normal' return journey would cost me £199.10.

Buying split tickets for the same journey reduces the cost to £126.50, a whopping £72.60 saving.

SplitMyFare then takes a 15% cut of that saving, which works out to £10.89. Total ticket price comes to £137.39. (I checked SplitYourTicket and that gave exactly the same result).


Now, if I look up the same journey on TrainPal, even with 'split tickets', the cost comes to £143.80, plus a £1.99 'split ticket fee'. So total cost of £145.79.

Looking closer at the details, TrainPal is not even splitting the tickets the same way as SplitYourTicket and SplitMyFare do, hence why the savings don't add up.


Of course, I could save the £10.89 'share' if I took the individual ticket details and then booked those journeys separately on either the CrossCountry or GWR websites.

I've just booked a tickets from Sheffield to B'ham.  Paid £3.10 from Sheff-Derby £5.20 Derby to B'ham. Saved £15. Got the prices off SYT & booked each ticket individually on Trainpal

Stupid reply.

I didn't say I didn't like them. Your the one making the initial complaint about bus stops being too close, but you appear to only want to complain about things. Carrs Lane to Square peg is not a close distance to some.

Are you saying that every post that I do is complaining or moaning? If this is the case then you're wrong. I've done posts where I've said good things about Chaserider & Travel Express 

Close together? Perhaps you might try pushing a wheelchair from one to the other through the roadworks then say they were close together

If you don't like the roadworks then complain about them.
