How do you know Chaserider "chickened out" not being funny transport for West Midlands could of said we need you to run the full journeys now, or they could of said we are no longer letting you oporate it due to not doing the full journeys, you don't know if anything the user your calling immature, childish would definitely know a lot more about this than you, not being funny 19 is a dangerous route and I feel sorry for anyone who takes the route on falling into this trap, you have clearly never been on the 19 route do you don't know what it's like, I have been on board a bus when it's window was smashed it's not nice scares you to be honest at first, and when I've been on a bus you see kids no older than 11/12 standing on the corner of roads picking up bricks and launching them at buses passing, on a number of occasions these bricks hit the buses but luckily never smashed the window but left marks it's a good job it didn't smash as a elderly passenger would of been seriously hurt, and as for you saying "say that to the locals" some of the locals have said they agree with stopping the buses at a certain time because of a thing called HEALTH AND SAFETY. A few passengers have actually said they wouldn't blame them if they stopped running the buses. Yes I know it's not their fault and not fair on them but blame the little 💩s who see smashing windows on buses and cars fun,

I suggest you quote that to the other people who also told the said person that his attitude was childish.

And quite clearly it's been ended why an earth have you decided to kick your toys out the pram?

I've been on buses where stuffs been thrown at them, you don't see NX pulling off a service because of a minority do you.

Oh look another #keyboardwarrior

Only keyboard warrior here is you.

Quite honestly I don't give a monkeys what you or anyone else on this forum thinks of my opinion it's valid and that's it! & I hope no one does take it on because it's like I said to Andy Street before Christmas, the route needs to be scrapped altogether it's dangerous a driver that I'm good friends with was driving it before Christmas (mid November-ish) and there was an incident on the bus between 2 passengers (can't remember the exact details) it later transpired that one of those passengers had a knife and had threatened the other! So yes I think that is good reason for it to scrapped altogether and if you don't agree then I think you need to give your head a wobble!

It isn't valid though but you have to have the last word don't you, you need a reality check and maybe you should drive to make up your own opinions instead of using others.

Did you read it probably NOT!!

FYI

I'm NOT the only one who finds it delightful, the drivers on the Walsall rota at Chaserider are overjoyed it's going! Because they know that they don't have to put up with smashed windows and grief anymore

You say that then to the regulars of the 19 who have already had a service cut in the afternoon. Doubt they are as delightful.

Read my response!! #keyboardwarrior

Says the one who's 'overjoyed' about a tender finishing. 

Can we just stop this please !

Agreed everyone's sick of it. Its not NX fault so its a lost cause for everyone constantly whinging!

The constant anti-hydrogen bashing is also another thing that's getting boring. It's completely out of NX's control with the situation that's ongoing at the moment. Yet people will still find a way to have a dig!

I find your 'joy' at this situation deeply disturbing.

To be honest I don't blame Chaserider for terminating this contract early, however the conditions that TfWM have now set out for its replacement will mean it will be difficult to get other operators to submit bids.

What happens if no operator submits a bid? Does the service then end up withdrawn completely?

I hope you don't know anyone who actually relies on this service, who might be concerned if it is going to continue at all. Because they might not be as overjoyed as you are.

I agree, never heard someone sound immature and childish over a tender finishing early. I also agree, i'm sure the regular passngers won't be happy, i'm sure they wasn't happy enough when Chaserider stopped running till 6pm because of a minority.

Maybe Chaserider should've looked into what they was getting themselves into before chickening out!

4770 is tracking on the 51 currently in Birmingham. In fact every loan bus is tracking now

Hopefully it means this thread isn't constantly spammed with where they are now they all are.

And the passengers who lose their bus service? Not all  of the residents are targeting buses so why should they lose out because of a minority?

Yep, in that same wording about the 19, you may as well expect NX to stop the 29 and leave the complete area unserved and people stranded because of a minority.

That's not late running service it's a non running service

It equates to the same thing, the next one was overcrowded because of that one being missing! 

6:48 997 from Pheasey has decided to not appear this morning!

Out of interest, why are B7s never on the 39? Around a year ago though I did see one, even did a double take to make sure it wasn't a 34/37!

They aren't allowed because of Bridgeman Street, the curved roofs are too much of a tight call. Hence why I've only see Solo's, B6 and B10's and Omnilinks and E200's go under.

For the 51, shouldn't the ADL Enviro 400 MMC be in the also commonly used section?

At this point those and the E400's are the main allocation as there's hardly any or none Hydrogens!

So, it's STILL happening then...on the basis of this there is no way that Chaserider will revert the 19 back to it's original timetable, I hope at some point Chaserider decide they are pulling off the route altogether and I hope that no other operator wants to take it on and the route is scrapped indefinitely

It's up to TfWM if they want the route to be continue to be operated.

Chaserider should've known what they was going into when they bidded for it!
