I've ummed and arred  about putting this post here and if its in the wrong place then feel
free to move it.

I got on a 79 from West Brom a couple of Saturdays ago and the driver on there was one of the nicest I've seen for a long time. Pleasant when I asked for my ticket, though he did look surprised when I said please! And said "you're welcome" when I got off the bus in Bilston after saying "thank you" as i got off. He drove the bus really well as well, waiting for passengers to sit down before moving off, it really was a pleasure being on his bus.

The bus left West Brom bus station at 1400 and the driver was a youngish black man, if anyone here knows him, tell him thank you for a very enjoyable journey.
Just sitting here
Watching the Outer Circle buses

Wolverhampton garage do seem to have some really nice drivers, they've all seemed really friendly and polite when I've caught a 79, 82 or 126 in the past. Granted, I try to be nice and polite too, so I guess it goes both ways.
The 82 drivers drive really well too, since a lot of elderly use it to get from their estates to Bilston and beyond, as they always seem to make sure they get a seat before moving.
