Anyone seen in derby advertiser re Arriva face possibly a fine or their licence being revoked.if revoked would it just be derby?

What a shock.

Ms Bell didn't even feel the need to attend and sent her deputy. The result? A formal warning and instructions to demonstrate recommended improvements on frequency of safety checks and a small increase in spare allocations and driver training.

Exactly what it was always going to be for a minor and pretty isolated repeat offence.

Typicl frothy mouthed local press nonsense.

Fair enough a minor offence.  But do you not think its a bit complacent tjat they don't even respond to a formal complaint?  People have complained about this happening on the fb page on several occasions.

Yes they failed to tick the box by sending out a standard copy and paste letter that you would normally receive from a train or bus operator just to satisfy the demands placed on them by Passenger Focus etc.

If other passengers reported incidents like this directly to the Traffic Commissioner like this ONE passenger in Derby did, far more operators would be in this position. The fact is that most passengers don't even know what a Traffic Commissioner is let alone how to complain to VOSA.

No they just hiss and moan about it repeatedly or give drivers an earful making themselves out to be the most hard done to individuals on the planet which does my head in

Apparently it will join the Derby fleet in December to provide the 8th sapphire buses and will be numbered 4600.

Does anyone know when the Streetdeck is supposed to enter service? I take it is isn't out yet, or is it?

I was in Sinfin today but on route 38 there was no sign of 4600 - or 4401 or 4407. The timetable seems to require 8 buses, which is what I saw when Sapphire started, but there were only 7 on late morning - one of which was 4222. 
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!
