Weirdly... It does make it the best bus to really serve Barr Beacon

From what I know of the area, it's a nice little run out.

I just hope the Bloxwich to Aldridge section gets a few passengers too!

The Plaxton Primo on the 41/47 in Coventry has been swapped with a plain Enviro 200.
The Volkswagen is still on the 27...

Driver of 30 in Coventry this morning said he's going to be working for Igo from next Monday with a new bus when they take over the contract.

@JoNi he's probably either applied to go there or has been TUPEed over

I don't know the arrangements regarding tender changes in West Midlands, but contracts are often won which result in worse conditions for the driver and also affects things like pensions. I appreciate this is a complicated subject, but good luck to the chap and I hope he won't be worse off.

If you are TUPE'd over then you can't be worse off. That's the point of TUPE

No Tony, that's the principle of TUPE. There are ways that dodgy employers can use to circumnavigate proceedings.

Have no fears he will be well looked after and no worse off and may well be better off. Certainly have a better vehicle to drive of that you can be assured
