My point entirely Karl, hence why I've offered the armchair spotters an opportunity to make their representations via the correct channels.

Oh yes, and to put up and run a bus company, or pipe down!

Chuffin ALFs everywhere!!!

QUOTE EX PARAGRAPH 8: If you appreciate that they are doing their level best under very tight financial constraints, with very little CapEx to spend on brand new buses, brand new maintenance facilities and and tightly monitored salary budgets, thank them for what they ARE doing.

No it doesn't.

Thank them for what they are doing? Oh did you not mean thank them then?

Heres an example of how abysmal they are. I live in longford estate. Went to catch the 230 no 70 that left wton 145pm. It hasnt run, cos its yet another breakdown on an hourly service. It shouldve left cannock for wolves around 250pm. People are still waiting. At best, unless they pull something off pye greens or something therell be a 2hr gap cannock to wolves. The 330 doesnt go through longford, so thatll be a gap of THREE HOURS 130 to 430 , thats assuming they find a bus , if not itll be four. Zero communication on their social media. Thats pi## poor surely youd agree?

Pity they cant communicate stuff like that with passengers . A streetlite has been put on it now 30 mins late, it only tracked toward wolves from delta way onwards but hopefully itll have run from cannock

Was everyone alright?

Yeah other than being slightly flung out our seats by the sudden stop everyone was unscathed, the bus only had slight front bumper damage
