I see from today's N&P on VOSA that Coastal Liner are to begin operating on route 560. If, according to posts on ARRIVA they were carrying very few passengers as a 560 what chance to Coastal Liner stand in competition with route 89 / 19 and the frequent 59 over a significant part of the route?
Presumably extra and more modern vehicles need to be sourced.
Do they operate anything else apart from 905 Mecca Bingo and the one return trip 16 Bloxwich - Essington?
if you look on tony's homepage, you will see they have added a y plate dennis dart
When do they start on the 560?

I've always wondered why we have a company called Coastal Liner operating in the Midlands.

Wonder how much it cost Centro to keep changing the bus stop signs?

Ultimately it costs us Muppets who work not Centro!
It is actually the bus operator that has registered or changed a service that has to pay, both for the stop plates & at stop timetables.
Operators also have to pay for the bus stops to be cleaned (that's why Centro didn't care that the Corporation street bus stops were being cleaned on the last day of buses in corp street after all they weren't paying).
Saw Plaxton Dart Y 665 NLO in Metroline livery operating 905 today, maybe this will operate 560.

The timetables on bus stops have started appearing for Costal Liners 560. It runs beteeen 10-2 so around 5 trips off peak. 4 trips from Wolverhampton-Bloxwich between 10-13:30-2:00
And 5 trips in Wolverhampton direction with the last journey (Around 14:30 from my stop on the Lichfield road) terminates at Wednesfield High Street.
Starts from this Monday it seems

Will that go past your estate Nath?
Follows the old Arriva 560 and NX89 so yes it does. Think its an off peak service.
Any Idea which bus company this bus came from ?

Quite odd seeing a First-liveried bus in these parts 8)
Couldn't help feeling it was wasted on that route with only 4 passengers on board.
V886 HBY heading through Heath Town towards Wednesfield (The garage of Neachells Lane i presume) this afternoon

Not as rare as you think.....
I have seen one of the Presidents come down the A4124 Lichfield Rd past my school most days this week from Bloxwich direction and have seen it many times travel the same way many times before so i presume they do use the Ttidents on there. Does anybody actually use the 16 though with one round trip?
Here it is on the 905:

They have Two Tridents (V882 HBY and V886 HBY). Yes they do use them
I saw V882 HBY pass through Willenhall towards Walsall at 2250 twice this week, once displaying 'Rail Replacement'. Do they have a contract somewhere?
@Matt I think it's normally tridents nowadays (it's been every time I've seen them anyway)

T151OGC I haven't seen since early 2014
Y665 comes out sometimes
The Tridents I assume are parked amongst the rest of the scrap.
today was the ex stagecoach decker https://www.flickr.com/photos/stanjack/19927220763/in/dateposted-public/ on the bingo run
Apparently Trident V882HBY is out on the 835 tonight, never seen a decker on that before, whenever I have seen it it has always been one of those ex Metroline Darts.

Arriva run the 835 Stafford College to Burntwood on Stafford College Days, Coastal Liner operate it under contract to SCC on non-College Days M-F for the moment, contract ends at the start of September and isn't being renewed. The 835 is used by some people other than college kids, provides a direct bus between Stafford and Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Burntwood.

It's a public service. Y665NLO is DDA compliant.
@Solo1 @Ashley 60171 - Yes indeed Y665 NLO is DDA compliant but does anyone know if their other Darts TNZ 1186 (V653 HEC) and T151 OGC are DDA compliant. I think that there is a chance that these might already be DDA compliant but if not i am sure that they would be quite easy and simple to convert.
Converting to dda is harder than you first think. Remember you need to get push tests for different things & not many places that can do that

@countryliner I am pretty sure T151OGC has been off the road for a good couple of years now. I don't think V653HEC is either unless Diamond did modify that clump.
The 905 is running today.
I have a feeling t151ogc might be or not far off. think it has an electric operated ramp and other bits that dda requires. not seen it out hardly for a while.
@Steveminor - Yes i realise that there is a lot involved to converting a bus to DDA compliant. Although i think that it can be done with any low floor bus. Sandwell Travel have converted N227 TPK to DDA compliant and that bus did not even have a wheelchair ramp or a wheelchair space.
@Ashley 60171 @mranon - Thanks for the info. I suppose that if they are not already DDA compliant then TNZ 1186 (V653 HEC) and T151 OGC will probably be converted to DDA compliant so that Coastal Liner can use them on the 16 and 905 when Y665 NLO is unavailable.

The two Tridents operate services in the main with Y665 being the back up for these to be fair.

Olympian still out and about. think it may do a rodbaston college run. believe t151 is dda
T151 and the ex diamond are DDA, T151 was on loan early 2015 for a day, the ex diamond dart normaly does the 16
The red y reg'd one is on 905
@Solo1 @Busman Jamie @mranon - Thanks for the info. That is good to hear that all three of their darts are DDA compliant. Also do you know if the 16 and 905 interwork with each other using the same vehicle. I am guessing that they probably do but i am not 100% sure. Thank you.

Only routes from Bloxwich to Essington currently are the Costal Liner 16 (Once a day, Monday to Friday only), which will be withdrawn from March 31st and a NXWM school service - 868.

PD0001888/16 Cancelled
COASTAL LINER LTD
Route: Essington to Bloxwich
Service number: 16
Service type: Normal Stopping
Effective date: 31 Mar 2018
There last public bus service will be withdrawn from Saturday 31st March 2018.
Do they do anything else other than the occasional rail replacement, could this be the end of them? Its been said you don't often see there coaches anywhere but in there yard.
They were doing a Contract to the Rodbaston Campus of South Staffordshire College but I'm not sure if this still operates.
Members of the public can still get on the 868 only till essington were most of the kids get on. It does say on most NXWM school routes that they are available to the general public. I'm surprised that coastal liner is still going now but I don't think it will be long till they are gone
according to a fb page, coastal liner have lost a couple of vehicles to a fire in their yard. apparently 2 metrobuses were safe. does anyone know which vehicles they have lost. be ashame if the ex smiths imperial jonckheere has been lost

Thanks for the reply
@Pat.
So they need to update their website then as they still say they operate the 16 from Easington.

Yes, it needs updating. The 16 was cancelled 2 years ago.

They're the only people you can contact, as it's their website which they have control over.
YG52 EVY has now been repainted into the Coastal livery, cream with a red skirt. Just passed it running dead near Portobello Island.

Ah, gotcha. I knew about T183CLO as I saw that on rails last weekend. I just hadn't seen anything on here about the Commander.
Coastal Liner have acquired ex Stagecoach Optare Solo KX51 CTE.
Was that one of Stagecoach's very first Solos allocated to Leamington? They were 51 reg if I remember right.
Coastal Liner have acquired former Stagecoach 18069 - Dennis Trident 2/ALX400 - WA04CRZ - from Birmingham Busworks.
Does anyone If Coastliner actually operate anything, I think they did or do the Rodbaston (South Staffordshire) College routes. Occasionally on a Tuesday or a Thursday at about half six I used to see there Commander and sometimes there Solo either passing the 79 I was on in Bilston or parked up at the bus stop outside Aldi Moxley in the Wolverhampton direction. I think I have only ever seen the Commander with Passengers/Kids on

They don't operate any public bus services.
There are two school services listed on their website, 804 and CH1, dated as 'from September 2022' - either the website is out of date, or these are closed-door services, nothing listed on BusTimes or TfWM website.
They used to run some sort of school service from pensnett area you used to see the B10 around the hospital area going towards Dudley
They operated the shopping bus from Sainsbury's into Wombourne village (Tues and Thursday) which was previously operated by Midland and for a short time by Arriva.

Must have been the possible South Staffordshire College kid I saw in Bilston with Students on at like half six then
