I presume this is the firm that used to be in Rugeley TV station yard
The company has been purchased by Mike James
I thought he was banned from owning a bus company due to problems with tamworth bus & coach & the other ones linked to him
D&DH Transport Services Ltd operated from Station Works, Rugeley until c2013. Although some vehicles were still operated until disposed of in 2014, vehicle operator licensing did not show a change of address until late 2016.
Interestingly vehicle operating licensing now shows two directors - Mike James and David Harley, with David Harley and Michael Granger the transport managers, but Companies House shows that David Harley resigned as a director on 4th October, the day after Mike James was appointed.
Found this on a search http://www.mike-james.co.uk/
The ban was only for 12 months in 2015, that has since expired and he is free to hold another license.

Notice when clicking fleet for sale, it takes you to busandcoachsales.com (Speedbird Enterprises Ltd).
They seem to be selling at current 2 Optare Solo's in White, Arriva Lowlanders, Arriva Renowns, Midland Classic ALX 400's (Sold), another ALX 400 (Ex London converted) and a few coaches.
Looks like "Mike James" has more than one company to me.

Whatever it was, it was running with no rear registration plate today.
.
I was thoroughly confused by it re-appearing after 25 minutes as his website timetable shows a near one-hour round trip.
Both the tourist office, now in Lichfield St. and the heritage shop had old 9 timetables and non for the 12, which also seems to have disappeared off his website.

There reason why a spare couldn't run: "Unfortunately one is away for repairs after being hit by an Arriva bus in Victoria Road, and the other was at the maintenance contractor for scheduled maintenance. Things always go in threes"

They have in fact introduced an "8A" service.
http://people-movers.com/people-movers/pages/timetables/8A%209A%202017-06-08.pdf
They justify their decision by comparing buses to shopping...
"Think of it as you would your shopping, not everyone likes Sainsbury's, some people prefer Tesco or Morrisons, same products delivered with a different approach and cost. That's the philosophy behind our service, we merely wish to offer an alternative at a better value fare." - People Movers Facebook Page.

Well, it's actually working today. I was just driving through Polesworth and passed YX60 DXF arriving on the 11.20 ex Tamworth. The 65 was just in front and the 785 just behind!
Had a good look at the MJ stuff in Tamworth today, after several hours
8A/9A operating
No 12 Tamworth - Amington
No 15 Tamworth - Wood End
No 66 Tamworth - Polesworth
Are they in trouble already? Most the fleet appears to be for sale
Caught PN07KRU on the 8A and was about the only passenger for the entire trip, driver was driving quite erratically and spent more time watching his phone and texting that he did watching the road.
I fully support independents, I think having competition in Tamworth is excellent but its needs to be done right, this isn't the first time I have caught a driver texting and checking there phone, very passenger focused! No wonder there services are dead.

They seem to have a Wright Streetlite - MX12CFU
It is very poor if they can't runs services at all. If they can't run so many services, why bother. They should have just stuck with the 8A & 9A in my opinion rather than starting more services.
Out of the two services running today one of those broke down think it was the 8a

Same old same old in this case, always the same, start off with one route then go totally over the top with routes that he hasn't actually got the ability to run. Tamworth Bus & Coach, Heartlands, Network 2000 (?) and no doubt a few more I have forgotten.

Any new service should just stay running for at least six months as it takes time to get passengers to notice them, and it should be a long period of time before any new services get set up. Companies that put too much in their basket so early on tend to run into problems.
I do notice on their website that they are still looking for drivers.
And yes, there are buses getting sold, including the Darts that were repainted. Don't really get why vehicles get bought for them and a few months later sold on just for more of varying types. Should just stick to realistically one type of bus, less problems that way.
No service 12 or 15 today

Definitely a MAN 12.240, or the vehicle which should be carrying PN07KRU is. Metrobus had similar bodied Scania N94UBs but this isn't one so maybe they changed the bonnet and left the badge on.
The buses are for sale on eBay, and they are indeed MANs. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/222upd?_trksid=p2047675.l2559)

Unless he forgot to update his vacancies page, he is still needing drivers, both full and part time. So it sounds like the real issue is getting drivers, nothing to do with the buses.
But who knows, there may be a different problem entirely going on. Certainly think he expanded far too early but that's just my opinion.
People movers who don't move people lol
I've just seen PN06 UYS on the 14.20 66 ex Victoria Road.

In Mike's defence he did rewrite his Cpc Managers course and passed easy. He has had some very bad look. But also brought the wrong buses. Everyone is having issues getting Drivers! National Express are giving £500 welcome bonuses to new starters on Coaches. Skills Coaches are having to let office staff and fitters drive to cover there work. Even Nct had to cancel route the last time England played football on Sunday as Trent Bridge was short. The 11c which is Sunday's only did not run that day!

Yes. It's A222 UPD. I've just passed it being recovered by a very large recovery truck on the B5000 just past Pennine Way on the way to Polesworth. I presume it was heading for Stiper's Hill Farm.

Seems unlikely given Central Buses are reducing the frequency of their town services in Tamworth from September...
They migh be planning to go on more services

Sounds like Canon Business Park, where they do the indoor karting. Isn't People-Movers (current name) more a bus dealer than an operator?

I saw it there yesterday, looks more like it was in the BTC Estate off Anchor Road, Roseville Vehicle Repairs maybe? Judging by their general lack of operation of their registered bus services, yes, maybe they are more of a dealer than an operator...
MX12CFU on a 9a today. No sign of the 8 or 12.
He has a Citaro unless he sells it.

This week's Route-One Magazine (http://www.route-one.net/magazines/emag/routeone712/pubData/source/routeone712.pdf) reporting:
QuoteThe O-Licence held by North Warwickshire Travel Ltd, trading as People Movers, will be revoked on 7 December. It follows the firm's decision to stop running three Tamworth services earlier than the 56-days notice required. They had only been running for 17 days.
Traffic Commissioner (TC) Nick Denton also ruled that Director Michael James "deliberately ignored" its legal obligation to carry on running the services until the formal termination date and he "disregarded the need to operate within the law and to respect the regulatory process."
Mr James is banned from being a transport manager for three years, and banned indefinitely from holding an O-Licence. The TC said one of the basic functions of a bus operator is to make sure it has the necessary staff to run local registered bus services.
"It could have brought in agency staff to man the services, or sub-contracted them to another operator. It did neither."

Permanently, if there's any justice. Although we've been here before (& undoubtedly will be here again), this running joke isn't the only fly in the pcv ointment.
I note there's yet another possible stooge registration pending in the system...

18 months? Pathetic. [EDIT] 3 years. Better but still woefully lenient.
As I said, we've been here before (& undoubtedly will be here again). Give it 2 years... [EDIT] 4 years....
