Bus Accidents/Incidents.

On 6130 on the 11A to Perry Barr at about 12:30 this afternoon and between the Tyburn Road and Six Ways Island there was a middle aged man smoking something strong in the pushchair area where all the babies and elderly tend to sit.
Some elderly ladies sat near there asked him to stop and his response was typically no and that he "doesn't care".
Hopefully the garage have this vile man on the CCTV.

Bus times says the 12:03 ex Acocks Green departure to Perry Barr.

Unfortunately, it's an all too common occurrence on many routes and with dwindling police numbers, the operators are almost on their own with this.

WA29 and WN11 are frequent targets for vandalism and it's a sad fact that this sort of crime is very low priority until someone is hurt or worse. Whilst buses are fitted with CCTV, there's nowt that NXWM and/or @Tony or any other operator can do to combat this behaviour or damage.

Completely seconded. That individual needs a lifetime ban from the network.

4817, 7508 and 7514 were all in a huddle today just before I got on 4817, and it caused to be on a short journey to Witton.

The only thing the could happen is NXWM saying we are not service xxxx estate after a set time due to ongoing anti social behaviour by a few idiots who thinks it's cool to throw stones at our vehicles.
