Travel Express / Lets Go

I told him it was an nbus ticket

I have used nbus on TEX with no trouble.  I have had a problem before with diamond who didn't recognise the ticket as an nbus (as it was issued by Banga who have a different ticket style to diamond/NX).

same e200 out working the 11 today. x292abu looked fixable to be fair, x703uks not so much. I wonder what happened to w362abd and the w143wlr do they still exist or were they used for spares

I may have sighted W143 ULR the other day. I seen an SLF going into Wolves BS which seemed to have been ex dual door. It can't have been RX51 as that followed 5 mins after, the only other 'longer' dart chumber has is V210 which was in front of the bus I was on. 

[mranon]

only v210 and rx51 out w143ulr not been out for years

From the picture I saw on Flickr, no working destinations, no paint or stickers.

TC outcome is out :

Public Inquiry (80525) held at The Public Inquiry Room (Birmingham), B15 1PL, 38 George

TRAVEL EXPRESS LTD
Director(s): KISHAN SINGH CHUMBER
30 COTON ROAD, PENN, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV4 5AT

1. The standard national PSV licence held by Travel Express Ltd is varied under
Section 17(2)(d) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 ("the 1981 Act") so that the
maximum number of vehicles which may at any one time be used under the licence is
reduced from 20 to 15. The variation takes immediate effect and is for an indefinite
period of time.

2. To avoid loss of repute as transport manager, Kishan Chumber must by 29
February 2020:
i) cease maintaining vehicles himself and appoint at least one IRTEC accredited
mechanic with overall responsibility for maintenance (or contract maintenance out
entirely); and
ii) appoint an additional transport manager with lead responsibility for timetable
planning and monitoring and management and disciplining of drivers.

3. The good repute of previous transport manager Nimrod Asbury is retained.

4. Under Section 155 of the Transport Act 2000 ("the 2000 Act"), the operator is
fined a total of £6,000 for failure to operate according to the timetable registered with
the traffic commissioner.

5. The following undertakings have been added to the licence:
i) vehicles will be given roller brake tests at least every 12 weeks;
ii) vehicles will be given regular safety inspections at least every 5 weeks;

What was the point in removing Chumber's restrictions to begin with, now that they have been put back on?
