How much waiting time do you allow the WN57 service in Wednesfield before entering service at 0725hrs, as drivers are using the disabled bays in the High Street to layover?

Although the Mellors are small buses, the buses are parking and overlapping two disabled bays. There's much better parking in Well Lane with on-street parking, or on Kenmare Way at Bentley Bridge Retail Park with two bus laybays opposite each other suitable for this.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

32126 (YJ59 BCU) isn't tracking. In fact I don't think all of the ex Claribels vehicles are actually tracking?

With the acquisition of Johnsons we moved some work out of Redditch, this included the DRT service around Bromsgrove to Kidderminster

Hi Simon,

Couple of odd trackings at Bolton and Eccles.

20189 is tracking although this is now in the south east.

20885 I think is tracking as 20404 which has is now back with TfGM

33003 is tracking as a spare as I've seen it out in service 

33043 is another tracking as a spare. 

Spares tracking include:
Bolton
Bolton 1
Bury 
Eccles

Could you confirm if 33007 is in service as I've never seen it (not tracked) since it moved from Preston.

Cheers
Jason

Thank you.  I have spoken to the OM.  He is aware of the issues and they will resolve them

Is 30802 going to be seeing service again, don't think it's been in service for sometime? Or possible conversion to electric?

Hi Simon,
Please can I ask for you to review the data which Ticketer is sending out to BODS A number of routes are listed under what I would class as their 'internal' numbers (H40, S1, K15) which means that for passengers trying to plan journeys, they can't find their normal route (in this case, 40, 1 and 15) so may think it no longer runs. Alternatively, people may see the route number and be looking for that route. 

In addition, to save confusion for passengers, I think it would be good if you could work with Ticketer to mark 'contract' routes (N1/N2 and Birm Uni) as 'not for public use' as this could confuse passengers who plan their journey using these routes and of course they are unable to do so.
