No, Jay is correct, June 24th. Whether or not he is correct regarding bus and metro daysavers I’m not sure.

Haha 'in house!' I give it two years maximum before the first Metro driver strike when the union realises it can manipulate a public company far easier than a private one! This will not end well.

I understand that is correct.

I also understand that the service will be rebranded in a similar corporate identity to that of West Midlands Railway.
