Odd, it's competing with an under used section of route, a high frequency platinum service and a tender.

There is a Start Hill triable levante 3 which lays over at Wolverhampton daily.

Ok @Tony if the operators have 40% as data then excellent news I only have the data from the WMCA but from my own usage which I have photographic evidence the number of passengers on yesterday:
13A only me on the top deck
16W only me on the bus
4H only me on the bus
Today:
24 Only me on the bus
24 Only me on the bus
X8 Only me on the top deck
48 Only me on the top deck
19 Only me on the bus
4H Only me on the top deck.
Hardly 40% @Tony but what do I know I only use our excellent bus service as I have done throughout the Covid-19 pandemic so what do I know about bus useage?

You don’t have the facts and figures that back the statement regarding patronage. You have a snap shot of your personal experience which represents a tiny percentage of the networks overall journeys. It appears to me you also have all the gear and no idea! I’m amazed you didn’t fall out with yourself sat alone on the top deck. 

I just cannot understand why you have to challenge everything? Even when your not furnished with the facts. You either like to cause arguments or are simply thick.

Not necessarily, if you have an anxiety problem for instance you would not have been told you don't need a face covering.

Your very pigheaded.

The Transport Secretary; Grant Shapps; has today said he would not be seen dead on a bus during the current emergency. Most encouraging for those of us who have to use First and other operators  for essential journeys and those encoraged to return to work by his government.

Did he not say he would not be seen dead on a first Worcester bus ? Or was it all other operators? Seeing as the guidance is aimed initially at first Worcester customers according to you?

Had a ride on this last nite on the staff bus, what a piece of crap this bus is its an awful shed, myself and others were saying it's like being on a diamond bus shed.
It rattled from all 4corners unbelievable racket. Drive straight to Barnsley bus breakers do not pass go or collect £200

Walk next time ........

Home working won't last after all of this, people will return to offices etc where their superiors can keep an eye on them and the superiors will return to be visible. It's the way of the world.

Shops will fold, business will fold but the same will grow. There will be big winners and big losers in all of this.

We will return to what we were before all of this if not worse. It's evolution........

I did wonder if Trenitalia were on the verge of dumping the West Coast franchise, there seems to have been very little change since the initial hyper-activity in removing all reference to Virgin.

They missed the logos on the hot air balloons in the toilets!
