Wouldn't run back at 6PM would it and I'll have to get NX services from Darlaston to Walsall and Ik Nbus is accepted on NX in Lichfield

js get it one way then, at least one way will be faster plus its a nice route

On Saturday I will be travelling to Lichfield getting the bus there is fine 12:00 8 to Lichfield, coming back 17:42 or 18:17 I know the 8 takes an hour is there any quicker Buses that I could get on that meet the number 8 does the 10 meet if so is there much difference. I would check Bustimes but I don't know if the Number 10 does meet the Number 8 at all.

could get the chaserider 36

How many Voyagers are cross country gonna get

Target the cars not the buses, theyre the ones doing the most damage to the environment and releasing the most fumes

4806: this thing is so sluggish and slow it took a while to get up to 30mph and it could barely get up any hills. It used to be fast but have a slipping gearbox, id rather that than what i got today

I prefer slow bus that sound good

Walsall needed a tacho bus for today

What is tacho bus

6722 on loan to WB with 6991 going the other way to WA

whats the point of that then...

what is the engine of optare metrocity yj15aav 39?

There seems to be several comments recently over the Hayley Green section reliability.

Has it got to be serviced by the 4 group of services, or can another route take over that section?

It seems to me that certain routes seem to be operated for operator conveinice rather than reliability.

Back in the Wmpte days, you had 2 routes, one between Walsall & West Bromwich & another between West Brom & Halesowen.

thats actually a good point, every time I get the 4H from Halesowen towards Walsall it empties out practically 
I wonder if you could cover the Hayley Green-Halesowen with a 142/A or 192
just speculation

Preston's B7RLE 30858 is currently on the 192 with Preston base livery + Diamond Fleetnames & paper route number

how longs that here for, assuming its on loan

do 4938 and 4939 carry the same black livery as when they were on 902 904 and 905?

4849 was not tracking on 907 today

didnt say it was - try relying on the 826 828 like some of us have to!!  a 64 plate 'door forward solo' isnt really investment in some up to date vehicles is it really

aren't metrocities way longer than solos

Decided to try out the 11 today for 4 hours, and I witnessed 3 incidents involving this operator. The first one was of a driver messing with the ticketer, which usually isn't something I care about. However, I could see that he had his full concentration on the ticketer and wasn't really paying much attention to the road. If a car pulled out of a drive, this would've been an accident.  An hour later on another bus, the driver noticed an NX 11 at the Underhill terminus stop. This caused him to turn onto Wildtree Avenue as normal, then reverse up and turn right to go back to Wolverhampton, skipped the Underhill terminus and another stop. Then just a few minutes ago, there was a TEX 11 parked where 11s tend to park, on Wildtree Avenue just around the corner from the Underhill terminus. An NX 11 turned onto the road, and began to attempt an overtake of the TEX one. With no indication at all, the TEX driver hit the throttle and pulled out to beat NX to the terminus stop, causing the NX driver to blast the horn. I knew Travel Express/Lets Go were bad, I'd saw and heard it a few times, but are they really THIS bad this often or did I catch them on a bad day?

Im pretty sure theyre trying to keep ahead of the NX bus at whatever cost which is common with independants
