Walsall Council?
Whats a stupid green thing?

The War Memorial, not something you demolish lightly

Stuharris 6360

Am still under the opinion that if a company wants to operate a route (eg: Thandi on the 311), then they should operate all journeys on that route, picking and choosing of what journeys and times they run shouldn't be allowed.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Yeah Walsall Council should remove that green area, roundabout thingy. turn it into Bus stands, you know Bradford Place, the middle bit the green.

Oh, I did not know, what was on that Green, never really looked, just assumed it was a green to make up one large roundabout thingy.

What do you expect at Bradford Place? It's to tight and buses are just dumped wherever there's space. It's the overcrowded 4 stand to blame and the Darlaston's. I don't blame them for reversing out, there's never enough room for them to pull out when a Darlaston bus is parked at a sharp angle.

So out of the 4 points I've made, you could only argue one of them, and even then your argument  is practically invalid simply because reversing without a banksman is extremely frowned upon and at NX isn't even allowed.

Do they have a banksman at Dudley Bus Station? On my travels yesterday I saw buses parked up on that bit of land and saw a few B7RLEs reversing to park. I couldn't see if there was a banksman.

Of which is exactly the same situation with NX and Diamond, most of the time they reverse without a banksman on Cupfields Ave in Tipton. Just see the videos, it's all there. It's not just Thandi! I've ridden NX buses that have had to be reversed without a banksman. Majority were at Bradford Place.

That's where the buses park to layover.

And at West Bromwich bus station due to the incompetence of the designer of the stands

Wednesbury too at times. The 11/13 stand usually. Stourbridge is an example of a great bus station, where buses don't have to reverse off stands.

It isn't needed on the patch.

You just don't seem to understand. God help you if you ever became anything more than a passenger.

I do know what a banksman is needed for thank you. Anyway not a long ago a kid on Cupfields Ave was hit by a reversing bus and ended up in intensive care, no banksman. So you can't really just blame Thandi, when NX and Diamond do the exact same, sometimes they have no choice!

When was that accident? Express & Star or Birmingham Mail don't seem to have it recorded which is extremely unusual if a child ended up in intensive care
