Quote from: Bob on May 03, 2024, 10:16:04 AM167 has been on there Tues and Thurs, surely thats breaching the tender conditionsI believe its okay to use a non-compliant bus but they have to pay a fine. It very much depends upon the terms of the contract.
Quote from: LiamsTransport1 on April 19, 2024, 12:54:33 PMAny ideas if I could use Swift go onboard between Rednal Hares and Hound & Longbridge Lane (near Groveley Lane) onboard 182/183?As both points are within the Nbus area and you are not passing out of the Nbus area, you should be fine.

Quote from: Westy on April 06, 2024, 03:38:32 PMMust admit I had a ride over to Coventry Wednesday just gone, so it was an early start, but I had to put the bins out anyway!I don't think the 159 served Parkhill and the old 900 certainly didn't serve Parkhill at all originally either. It was I think the changes to local services in that part of Coventry which led to the 900 serving Parkhill.
Pleasant ride, but is there no other way of serving that bit past Meriden, where you come off the A45, where you have to double back on yourself?
It's been sometime since I caught a bus to Coventry, as most recent trips pre Covid were by train.
Think the last time by bus was in the 159 days, but did the 159 do the 'double back' as well?
Quote from: Dababa015 on April 06, 2024, 04:28:10 PMThis might be the wrong place to say this but at roughly 16.25 on severene road 4A the driver of 6704 would not move because a passenger was carrying a TV, is this allowed on a bus or is the driver overreacting? He was holding 7540 up which was already 20 mins late and we couldn't go around due to a parked car.According to NX Conditions of Carriage (downloadable from the NX website), the driver is within their rights to refuse to carry any luggage or goods. In addition any item weighing over 22kg is prohibited. Therefore annoying as it might seem the driver was following the correct procedure in my opinion.
