The 'Exclusive' warning button! @John

Oh yes! Might ask to see if we can have one of those too  ;D

can you press a button to alert the police  with out the smoker knowing just hope they turn up before he gets of

There is a button on the INIT. Doesn't alert police

bus drivers don't say anything anymore got on the X70 a few days ago two lads smoking upstairs whole bus stunk of weed and bud driver knew they were smoking but continued driving

We are told not to. I'm not going to risk my safety telling people to stop

First day out for 28 I believe

4866 isn't tracking either on bus times for the NWM app. Currently on it on the 997

Related to Glasgow. Strathclyde heritage livery 32657 was destroyed by fire in one of the Glasgow garages. It also seriously damaged an Enviro400 MMC parked next to it

1829 running dead by shard end crescent this morning, anyone know what this is potential new route or variant of 58?

1829 is a Perry Barr bus

It is been used for driver training/assessments as I saw it in Birmingham. Bus Times shows it as doing a loop of Shard End and Chelmsley Wood and back to garage via the Collector Road

7506 is on the 7 this morning but not tracking the route number. 1751, 1831, 1891, 4475, 4500, 4743, 6121, 7508 also are doing this

4549 isn't tracking properly either, routes are showing but location has been stuck on Robin Hood Island for weeks. It's there now while on the 2

Some are wrongly tracking as Metroline buses this morning for some reason

4610 has started tracking on the 60 on bustimes

Update: now running dead back to BC

A few more BC tridents have appeared, 4445 on the 97 and 4616 on the 14. It also picked up a dead journey on 4446 on Garrison Lane

Wouldn't it just make sense to lock this thread until such a time as Tier 3 or lower restrictions are back in effect in the region as to reduce temptation by that small majority?

No dig at you but it will take a lot more than that to get those people to listen to the lockdown rules

I am with you on this one . With the two conditions mentioned , the vast majority of sufferers will not want to leave their own room , let alone their own house . . . . . .   >:( :(

Agree there. That is exactly how I feel atm. Making us feel ill to the point where I have to force myself to just take the dogs a walk around the block.

But others also need that time out of the house for their own mental health, and if they wish to use their exercise time in their local area taking photos I don't see a problem as long as they stick to the lockdown rules and are not riding the buses or trains. During the first lockdown I was at home for 4 and a half months so I needed to get out sometime just to stop our mental health from suffering, only once talking a camera for a photo. And even that took me nearly 2 months to do at first

I'm not on about the small number of people that are still blatently breaking the rules, some of which are on this forum, these people should be ashamed of themselves and I think will only learn the hard way

Theyve put in 18 vastly better buses and condemned around 12 of the arriva ones already so that should tell you how pior Arriva were!

You got any proof how 'poor' these buses are?

So D&G brought buses off Arriva to withdraw straight away losing them money from the off. If they were that bad they wouldn't have been included in the deal and more buses would have been sourced beforehand

D&G would not just buy assets of a business without inspecting them beforehand, or they wouldn't have been sold and a new price negotiated

I wouldn't believe everything you hear off drivers or others on this forum, especially people with such hatrid for Arriva. Considering the majority of ex Arriva buses are out today according to Bus Times, they can't be in too bad a state

2 33 branded E400s on the X4 boards today.

Our allocations have gone to pot today, a lot of Sutton boards are non Platinum and various other routes have the Platinums on
