I've been to Rugeley, but is there anything of note on the rest of the 'new' route north of Rugeley?

There isnt much of note in Rugeley lol. Uttoxeters an ok ish town though. Not that big

3 buses. Timetable is just over 1 hour 20 each way off peak.

Be interesting to see what theg put on there. The 63s regular performer, 182, hasnt been out for 2 weeks lol

63 will be a 3 bus working maybe? Or 2 bus

Just thought I'd nip in here and say I've emailed Chaserider previously, they don't answer. BusUsers are a waste of time. Staffordshire Council staff couldn't sort a kids party at a soft play, let alone hold operators accountable. Heck, they keep giving money to Bennets who aren't even compliant with the law (failing to upload bus open data), there is no hope for Staffordshire council to do absolutely anything!

Irrespective of what the user said, the remedies mentioned are absolutely pointless. You'd get better results spamming the DVSA with complaints (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/report-a-lorry-bus-or-coach-driver-or-company)

Yep, Chaserider dont respond , 100 perc

Can you provide any documented proof of all these issues and breakdowns though?

I live on the 70 route and have experienced plenty of 2hr gaps. People who live on the 826 828 route have also documented plenty.. its a regular feature. A lot of the fleets pretty clapped out tbf. And yep other operators have breakdowns but on lower frequency routes like Chaseriders its way way more of an issue 

I know you were sitting watching bus times. I wouldn't of got my information off that as bustimes was having major issues yesterday

So were the vehicles

Jeez the 74/826/828 suffered a few breakdowns and reiliability issues today. Be bad if you rely on it etc

lol all the 3 latest newer e200 in-take is wasted over on the 841 lanes to get all bashed and scraped up. 

I dont know why they dont put em on 35A/36 & utilise the B8s on 74/826/828 instead of having almost  daily multiple failures

Shame the 70s gone crap again with old Solos. Itd been better lately. They shoved 148 on it last sat, smallest bus theyve got and woefully inadequate. Was rammed when i caught it

The lovely Pye Green circular will have later running times from Monday the 3rd June. Last 25 leaving at 21:45 and back in for 22:12 and the last 26 which will leave at 22:12 and finish at 22:42

Brave goung through chadsmoor that time of night aha

I remember when Wmpte Walsall used to have buses every few minutes & every bus left the terminus full

Obviously nowhere near as many people go now then i'd say. WMPTE used to run a bus to St Matthews Hospital, a mental home not far fron Swan Island, and for some readon alwaus called it Burntwood Hospital on destination blinds

Is Walsall garage having the next stop announcements updated for X51?

Isn't that what happened pre 26 October 1986?                                                         

Yep 👍👍

Because as @Tony has said a fair few times now outside Nbus area you can't buy it and Cannock isn't within the Nbus zone now it may of been before but it isn't now meaning it's the daysaver Extra which is issues in this area.

Is it usable only on NX buses? 

What's with all this about?

NXWM accept Nbus on all their services as has been said on here several time. It not up to driver

I used to be able to buy an Nbus onX51 in Cannock at least a few months ago but if you ask for one nowits the daysave extra that comes out the ticket machine
