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

because that would make perfect sense - the reliability is truly shocking on 826 828 route its just not worth chancing if its going to run any more - there transport manager at cannock needs to lose his repute as obs cannot run a  reliable bus service for toffee! just the same thing day after day its a joke - no action being put in place to kerb the re-occuring issues at all.

Just heard on Midlands today that Virgin Trains might possibly return they have applied to run services between Brum and London in competition with Avanti. If this happens I assume it will be under an open track agreement

I've been using mobile ticketing since September now as college issued it onto my phone instead of putting it on my swift card again. However I've noticed with the sunny weather the sun reflects of the phone meaning sometimes the ticket won't scan, now some drivers are understanding with this issue and ask to see the ticket and then let you on but some keep making you try and try scanning it and are funny about it, it's a shame the QR code scanner could not be moved to avoid this issue with not scanning,

Even with the brightness all the way up?
