Evening all,
My grandmother who is our main shareholder and 'chief' has told me to get on here and answer questions about our business activities.
To answer the question about us being 'fake' I can assure you this is not the case. Or operator licence is under a trading brand we used in Bristol called Bristol Greyhound. That name followed after I worked for Western Greyhound in Cornwall. We received a letter from First basically asking us to change the name because they own the rights to the greyhound name. So we changed it to CityFox Bristol Limited T/A Pier Buses UK. We own a Hackney taxi business in Bristol (17 vehicles), a Hot Dog fast food business and a Driver Hire business.
The whole Claribels incident was our previous marketing chap who was dismissed for various reasons, we were not quick enough to react to taking him off administering our pages, he decided to take revenge against us and brought Claribels into disrepute.
I really am sorry for any confusion and I will (attempt) to answer any questions you may have.
Kind Regards,
Rhys Hand
All,
Any questions or enquiries about CityFox will and can be answered here.
Can't promise it'll be straight away but either myself or John will answer them.
Hope you've all enjoyed your weekend,
Rhys
Do you have a list of all the services you operate?
did you have a good and fruitful vist up to the midlands last week . believe you meet a forum
member and he spent some time with you. the john you mention is he a member of the forum as well.
Kiewii- since we withdrew our commercial X7 service, we have not operated any services since. We did look into a partial replacement for Wessex's 15 service that they withdrew and the 20 service by First and our view was to provide brand new buses with a link to new Southmead Hospital, BCC didn't want to pay and funding so I scrapped the plans.
Ced - our visit was interesting to say the least.
With out meaning to come across rude but do you have any details of your company as I can't find anything online.
Can I ask what role you had at Pier Buses as well?
Thanks Dan

Incidentally, why was the Hot Dog Deli business mentioned in the post made in the Whittle's (since moved here?) According to Facebook (Posted 7th October) is was sold due to rising costs/change in demand.

I'm still a little confused, even after reading the explanation originally posted in the Whittle'd thread, as you've confirmed above that CityFox don't currently operate a single bus service, why do CityFox still pass themselves off as a bus operator running services on their Facebook page if they wish to be taken seriously? i.e:
Ready to start a nights work.. Hasn't it been ready since the day it was acquired & still waiting?

Photo from earlier, several road closures will effect services over the weekend. Check www.travelplus.org for details Which CityFox services were affected?

Due to a number of serious incidents involving buses being vandalised and damaged, the 501 & 502 are operating on a reduced timetable. Bristol City Council are aware. Update in a hour. Which are Wessex services
What a time to be broken down in the centre!

Could you please advise the following:
1. Can't remember the various trading names as reply has now gone, could you please advise of CityFox's PSV operator license number?
2. Could you please provide a current fleet list for the CityFox bus fleet? As looking at the above FB posts, CityFox now appear to have a double decker, Omnicity, E300 & Dart DP32 in addition to the ex Diamond Darts owned, my fleetlist appears to be a bit of of date
3. Can you please advise when CityFox anticipate submitting their next returns to Companies House? As they are currently 4 months overdue.
Winston, the post about trading names and other businesses was posted in the Whittles thread.
That's funny as it was bristol greyhound Ltd trading as pier buses
How do you explain that you say it's cityfo Ltd trading as pier buses. Yet it's actually bristol greyhound ltd trading as pier buses.
I know the Delhi you refer to & it has no connection to & has never heard of cityfox.
I used to operate a group of business's around bristol weston & Burnham, so think carefully about your answer.

Aren't Bristol Greyhound/Piers Buses now something to do with Crosville Motor Services in Weston?
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/North-Somerset-firm-Pier-Buses-closes-amid-row/story-20958529-detail/story.html
http://www.bristolgreyhoundbus.co.uk/
After reading several times I can honestly say I am confused... So my questions are as follows
1) What services do you actually offer, honestly, and with which vehicles?
2) If I was to go to Bristol, how much of a presence would 'cityfox' actually have within the City?
3) And finally, without meaning to be rude, or disrespectful, is this whole Cityfox business just some elaborate project, or even the brain child of someone who wishes to go into the bus industry, whom isn't quite sure how to go about it and has alot of spare time on their hands??
I look forward to your response sir
Kind regards
Danny
Can't see anything to suggest Bristol Greyhound t/a Pier Buses are associated with Crosville Motor Services - it would seem unwise for Crosville to antagonise first by trying to help them.
;
Bristol Greyhound seem to be missing from the Nov 2013 PSV circle G-list (possibly listed in Gloucestershire) and are still live with the X7 registered on the vosa website, although traveline appears to have been informed they ceased.

It was the very similar livery that made me think they may be associated, haven't done a thorough check....
Whilst on the subject of Crosville Motor Services, they are currently in the process of taking the ex Arriva London 09 plate Gemini HEV's. 3 have been noted so far passing through Marsden's paintshop on behalf of Ensign LJ09KRG/KRK & KRN

Also your website is only accessable by loging in so I would like to know does City Fox really exsist or is it your fantacy?
I ask as your facebook page shows routes run by other companies and a few buses in all over white which you claim are yours. So be honest for once and tell us the truth while you can because one day you'll be unable to keep it up.
But if you do own some Ex Diamond/First Midland Red Darts then say so, if you've got them in a livery that is City Fox then show us and it ll be fine. But creating a whole company and saying we do this and that is not going to make people like you people will just think you a fecking Jeremy Hunt. So start telling the truth.

I would think he is studying hard trying to come up with a more believable lie.
Just so it is clear there is no connection between crosville & the now defunct pier buses

Believable & CityFoxBus aren't two things that go together very well.
Here's an idea, why not just set up a small bus company under the name CityFox Bus with some actual services and be truthful??? It's much easier and people take you seriously.....
They must be really good at using Photoshop. Of course, he has at least bought a Dart or two from Rotala, anything else was just shopped in or stolen images from Flickr.

Hopefully it won't be the King Long Direct owners - after all look what happened with one of their associated companies last week.
I went to Bristol and caught a CityFox bus.

But is Mike really Mike? Tracey & Dennis the taxi drivers remind me so much of two drivers that used to drive on the NX Network with Yourbus, but it can't possibly be them because they had different names and lived several hundred miles away.

But haven't you heard the rumors though Winston. Johnson have bought the coach side of whittles & since cityfox obviously owns Johnsons then Rhys has bought them.

But you actually see Johnsons fleet out on the road and their bus fleet operates services, that doesn't fit in with the current characteristics of the CityFox Bus fleet. Isn't that a bit of a step out in to the unknown......

he will be after green bus next or every other bus & taxi & burger companies in the land maybe as well he might expand in to the EU
It is out of the norm buy Rhys needs some of his buses to be seen as he is running a little short now as he is in serious negotiations to by the Crimea off Russia.
Putin had offered to give it him free if he could show a registered timetable for Cityfox, but Rhys said he preferred not to divulge such information on national security grounds.

What is this guy smoking!!!!! Totally delusional.
I don't have a Facebook, so can someone please report CityFox Kidderminster to Facebook on the grounds of it being bullshit?

Oh, a good comment for that bio-bus cityfox..
"This bus runs on 100% pure shite, as does CityFox runs on 100% pure bullshite."
Will Mr. Hands never learn?

(sorry...had to be done!)
Rhys
How about coming on and giving us a updated on whats happing
with city's foxs bus side . as I was around the Bristol area and never
saw a city fox vehicle bus, taxi, or van , may have been in the wrong
place.
I've reported the page/place to Facebook, with the reason 'Spam/scam'. Doubt they will do anything about it though.
I've been sent this picture of the superbly appointed top floor office at 49 Hanham Rd, the first of a new batch of 1 billion buses for Kidderminster fleet replacement is parked outside....
just seen a cityf sorry...it was 633 Flying Pig Squadron...
Hahahahaha! This company is such a joke!
Give up the ghost, Rhys, and actually find yourself a proper job.
I'm tempted to foster a takeover bid...how much shall I offer?

-£5.
So to clarify, you'll take ownership if Rhys gives you his pocket money.
Their new fleet...

Why don't they wait for the unlikely event of Cityfox buying something & running a bus before announcing it to the world???
No doubt it was Cityfox that pulled out of the deal at the last minute.... PMSL

Oh back to the obnoxious self when he is found out. I have had all sorts of threats off him before
Um... How can ShittyFox, a company which doesn't exist, buy a legit bus company? Sorry if I'm missing something here..
If you walked into a bus company showroom you would use CityFox - it's lovely, it's elegant, it's beautiful. It is quite simply the best. And Britain should have the best. In the world of the bus operators it is the Saville Row suit, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Château Lafitte 1945. It is the bus service Harrods would sell you.

Tom Brant (friends with Thanh Nguyen) commented on your post. Tom BrantNovember 24 at 1:20pm Cityfox, Unfortunately, although your reply to the honourable gentleman was clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such as to cause epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.

Cityfox. The gift that keeps giving :-)
Best thread I've come across on Facebook in a long time. Couldn't resist jumping in myself, hope you don't mind!
Other things I could have chimed in with:
-it's very bad business practice (and quite possiblly illegal?) "to provide information with regards to the possible take over" before the takeover has taken place. Great way to jeopardise your 'possible takeover' before the deal has been finalised.
-pages on Facebook are free to set up, and if he's paying for them, then he's being robbed. I'm also sure there's something in the Facebook TOCs that you can't buy/sell pages, though I'm aware that a lot of 'scam pages' (ie 100 PS4s to giveaway if you 'like and share') do change hands for the purpose of 'like-farming'.
My boss thought I was drunk the hysterics I was reduced to arguing on facebook with them. It's certainly made my day go quicker!!
Even my bullshit detector has broken!!
CityFox - Even the fruitcake ward doesn't want us!

Just been having an interesting conversation on Facebook Rhys has apparently caused lots of problems for western greyhound & after the fire started on another Cornwall operator owned by a friend of mine. He tells of how after this guy showed up suddenly the companies timetables were redesign & fictitious ones suddenly
started appearing.
The advice given is to keep a watch on who he is stalking & warn them off him quickly

The photos of me have now been removed, I think Dave needs to make a complaint now as well
I've reported both photos to Facebook, will have to wait and see whether anything happens.
It's quite ironic that he thinks bus spotters are 'sad', when he's clearly living in a bus-related fantasy land. I don't know of any bus spotters who pretend they own a bus company.
I had a notification last night that a 'Rhys George' had 'liked' my WMBU Facebook page. I will take great pleasure in banning him if he posts anything inappropriate there. Has he been banned here yet?
Rhys Hands & Rhys George are the same person just block him now save time & cover yourself from anything he might want to do
Time to start commenting on his bristol cityfox page.
See how long before he takes that one down & changes the name.

That pic of me on a Chiltern unit? Oh that's ok, I made the original complete with text (Before anyone asks, I'd posted one of those "Click 'like' if you think David Cameron's a whatever" style pics on my fb page & someone asked how would I like it - hence the pic & text). As for being called a w*nker? - water off a duck's back, I've called myself far worse on many an occasion!
I don't particularly want to see his page banned. After all, whilst he's messing about with that then he's not playing with matches. My only concern is that there are some out there that could be deluded into thinking that it is a bona fide reputable business.
Well after his rant on the kidderminster page. I doubt anyone would believe that was a real business
Anyone see the latest upload to their page?

Oh wow, just caught up with all of this...
So funny... I just... Wow...
I like this forum... It goes months of tranquility and then bam! 5 pages of Lolz in a night!
He's got buses! It's true and everything he says so on the internets!
I was tempted to set up a parody page...
...but CityFox got there first!
Hmm

A new 'fantasy' 2nd bus operation or is a real one this time?
This one is still no more than a just a website

I'm particularly looking forward to the release of CityFox Group Prospectus:

The Taxi business seems leggit, but the bus operations are still fantasy. They have supposedly acquired an 08 plate ex Wheelers allover orange MAN/Wright Merdian
Cityfox, if you can find our buses, you can probably find the cause of my idiocy... :D

Laughing faces
I have heard that (god's honest truth) Cityfox is genuinely starting a service 334A Bristol Circular... The start date is the 40th of Julembary 7911
;D
(10am) The bus should be here in ten minutes... Cityfox are said to be 'very punctual'
(5pm) It should be here at 10 past 10
(8pm) I don't think this bus actually runs... Attention seeking timetable y reckon?
City Fox has a new director.
These blogs tell the story so far

Messrs Hand & Stockley have finally got themselves a real company, They purchased 3 vehicle Snowdonia Travel off Stephen Morris on Thursday.

Hi everyone
We're sorry to say that TheOne is operating a limited service.
Some of our buses belong to a leasing company, and without any warning their staff have turned up this morning and driven the buses to Newport Bus.
We're not sure exactly the story behind it, but we believe the leasing company were worried because of Newport Bus's precarious financial position (after several years of six figure losses). They've therefore colluded to take the small operator off the road to protect their bigger customer.
To make things worse, they've stolen our operator licence discs and ticket machines to stop us getting back on the road quickly.
We're talking to the police and relevant authorities and we'll keep you updated but in the meantime we're very sorry for the inconvenience
Still a quality operation:
'Dawson Rentals have today taken possession of three of the Volvo B7RLE's that Cityfox were operating in Newport'

He is still listed as sole director of CityFox. Mr Stockley has resigned. I presume CityFox will now be dissolved and liquidated as that is the instruction to any company where the sole director is declared bankrupt

I doubt there's much to liquidate, most stuff was rented (can't even call it rented, as most people pay to rent goods.....)
Have a butchers here - Railway Forums like to keep tabs on Rhys's movements....

Hopefully know one will touch him with a bargepole with any future business interests.
Looks as though the saga is drawing to a close with a proposal to strike Snowdonia Travel off the companies register.

You've got more chance of plaiting fog!
Author of the article in September Buses on end of Transpora seems to have come to the same conclusion with nowhere near the detail on Rhys Hand there is on Phillip Higgs.
Banned from holding an operator's licence for 5 years.
https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/director-bus-firm-banned-after-9503441
Some weird stuff was being posted on Transpora's Facebook pages last night, unknown if it was hacked or just someone rogue. But they posted stuff such as the list of buses with missing inspections or defects and I believe Phil Higgs' number. The posts have since been deleted however.
