Can you board a West midlands bound bus in Cannock, eg 1/2/2A/32/33 Walsall, 68/70 Wolverhampton, X31 Birmingham and buy an N Bus ticket with a small add on? It would be a great help if you could!!!
Arriva used to have it programmed into their machines as a Centro add on for single journies over the boundary, don't know if they still do
is that if your purchasing an n bus from Cannock?

Yes, I live in Cannock and have an nNetwork pass, Arriva used to have a special add on single/return to the county boundary. I haven't needed to use one for a couple of years, so don't know for definate if they still have. They used to sell nBus + extra tickets on the Cannock-Wolverhampton route as well for the people of Featherston

Tony going on when I last spoke to a long standing driver the nubus + extra is now stopped you can buy the bus/metro ticket in featherstone and coven/brewood for no extra cost and use it there and back any further its a sorry I am afraid as the fares were done so it costs basically as if you had no nbus ticket plus returns were dropped a while ago when i was there on the old wayfarers
Just shows what a crap system we have!
you can get an Nbus add on, ask the driver for a nbuss add on my brother got one on thursday, it costs £2.20 each way for the bit from the West Midlands boundary to Cannock plus £4.00 for the nbus.
can u do it the other way? ie get the bus in cannock and buy the add on b4 u get to west midlands

£4.40 for the add on to get to Cannock now! The add on to the nNetwork ticket on the train to Cannock is about 80p. It looks like it would be cheaper to get at Daytripper+rail add on to Cannock and get exactly the same travel in the West Midlands with the added bonus of rail!
basically that what the fare is from cannock to the boundry so how can it be an add on 80p is a lot more farer as I said there is no add on at all it was ditched ages ago and I would use the train to add

no see above post
thanks for this information
though I have a nnetwork if i use it on service 70 the arriva driver generally does not care and allows the ticket to travel full route to Cannock or Wolverhampton
Route 68 however only from essignton it is valid
Seems that nNetwork has a wider boundary than nBus but the info in the post makes me reconsider whether cheaper to get a nBus or nNetwork
Stupid crap boundary rules its pathetic! and they want people to use public transport!

Yeah sometimes its really odd as I tried to board the X31 a few yards from the boundary (since I had problem with the leg) and driver expects me to pay something over £2 to travel a few yards to the WM boundarys :S

N network and N bus have same boundry rules you can buy and add on like tony said for the n network ticket for train only here is the rules from NWM site
*Valid on standard class rail services (within the specified rail zone) and bus services in the West Midlands county and the specified areas run by operators in the Centrocard Scheme and the Metro. Time restrictions may apply to some tickets please check the Terms and Conditions of the ticket for full details
you were able to use your ticket in Essington as it was one of the specified areas just like Wombourne, Swindon and Perton its just how it is with regards to the 70 the driver is a dick and needs to do there job right

Thanks for the clarification
Though Essington isn't specified
Tickets also cover bus services to and from the following areas outside of the Network West Midlands area: Baginton, Bilbrook, Codsall, Himley, Hollywood, Gannow, Keresley, Kinver, Little Aston, Pattingham, Perton, Rubery, Swindon, Wombourne and Wythall. (this is on the nNetwork page and not on nBus) http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/web/FILES/nbus_nnetworkMap.pdf
Probably paying that extra for the nNetwork to use the areas outside the nBus area
Arriva drivers ive noticed don't ever pay attention and wish they did their job better
Why cant they include cannock? its no further out of the boundary than bloody kinver!
Must be politics I know Cannock used to have NXWM going there but the rules were the same or Nbus users but NXWM never bothered with them as always had problems on 1 due to this. There must be some agreement between Centro and the Parish/county councils for them areas nver understood why some areas just over the border you can use a Nbus pass and others its no can tony help being a revenue inspector

nBus has no exceptions at all (unless operators put them on unofficially). nNetwork is basically every where the PTE used to run except Cannock/Burntwood/Lichfield area

I don't think so! As I can only ever remember the NXWM RPIs being outside the nNetwork area once (Kenilworth) I am fairly certain that not a single £25 penalty fare has been issued for an out of area nNetwork ticket. Only NXWM RPIs issue £25 penalties so you must be referring to them!

For what? only to people who do not have valid tickets. If you have had a SFC it is certainly not because you had a valid nNetwork or nBus ticket.

NXWM seem to think a plastic version of the nNetwork is not valid but Centro deem it valid but because Centro have so many ticket types and they can only show a certain amount of ticket type picture at garages, it seems new to them hence :(

You may have been challenged on it, there are very few of them exist, I don't know why more people don't convert to them as Centro replace lost ones. I think I see about one a month and I can understand drivers challenging and asking what it is, as you say it is not on the display Centro send to operators, but you have not been issued with a Standard Fare Charge by an RPI against it. All the RPIs always ring me to check if they see a ticket they are not sure of.
In most cases this is what they do they ring a senior to confirm and normally in my favour
Don't happen so much nowadays as it's on display at most depots now (the exception is WB)

dont challange tony on ticket issues and even with data protection rules a record like he said should still be there same with police issues even if a speeding ticket has gone from your licence (4 years and removed ) it will still be on the PNC done a subject access check for myself and is on there (but no criminal convictions which my employer wanted to see) basically it has stepped down so is spent and do not have to disclose under convictions act 1974 but will be on PNC for 100 years

NXWM RPIs have always been aware it is valid. I am working at Perry Barr at the moment, no new notices about that ticket on the notice board there or at the RPI base at Miller Street . I haven't asked you your real name or any personal information, just the date this is alleged to have happened. You are posting derogatory information about either me or my colleagues saying one of us doesn't know our job. You started off saying several times, now down to just once you perhaps can understands my doubts.
I trust you know your job very well
This happened around 6-9 month ago and it was around the WB area
mmm.. I was in the depot only 2 days ago and seen the staff noticeboard with a new metro design ticket on 70' buses (since they have the standard ticket machines) and various route changes and uniform loans etc...
Back to the original question, I checked with one of my friends on London Midland today who confirmed the add on to the nNetwork Daytripper making it valid to Cannock & Hednesford on the train is now £1.10. What I forgot to ask him was if he could sell this to add on to longer valid passes. I know if you have 1week; 4week; 13week & 52 week extensions onto the relevant nNetwork tickets. I buy a 52 week one at £120 but don't know if you can buy the daily one when using a weekly or longer ticket.

Hi Tony
Thanks for asking as I did want to know as normally I would need to purchase the ticket boundary (ie Bloxwich North - Cannock)
I have a Term Extra pass which I believe the addon is not possible
I'll double check when I next see RPI at Snow Hill or JQ station
On a side note, what do you actually do? Are you just an RPI or you mix jobs (i.e. drivers can sometimes change and be inspectors and vice versa)? PB depot at first site the interior of the reception isn't the greatest I do hear that people complain about the canteen not being the best and theres like only 3/4 tables with 12/13 chairs in the main reception area and a really old looking vending machine

I buy a 52 week one at £120 but don't know if you can buy the daily one when using a weekly or longer ticket.
Hi Tony
Thanks for asking as I did want to know as normally I would need to purchase the ticket boundary (ie Bloxwich North - Cannock)
I have a Term Extra pass which I believe the addon is not possible
I'll double check when I next see RPI at Snow Hill or JQ station
On a side note, what do you actually do? Are you just an RPI or you mix jobs (i.e. drivers can sometimes change and be inspectors and vice versa)? PB depot at first site the interior of the reception isn't the greatest I do hear that people complain about the canteen not being the best and theres like only 3/4 tables with 12/13 chairs in the main reception area and a really old looking vending machine
You can definately have a full term add on to the nNetwork ticket term pass to Cannock. The Adult version for the over 18 Student pass is £34.30, I have my daughter's ticket in front of me with the price on, so the add on to the child term plus should be less than that.
I am employed as an RPI, but when other jobs in the company need cover I will regularly volunteer my services. For the next two weeks I will be covering a job based at Perry Barr garage apart from V Festival weekend when you will find me at either Stafford or Weston Park!
There is nothing wrong with PB canteen. It is one of the favourites of most of the RPI team who get a chance to use all of them.
