Just to inform everyone Tfwm have now announced vaccination appointment pre 0930 travel for concessionary pass holders on all buses & trams in the west Midlands

Theres no smoke without fire & I have heard similar rumours from several "independent" sources.

Thank you

Tfwm will help us get the word out, also we already carry some of the vaccination staff to some of the centres who will also communicate that they can get vaccine free travel pre 0930 with us.
Maybe your bosses could also assist with getting the information out via their social media channels.

This just feels the morally right thing for us to do.

If you see or witness it on any operators services my advice would be to inform the operator directly so they can investigate and deal with it.

As from Monday Claribels will be offering free travel before 0930 to all concessionary pass holders who show a covid 19 vaccination appointment just show your pass & your vaccination appointment confirmation. Those who receive their appointment via telephone can ask at the time for a text or email confirmation to enable them to board the bus.

It's been on.there for a while, cant recall seeing the mmc for a while now

If you look at the timetable it's a clear 2 bus pvr that's probably why they chose cheslyn hay

We are in lockdown 3 you know

@Tony I wont divulge my source but as I posted it is very very reliable or I wouldn't have posted.

Maybe others dont have the guts to defend d& g but I have they have a good history on fleet upgrades & providing a reliable service look at the all JP associated businesses & they're all flourishing even in these troubled times

From my very reliable source the buses that arriva left to d&g were in a bad way, some of them bordering on dangerous. D&g in my personal opinion have taken the right approach by immediately removing those buses from service until they are  fit & safe for public service.

Once had a driver refuse to take a bus because of a light on the dashboard, turned out to be the ignition light lol.

True story

The light at the end of the lockdown tunnel just got brighter as one of our drivers has an appointment for his first coronavirus vaccination tomorrow.

The difference this time is CBSSG is now in place to fund bus services whereas it wasn't initially during the first lockdown. In fact CBSSG was put in place to ensure service levels was increased. Therefore unless dft guidance changes its unlikely we will see the service reductions that we saw in March.
