I wonder why they are taking on more work but can't cover the work they are already operating due to driver shortages (according to their Twitter feed)

That's only the same as NX are doing, taking on new work while original core routes are suffering due to staff shortages

Bus driver told me the reason for the changes in timetables was it's a secret code to our alien overlords telling them when to attack 

Hello Simon,

I have just boarded the X20 at Hampton in Arden station to go to Coventry with a Daytripper issued at the station. Driver of 40844 has flatly refused the ticket saying because it doesn't have 'n' at the start it's not valid. I've used rail issued Daytrippers on many occasions on Diamond Bus and this is the first time it has been refused. I had to pay the £2.40 single to Coventry which I was not happy about but he was having absolutely none of it

Not sure there is much that can be done but I think the drivers need to be aware that rail issued Daytrippers are valid etc.

Thanks, Rowley

I will investigate & speak to the driver concerned 

This is being looked at.

Flags in Solihull town Centre also been updated with 82 to Coventry...

These should not have been changed & should remain as X20. Tfwm are aware & in the process of rectifying 

"Managed decline" "trying to kill routes" why on earth would a commercial business do this, it wouldn't make any business sense at all. End of the day the management know their buses & their network requirements.

Not sure however, Christopher Watson director of Meadway was appointed Director of Hollywood travel in February of this year 

94 doesn't normally get a frequency reduction during school holidays 

Streetdeck 40751 in Bolton has also been painted into a similar livery.

20869 and 30406 , both in Bromsgrove earlier. 

30406 is on 57 destination is on & working 20869 will be rectified shortly 

This should be rectified soon

Thank you Andrew 

Do you have the fleet numbers please 

It was anywhere OUTSIDE the outer circle

I wonder if he has a fleet number ROFL
