Any idea what buses will be out tommorow on the shuttles and how many?

I always thought it was a collection of garages just lending a spare vehicle in.
Office Staff :D Im assuming drivers aren't obliged to take up duties on these shuttle type services ?

I would Andrew, it is very interesting, what you won't see is controller sat around ignoring drivers. They can be sat chatting having a laugh between themselves at times where no driver is calling, then suddenly 3 or 4 vehicles will light up on the screen, or even worse, one emergency call will come in like on Saturday when an Inspector had his arm slashed with a Stanley Knife in Birmingham City Centre, not even a revenue inspector, or even in an argument. Obviously while the controller was getting police, ambulance, other inspectors to the scene then notifying management of a sserious incident drivers were 'being ignored'.

I have sympathy for your comments, Andrew, but not for Dom who is just having a pop at people doing a job without knowing anything from either end.
As someone who has been in AVL I will back them up though.
There can be 15 people sat at those desks, but once a person takes one call, then they have to follow that up before they can take the next call.
If you radio through to say you have broken down for instance then they have to get all the details from you, then pass those details onto the engineers, then log the lost mileage (a legal requirement) before they can answer the next call. If three calls come on the screen in close succession then the third will have quite a long wait, while that is happening at times of disruption another 3 calls might appear.

Find if there's any truth to this 45 extension

Little bro phoned NX customer services today, because the 45 had been shown on real time and scheduled times on the app, along Lickey Road in Rednal. They put him through to BC, who told him the 45 would be extended to Rednal Island from this weekend. Eh?

@2206 it was registered during the Solihull Travel closure saga I believe. It ran for a couple of days then came off with Johnsons replacing them. At the time, rumours stated that Thandi brought Solihull Travel, but those got quickly rebuked.
The FORT contract was won from AMPM by Thandi I believe. Ironically AMPM had won the contract from The Green Bus!

Does anyone know what the route change is to the X64 from 29.05.16 in Woodgate?
