2nd stupid rumour of the day.

Is someone typing them in their bedroom this morning.

They must be bored 

Will all the old west midland bus red liveries be got rid of for grey ?

probably pennsnett staff bus

No 
I know why 😂😁

Does it require a shelter for Unload Only? Waste of money a Pole Stop would have made sense. To have an empty unused shelter sitting there when there's about 3/4 in the surrounding area overflowing makes no sense.

Have you actually been down there watching buses or just moaning from looking at a piece of paper 
Only it's day three of operation and I've not heard of any problems yet  just you on here 

I guess the answer is yes, because you can probably guess what would have happened...

...you'd have had loads of people turning up trying to get into a closed bus station, and you'd have ended up with some cretins breaking in and 'trespassing' on what is now private property.

Take wolves open day a ex member of this forum was throwed off site for starting bus engines up 

Veg web been updated for Dudley tower street stops 

I guess it was down to TfWM etc, but it still seems a pity to make it 'exclusive' to the extent of the apparent secrecy in advance.

So whinge at tfwm and the contractors tgen 

Lik

Wasn't the Bishop available for this after all? 😀

Love the pictures in the newspaper and plenty of veg got in them @karl724223!!

Nice to see a D9 in the pics 👍

It's worth reflecting that many of the people involved with the museums and preserved buses here would have been referred to as 'veg' in yesteryear or its equivalent of the time, in the way some people are now - in my view it's a pity it was felt necessary to keep this event private - let's hope we don't get any repetition of 'private' heritage events - operating in private as well as public areas - I think the heritage movement need all the help they can get rather than operating as some sort of exclusive elite!!

Like I said organised by tfwm  with contractors having a big say on who was on there land/building site 
Doubt museums will hold private events as they need the money to survive and pay for costly restorations and keep buses on the road in good condition
Oh and yes my son is a driver at pn

The new Dudley stops are a joke, perfect TfWM planning. Too many services serving 1 stop, pavements nowhere wide enough. Loads of confused and frustrated people, hardly any inspectors as per. Whos bright idea was it to shove all the Wolverhampton bound services together and also the 74/87?

Shambles and it's only the first day...

Ok where would you put everything then

Before veg start moaning they couldn't go it was a private event organised by tfwm with the contractors who are now in charge of the land/building site 

Shaplifters have complained about where the new stops are they are complaining they have further to run to get the buses to get away 

RSPCA been up Dudley concerned about where the rots are going to live after being evicted 

Well that's me last service bus out of Dudley after nearly 34 years 

Last day tomorrow 
Just a reminder 

So if we don't need to know why put it on a PUBLIC forum, no need to be sarcy asked a simple question, I was just curious are you requesting to get 2102 on Sunday or somthing.

You asked a simple question 
I gave you a simple answer 
You don't need to know 

What's this about?

Need to know basis 
And you don't need to know 👍
