Why didn't you post in Tamworth or unusualworkings lol

Didn't realize you had become a moderator...

Increasing the frequency is all well and good...But sorting the reliability would have been a better place to start...

I used to use the 110 fairly frequently when the B9's were first introduced and yes, it had it's off days but generally it ran fairly well, but I've used it  few times recently and the punctuality has been shocking!

Spirit of London was rebuilt after a similar fire...

Bob it's what remains of the old frontline x73.
I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that if you relied on the service to get to work & back

Does seem to have an average load, but very loyal customer base

I remember using it in Central Connect days, you'd get a full Dart some days, then Heartlands came along and the numbers slowly dwindled...

Anyone else go to the protest?

How many more meetings with the TC can this outfit survive?

Very interesting, thanks for the response, anyone got any photos of it?

Thanks muchly

Looking at this photo on the main site, do any of you know the reason a hump/bridge was built at the Corporation Street/Bull Street junction?

They took over a two bit operator with not many good routes they had a chance in the Midlands when they took over chase and messed that up. They arent gonna make a dent in nx's largely monopoly realistically are they? If they didn't have Cannock services going regularly into the WM all theyd have that was worth having is the 110 & a couple of hourly services into wolves from Shropshire which now only require midibuses...

Still doesn't warrant your continuous derogatory drivel. 

Spotter photoed 4415 on the 110 heading towards Tamworth on Saturday evening about 17:20ish, I was sat upstairs.

The marketing department have now given me this photo of 4731 to put on the main website

The photo of the bus is genuine, but because the light gave a false impression of the colours they have been photoshopped to try and make them look as accurate as possible, although the middle red still looks a bit light to what that on the new E400MMCs and E200MMCs will look like

Liking the new livery.

Shocked at the photoshop attempt though... I could have done better in MS Paint!

What happened?

How is the competing going with Central? As when I see the central bus always tends to be more patronage on it. Also from speaking to users on the Xpre55 they appear to enjoy the service more.

Not surprising, the Xpre55 is normally on time!

I would imagine Wednesfield may get some judging by the clues given in the other thread.

Bob I would love to hear your reaction to Cannock getting more Pulsars at the expense of MPD's. I fear even you wouldn't know what to think.

But even you have to concede that Cannock's fleet is looking vastly superior to what it did this time 12 months ago? Despite your predictable slating of the Streetlites.

I'd take whatever Bob says with a pinch of salt lol

Do Wednesfield have any services that would benefit from Pulsars?

Nothing wrong with Streetlites.

Bob simply appears to have a vendetta against anything Arriva does.
