Quote from: cardew on November 14, 2024, 08:33:58 AMThat "tram bus" looks completely impractical to me as well, I hope TfWM don't consider a bendy version for Sprint.Looks a good bus and can be charged at terminals so less need to charge in garage.

Some of the new changes are listed here if anyone is interested
Quote from: Jay71 on October 28, 2024, 12:43:51 PMThe fares cap is going to be increased from £2 to £3. This will be announced at the next budget.Nx have already said there fairs for 2025 will be better £2.90
Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on October 28, 2024, 12:48:22 PMMy Dad once figured out that a single was half the price of the daysaver this won't happen but I could see some operators doing this that rather increase to £3 they might just rise it to £2.50 if a Daysaver is £5£2.90 is cheaper
Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on October 23, 2024, 10:24:38 AMMayor apparently seems to think there isn't any Night buses in the West Midlands hmm NX running to 11PM Midnight or even 2/3AM isn't a night Bus then forgetting the 24hr X1, 97, he says he wants to introduce them. If this for areas like Cannock, Shropshire or even some of the smaller areas outside of the major towns and cities, I don't think they are going to work because they are not economically viable no point running a bus with just the driver if the company can't pay the driver's or the Diesel. Most NX Services finish at 11/Midnight and usually have 1 to 2 people on on a Weekday. Have seen the last 37 terminate at Darlaston before and about 5 to 6 people got off maybe more. The 34 passing it had about 2 people on and the 79 that came in had about 4 people on with 2 getting of at Darlaston. Unless I have understood this wrong we have Night services maybe not London level but when I tell people in the sticks our last bus is at Midnight or Quarter past 11 they get jealous as there Last Bus is at 5 or 6PMI believe the 74 went 24hrs at one point in it's recent history.

Quote from: MetroT69 on June 28, 2016, 02:28:21 PMCentro has a report saying tram 17 was delivered October 2013.
17 was Delivered back in December 2013 i remember being there in the rain has passed into the depot all wrapped up in white sheeting.
It was not until early 2014 that it made a few test runs on the mainline (only very few in day light hours) with the arrival of a few more urbos 3s 17 was confined to the depot has a static test bed
but did make a few more mainline runs again during daylight hours in the summer of 2014
you had to be out on the right day to see it , this gain was just for a few days testing only ( I have photos some were )
Monday June 6th 2016 was 17s first run into Grand central and has since then been running on its fault free mileage accumulation testing Monday /Friday .
Over the weekend 17 was parked in front of T69 16 , Today it was out running again back in the depot at 13.10
Quote from: Gareth on June 28, 2016, 02:28:28 PMwhat is endurance testing? has tram 17 been fitted with the batteries
17 is out on test again today. Notices on the windows mentioning 'endurance testing'.
