Saw one going down Somerfield Road earlier.

Do hope he was out of service & not working the wrong route!

Route 2 still running on Walsall despite it suppose tobe 2e just seen a 74/75 branded on it thought it was sapphire branded

Which bus is still branded for 74/75?

Bob

I know at least two of the stafford pulsars have had the branding removed ( surely they're ripe for repaint now after seven years as are the route 1 commanders)

The other three should as well surely?

Well cannock looks a mess today. Youve got a route 2 branded cadet on 31 route 1 commander on 70 stafford branded 3728 on pye greens and a very poorly sounding 3731 on  the 68. It does look a bit naff surely they could have removed the branding over the weekend or made use of the volvos etc til it was done. Saw one of the ewu volvos with not in service in cannock earlier so not left yet

It doesn't help that an engineer has driven one of the new Streetlites into another one.
One has a bent rear end and no rear window, another had a side panel & window missing, so not all the 1 & 2 is Sapphire today

You couldn't make it up could you.

Driver has accident in garage = instant suspension leading to final written and / or sack...

Fitter does the same thing = has anyone got a nice piece of carpet and a broom please?

Always been the way.

Bob

Oooops....the fitters obviously have as much driving skills as they do maintenance skills :-)

3301 officiated on the first sapphire on the no 2 off Cannock at 0615

me & three other people (including the driver) were there to see history in the making LOL

they've really damaged 2 in the the garage.......  :'(


Bob

Anyone else noticed the destination displays on the streetlites?  White on black at the front but orange on the side and rear? It does look odd

arrivadays

Is it only white on black for when they do the Sapphire routes, varying for the routes (like the Shrewsbury P&R Versas)?

Also, how likely is it that the StreetLites are going to be the first buses that very RARELY stray off their route?
This is a personal appeal... For Pete's Sake just save the #!@?$&% Scania's - don't let them follow the Dennis Falcons!

Bob

They were all orange side & back yesterday on sapphire routes

Ck

Just seen a 31 Cannock heading down belt road from pye green road very strange

The first two damaged were 3301 & 3309

Apparently another 'engineer' has just taken a side panel & window out of a third one
