Quote from: Bus Spotter Stephen on June 13, 2022, 02:33:15 PMSo apparently 18 Denis Dart FJ55 BVT is having its engine replaced and coming back out plus 555 Denis dart is being resprayed into chaserider livery. Now I know from what I can see is 17 is taxed (FJ55 BWG & 8 FJ54 OTT) are still in the depot so we could potentially see them return back into service
Where did you hear this from?

Quote from: Bob on June 13, 2022, 08:14:29 PMBreakdowns galore today. The last 70 ftom Cannock didnt run at all, leaving people stranded.. no replacement. Pretty bad for an hourly service
Did Huntington then want dead back to garage, left me and a few others stranded

I admire their honesty and levels of communication, though this is unbelievable. One would hope that D&G have considered loaning labour, or dare I say it, PCV-trained management out driving to cover services.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

andyr

i admire there honesty and admitting they have a problem. Although both annoying and frustrating for passengers at least they are aware.

They've had office staff out driving

I do admire them telling us about services not running now. Hopefully they become more frequent with it as well ESPECIALLY if breakdowns happen and they can't serve that  particular timed bus route

Well, at the time of posting,  nothing has appeared on Facebook,  so hopefully things should be back to normal or whatever 'normal ' is for Chaserider on Thursday!
