Strike Action

[Mike K]

There were suggestions at the weekend that it might potentially be possible to put out more buses than the minimum core hospitals service that was published. 

If anything, the opposite seems to be the case.

Seems like no Perry Barr buses are out today. Seen WA 6719 and 6734 on the X4, and WB 822 and 1935 on the 28.

None seem to be tracking on bustimes.

Loans don't and recent transfers don't track

Just seen a 87 branded WB bus near Solihull town centre doing YW 6 route. Didn't catch the fleet number but I don't think it's tracking.

Edit it was 6973

see the comment above yours. No buses on a route other than their home garage will track.

Perhaps Andy Street could pop down and have a chat at the same time !

He won't be seen unless there a photo opportunity involved

He needs removing and replacing by a person who knows that there doing

I wonder how long the public support will last?

I'm yet to hear any normal member of public with much sympathy - and I have heard a lot of non bus people talking about it this week!

Certain drivers on social media are also doing themselves no favours!

Theres a diamond driver who said
 "All I can say is, if NX drivers were abused before the strike, wait until they go back to work." 
just hope its not a sign of things to come for nx drivers

Well blocking buses from leaving the garages isn't going to help that either is it...

It was announced on the radio this afternoon, that NXWM are now getting double the number of new driver applicants during the strikes too...

I'm slightly confused how depots other than the 'home' depot are operating other depots routes,  eg Walsall operating the X4 ?

Thought the drivers would stay on their own depots routes?

Is this tied up with the buses being parked up 'elsewhere '?

I wonder if the more militant members of the public, getting extremely fed up themselves with the situation, might take matters into their own matters & head off down the depots & confront the picket line themselves?

The police would have a field day if that happened!

You sister can go down 😂

[Westy]

You sister can go down 😂

Unfortunately she is away out of the area this week, so she couldn't!

You're not one of these drivers on social media previously mentioned are you?
