Before it gets posted elsewhere 506 (YX13 EJC) became a victim to vandalism on the 19 this evening a window was smashed in Harden on the 17:05 journey ex Bloxwich. Chaserider have only been operating the route since Sunday it hasn't taken long for something to happen, well if vandalism is a regular occurrence then I can't see them keeping the route

Wonder if it's the same little buggers from Slacky Lane on Saturday?

I agree and people will suffer IF Chaserider do in the long run choose to pull off the route if the vandalism continues and I wouldn't blame them if they do, the 19 should of gone to Diamond they've already operated it 3 or 4 (maybe more than that) times before so it wouldn't harm them operating it again and as said if Chaserider pull off they might well end up back on it under an emergency tender

It seems since 2010, most of the recognised bus companies in that area, have had at least one stint on the route!

I don't think you understand how contract tenders work.

And it would have 'harmed them' if it had been one of their vehicles that was vandalised.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

I don't believe the route and or duties are programmed into the ticket machines yet (I could be wrong) equally it could be a glitch with bus times; I'm not sure which one is correct, I am aware that yesterday they were running the route but tracking as rail replacement and I am led to believe that because the duties haven't/hadn't been programmed into the machine the driver was told he couldn't take any fares; I think they are a few teething problems at the moment

Looks like Chaserider will have another new livery in the style of the new Centrebus livery but with a red front and yellow stripe. No clue if it's branding which is a high possibility or what it'll be for

guess it wont be for the 74/826/828 circuit only seems the oldest knacker allocation route, plenty of missing buses on the 826 again this week already.... This new livery looks rather nice better than the plain red i think start of a new image :-)

Not sure. Rumors are either 36 or 19 as they both have blue on the printed timetables for the buses
