Twice this week I've used the 35A service. The buses used seemed to be OK. Nice & comfy.  Polite & friendly drivers.

Quote from: Wumpty on April 04, 2024, 11:05:01 AMThere are high rates of unemployment around other areas of Walsall, Wolverhampton, Cannock and Staffordshire so unsure why there's an inference that being on dole money means you'll be attacking buses.

Any bus route is susceptible to antisocial behaviour - some of Chaserider's other routes operate around areas where unemployment is prevalent, without any instances of ASB.

I am pleased that they have had only very isolated instances of bus damage which should see finances directed to other areas requiring attention.
Yet weve got loads of vacancies so why are people allowed to live off the taxpayer for years lol

Good question, though beyond this thread/forum.

Quote from: Grinder on April 04, 2024, 10:56:22 AMAnybody any idea what's happened to bus 2 YX65 RWL, appears to be a long term casualty not been out for a month ?
I believe it needs a lot of work doing to it, both bus 1 and bus 2 have had a few issues recently, if I remember correctly one of them kept going into limp mode, and losing all of its power. They are one of the oldest enviro 200 MMCs though.

As the closure is from 7:30pm, I would assume that any other daytime-only services are not affected.

Apparently Chaserider have 2 new buses, 328 being a optare solo SR in the new Centrebus orange and blue livery which is apparently on the 60. The second one is 998 which is a scania K230UB Wright Solar but on the DVSA website the vehicle is showing as SORN. Anyone know what these are and if they are true please.

the solo is ex centrebus north YJ13 HJN
the solar is ex cardiff bus CN58 FFX
the solar is true, saw a photo of it on the facebook group, it does take a while for the website to update sorn status and such.
