Chaserider

[Tony]

The B8 Seats 45 the E200 Seats between 33 and 39

Standing capacity on the B8 is much more as well

[Bob]

Jeez the 74/826/828 suffered a few breakdowns and reiliability issues today. Be bad if you rely on it etc

Yeah I heard an NX Driver say once that a B7 Urban 2 has capacity for nearly a 100 people.

First's GB Kites in Leicester can have up to 57 standing with 33 seated 😮

If you are basing that on Bus Times the past couple of days there has been lots of gaps in tracking across different operators. Maybe a technical issue with tracking rather than breakdowns?

Any service going into Stafford has got 359 sets of roadworks to deal with if you saw it on Midlands Today.

I've seen it on YouTube to with the guy in the van they were with Channel he had to rescue someone from the roadworks on the island near to Stafford Jaguar I think

So were the vehicles

[Stu]

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Whatever

Can you provide any documented proof of all these issues and breakdowns though?

I live on the 70 route and have experienced plenty of 2hr gaps. People who live on the 826 828 route have also documented plenty.. its a regular feature. A lot of the fleets pretty clapped out tbf. And yep other operators have breakdowns but on lower frequency routes like Chaseriders its way way more of an issue

What service or bus are we on about, I might have some info.

There's a few vocal people here constantly moaning about Chaserider - also the same people who complained about Arriva when they ran this operation - but I doubt any of them have ever taken any positive action themselves by making formal complaints to Staffordshire Council via their councillors, let alone made any complaint to the operator or indeed even followed up any complaint with Bus Users UK.

Just thought I'd nip in here and say I've emailed Chaserider previously, they don't answer. BusUsers are a waste of time. Staffordshire Council staff couldn't sort a kids party at a soft play, let alone hold operators accountable. Heck, they keep giving money to Bennets who aren't even compliant with the law (failing to upload bus open data), there is no hope for Staffordshire council to do absolutely anything!

Irrespective of what the user said, the remedies mentioned are absolutely pointless. You'd get better results spamming the DVSA with complaints (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/report-a-lorry-bus-or-coach-driver-or-company)

I managed to get one reply off chaserider in 8 months - they just blamed the council lol - On a positive note 194 turned up on time to stafford today and seemed to be running/sounding alot better than last time i was on it :-) and one of the new evoras on the last 826 back which is a lovely near rattle free bus to travel on
