Carolean Coaches, Willenhall

[Westy]

For those of us who remember details of the tender before it got yanked, wasnt the vehicles supposed to have extra things like more cameras, special film on the glass etc?

They have done this havent they?

Special Film isn't that what NX have on some of there Veichles some of it looks like it is coming off. And I assume they do have Cameras. We don't know what happened but it hasn't put Carolean off they are still operating the 19.

Looks like yesterday 07/07/2024 one of their buses broke down on the 19 and they never replaced it so all day it was a 1 bus running as I'm sure bus 4 AS09 PAN broke down and nothing came out to replace it, will they receive a fine or contract warning for that.

Id the bus did break down and wasn't replaced (therefore,services didn't operate), they won't be payed by TFWM as they didn't operate the service and will receive a small fine

ASO9PAN was back out on the 19 today

wonder why they never replaced the bus as they have a spare bus

Maybe no spare driver?

Take the driver off the bus that broke down?

Take the driver off the bus that broke down?

It's not that simple, if the bus broke down and couldn't be moved there could of been no one in the yard to bring a replacement bus out. If the bus developed an issue but was able to drive back to the yard it could be a case that the bus wasn't actually defective and the driver needed to finish early and no spare was available.

As you may have seen in the Nx diversions thread, there is an incident in the Well Lane area of Blakenall/Harden.

Service 19's last few journeys today were on diversion, and are currently scheduled to continue on diversion tomorrow.

Looking at Bustimes, shows you scale of diversion on the affected journeys not seen for a few months!

I know AEE is VOR due to all windows on the drivers side being smashed, meaning they should of still had 2 spare if they never had any issues also, however as been stated for a small company like that it's probably not as easy as get a new bus out

When was it smashed ?

When was it smashed ?

I'm not too sure I'm trying to find out too, someone said it happened on the 19 route the first day they got ticket machines but I'm not sure. 

[Westy]

Only one bus tracking on the 19.

Is that correct?
