That 128 solo heap was on 828 earlier in the week and that crappy blue and white SR. Minibuses on interurban and big buses riding country lanes. The group sees to be investing for D & G but nowt for cannock other than more old clapped out solos being dumped :sad:

31 out of 60 buses are younger than 12 years old and they're due more brand new buses in the new year including a couple of electric buses and replacing buses for the 826,828 routes. I'd hardly say they're not investing in cannock.

Why have 6 Buslinks vehicles appeared on Chaseriders Bustimes list

mikestone

Because they had been working some journeys on the 63 ever since it was introduced - I thought it was on here I'd seen it, but can't find it now.

From what I see on BusTimes edits:

QuoteEvery Bus Link vehicle has a second machine used on the 63 due to Chaserider differing ticket machine system. Only solution to constant edits is to place them on this list.

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
