Quote from: Stu on September 17, 2024, 06:36:59 PMIn theory, with the adoption of nBus as the 'standard' ticket product, any operator should have a better chance of 'competing' against NX now.

However hopefully Lets Go have learned valuable lessons from their previous brush with the TC, and will make sure that drivers stick to the published timetable, rather than racing to get ahead of an NX bus.

I'd say why dont they compete on the 9 between Wolves & Bloxwich instead, but I dont know whether my sister would even consider them, even after their escapades!

TE/LG will never learn. Fact! They have always been Mickey Mouse/ cowboy company.  Most of the drivers have a don't  care attitude.  The only decent driver they had was the one who used to do the 303 route

He might be driving the 59 looking at the weird timetable it uses between 1 and maybe 3 buses

He's white driver who spends the whole journey having a conversation with himself

Today I caught the TE/LG 59 service. Caught it about 2pm Wolves bus station. I counted 35 people getting off the bus. By the time I got to the terminus twenty five people had got on the bus. Quite a few bought Nbus tickets. Went it left AP another fifteen  ppl had got on the  bus

Last week you called them a cowboy Mickey mouse company yet you went all the way to Wolverhampton to catch it and actually count how many people got on . A bit hypocritical don't you think

You should think carefully before posting complete & utter crap. I didn't make special journey to get this bus.  I didn't have time to wait for the NX service

You never mentioned that you didn't wait for the NX59 as you hadn't got enough time so in defense that member probably read it as if you had made a Special journey to get them not that the NX59 wasn't there or you didn't have time to wait for one.

Ex NX bus 2449 spotted outside the Let's go depot on a tow truck today around 2pm.

I have just seen something very bizarre on bustimes.org... all 5 of the vehicles tracking on the 11 were in Underhill, all appeared to be parked on Wildtree Avenue. It wasn't a case of ticket machines being switched off either as they all tracked within the last 10 minutes and were updated every so often. Were the drivers having a party? 😂
Local routes are the PN 7, WN 8, 25 and 242 (mainly the 8)
Also regularly use the PN 2, PN 2A and WN 82
Local rail station is Stourbridge Town, 139s 😍

Thats where the drivers normally have their dinner hour.

If you look at the timetable between 12.44 and 12.48 there should be five buses in Underhill.
