QuoteWe Need more Police on Buses, I know once I was on the 79 coming home from college and a lad bragged about the fact he had stabbed someone in Walsall and that he had a machete on him there, One other passenger was sat upstairs with me, him and his girlfriend I believe they reported it Safer Travel Police and the Driver, but if the Police were on that bus or inspected them they may have been able to take action, took him of, searched him, arrested him, he didn't seem aggressive but if the Driver had confronted him over say an Expired Ticket if he was actually carrying then god knows what he may done to the Driver or Supervisors at Wolverhampton Bus Station.
Mate Birminghams far worse, not everything needs to happen in Wolverhampton for anyone to realise how bad everything is, especially how dangerous these youth are as you don't know what they have on them , a major issue in Birmingham

I never said that I was making the point More Police or Police who get on the bus could have been told by me or the other Passenger that they think the lad has a knife of him, they search him and arrest him, that driver in Brum is lucky that kid wasn't armed, If the lad I've said about had got aggressive he would have stabbed someone if he had anything on him, ie the Driver, Fellow Passenger or Inspector, Supervisor, just now I was reading about a bloke who was stabbed On the 51 in Brum, If we want buses to be safer More Police are needed they could also have arrested that bloke who stabbed someone before he had chance to

Having been on a 79 that didn't serve Bilston I wondered what was going on could see the flames from the Island, Someone said it was Arson, I think it is 1842 on the 39, when 4543 was destroyed in an Arson attack on the 79 it was near here to right opposite Bilston Police Station

4543 was years ago, Last few years it has had Stabbings, Arson at Greyhound and Punchbowl Pub and then a bloke running around setting fire to stuff including the former Horse and Jockey in the Town, Pete's Pantry Bakery Van and notabably two 12 year old stabbing to death that 16 year old, Bilston used to be known for having more murders per square mile due to how small it was than places in America. It isn't often Bilston has crime, However anyone could have done this they may not have been from Bilston and may have been bored set fire to 1842 and then caught another bus home who knows.

Just because a bus has allegedly been set on fire in Bilston, doesn't mean the offenders are from Bilston
