Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

Whats going on with 33006?

I was given a VOR report for the North West last week.  I am advised that repairs are expected to be completed by tomorrow.

[Simon Dunn]

Are the Aussies any nearer to entering service yet

39001 - We are waiting for DVLA to issue paperwork to allow us to register the vehicle.
39002/39003/39004 - We have IVA inspection slots on 06/03/25, and 13/03/25 at present.

I think a small 23 seat Solo like 20746 YJ16 DXK would be ideal for the 22 plus if you're got long leg like me you can't site on the seats properly and there know where to put your shopping all we are asking is you puy something bigger on the 22 please 🙏 and also the passenger number is low because the ticket machines on the 22 always seen to be broken.

I understand what you are referring to is a bus stop - and therefore can stop there.

Hi, can you look at message 3984 please & comment?

[Simon Dunn]

Simon - Just to let you know, the driver of 30710, despite me signalling to him to stop, went past me at Tyler Road just, despite what you said so now Ive got to wait for a 529 now.

Tell the driver, thanks a bunch, when you speak to him!

We have looked at the CCTV.  Our Operations Manager thoughts are as follows.

"Driver does slow down but indication happens at the point the bus is passing.
 
Could the driver still have stopped, potentially yes, it appears that he still had the room.
 
I will make sure that he is seen upon return to depot today"

In front of your bus was a Blakemores lorry IIRC, so vision was slightly impeded, but at the speed the surrounding traffic was going, he could've stopped IMO.

Good luck with that then

32135 seems to have a problem with its wheelchair ramp, to the extent the user had to be left behind at the stop!

0634 Mossley to Walsall & this happened at the May Street stop in Leamore.

(Unfortunatly a 32 went pass at the same time, else the user could've used that instead!)

Thank you - I will pick this up and see what went off.

The Illesbus is not the normal bus on the 22.  We have a higher PVR for the Illesbus than we actually have.   However, I am sure on occasion they may operate should circumstances arise.

We spent around £1,000,000 with Ticketer late 2024/ early 2025 to update our machines/ and install Gateways.  So I am surprised about your reliability issue.  Can you give me the date and journey when this last happened?

The last time the ticket machine was broken was last Friday I believe and it was on the 09:20 journey from Swadlincote to Burton.

And as for the Sprinters all we are asking is you put a bigger bus back on the 22.

I have looked through the Ticketer system for last Friday.  All the journeys seem to be there and I have looked on a singular trip and can see Contactless sales and Smart Concessionary passes being scanned.  So it look like it is working.

With regards to capacity.  Which trip do you believe it was close on capacity?

[Mkinson2224]

The 90:20 till 14:25 and some time the 16:24 can get busy
