Chaserider

[Wumpty]

Blimey, 3 posts in a row that make more sense than dozens before. Just a shame that the moaners won't read, or even understand!
Perhaps these same people never understood why Arriva thought it was best to just give in......

Thank you @RobertJ21a !

The time-served members of the forum have seen these posts recycled over and over. I make a number of calculated assumptions about Arriva and Chaserider, though always come back to my overriding thought............

What happens if Chaserider pull out?

I don't see any current competition on the routes, no other operators willing to run routes, yet Chaserider are lambasted constantly.

As has been said may times, if you think or know you can do better, set up a company to do it. I guarantee they won't!

Thank you too for your considerable efforts over a period of time.
I'm often amazed that a certain J Peddle continues the battle in the Chaserider area and can only assume that any significant route withdrawals by him would now probably lead to just the odd 1-2 routes left.

What also needs remembering is they agreed the purchase of chaserider just before covid

Doesn't mean they cant just sell up because they're well in there right to do so

They can. They can serve notice to the TC of their intention to cease operating in the agreed timescales and notify passengers of their intent.

There'd be the obvious political and public backlash from people who don't use the buses (nowt unusual there!), but if the public were damning my company like this, it's something I'd consider!!!

Maybe if they didnt run a p#ss poor unreliable service people wouldnt damn them!  Some of the comments on here are insane almost like the farepaying public should be grateful for a shit service cos no one else wants to run it ! This is why buses and trains should be a public service and not some privatised cash cow

So what public body should run them then?
The way they've started I wouldn't trust labour to run a bath.

Public bodies ran Delta Way till it was privatised along with the rest of the NBC by the scum Tories. Deregulation and privatisation has been  a joke.

If it's such a piss poor service why aren't there more complaints in the news or tv or local councillors all over it with a camera crew then there's the TC if it was that bad 
All I see is the same names moaning on here 
@Wumpty ?

Listen to Bob Starmer. Blaming the Tories for everything.  Liebour have done you proud have they? 
Is it the Tories fault you don't drive?
Let's see how South Western Trains do over the next few years.
I remember NBC fondly but it was in different times completely.
One of labours first acts was to increase the maximum fee from £2 to £3. That's an increase of 50%.

Check out Manchester. Bee Network has cost £225m a year, then look at comments to see if anyone has noticed improvements. Most common comment on any Facebook post about Wigan is can we have Stagecoach back. The main thing franchising is doing is helping private companies by guaranteeing their income

I agree. Franchising is still a private enterprise.
Can't wait to see what a bankrupt Birmingham council do to their franchise idea
