Found this on vosa PD1078264/8 - RAJINDER BANGA T/A BANGA BUSES, 4 VICARAGE ROAD, ALLSAINTS, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV2 1DT
Registration Accepted
Starting Point: Wolverhampton, Bilston Street
Finish Point: Rocketpool, Bilston
Via: Wellington Road, Bilston Bus Station
Service Number: 77
Service Type: Normal Stopping
Effective Date: 23-JUN-2014
Other Details: Monday to Friday
As Arriva are running in 530 wonder if this is in retaliation
To protect thete service or a renumbering of 530

Looks like this service is Banga's response to Arriva. Sounds like it will run along the same route as the 79 and 39 between Wolverhampton and Bilston via the A41 Wellington Road. So by missing out the Rough Hills section of route it should provide quicker journeys.

I remember when I was younger and Banga used to operate the 77 against TWMs 530. Is this the same route as the previous version of this route?

I should think so too its a shed. That said some of cannocks 51 plate batch are up there with midlands worst ones. Yet theres get resprayed and refurbished but itd seem cannocks fleet never get anything done.  Could it be cannocks are in harness so much they never get enough downtime etc to get done?

Bob

Also, how many deckers do wednesfield have left now? Can't be many

They would probably brand them then use them on other routes 99% of the time....

Bob

Been on the 10 today, asked the driver if it ever gets busy ( enough for a decker) he said no way and also theyre lucky if they get one passenger to codsall lol. Nx seem to cope alright with smart modern b7rles, maybe arriva could put some new-ish single deckers on it instead of clapped out ex london crap and those ex Nottingham sheds? Even something like the Leicester b7rles would look the part and up their image

Ashley

Makes a change I agree with you Bob. When Midlands bought those OmniCities from Nottingham, they should have been kept for the 10 rather than giving them to D&G. To be fair NX would be better off putting a decker back on there even at night

Bob

Does the nx 10 get busier than the arriva one then?
