There was an agreement in the council contract as I did the 436 with Petes it was shared between Arriva.  We had to accept all returns and passes/day tickets. It did cover Sundays too.

I agree. Theyre all empty makes u wonder how they can make a profit running round empty. From my observations Midlands buses were mostly empty tho people from midland delude themselves otherwise.

The 66 did have a few people on when it left West Brom. The 20 and 21 did pick up a few people in Oldbury, but a 299 leaving Stourbridge only had 1 lady on. A few other services were nearly empty as well.

I believe that all these routes are Tenders, so who needs passengers when you still get paid to run them! ;D

Tbh their commercial services never seem very busy either though and according to one of the people on here who works for midland they have quite a lot of commerical services

2156 on Route 18(Wolverhampton-Lyndale) yesterday. First time i've seen one of the arriva darts on there. Usually it is midland livered MPD's or mainly optare solos. I see that once the number 18 finishes service it then goes onto route 19 (Walsall-bloxwich) as later on in tge day 2156 was operating the 19

Until more Arriva liveried buses arrive, it just seems like random routes are allocated the Arriva buses each day (Still waiting for the X56 to have a bus in Arriva livery). Will be nice to see Wednesfield when it is 100% Arriva livery.
