Yes, but why didn't they paint the whole bus all at the same time?

Why don't you get into the shoes of the operator and see how hard it is to find time to do these things when big SPD'S like 14 are on the road every day

Couldn't they have replaced it with something else whilst it was being painted? Surely a spare bus is available?

SK52OKE was aquired last year, both this on OJG have both been out in service everyday since they came to Select Bus, the front end was painted because it did look awful orange and white with a select panel on....  It will be painted as soon as it can be pulled off the road but keeping services running are the priority.....

Both recent arrivals now in fleet livery - the Dart in Stafford and the Solo on the 36 in Lichfield - someone has gone to the trouble of covering the reference to 35b on one end of the shelter, but not the other!

@mikestone both were painted before they entered service

Does anyone know who is operating TfWM tendered service 50 (Wolverhampton to Wednesfield) from this coming Monday? I saw mention elsewhere that it was looking likely National Express had won it but there is no mention on their website & social media channels. Are Select retaining it now then?

Cheers.

And chopped back even further. Now 04 minutes past the hour from Wednesfield and 40 past the hour from Wolverhampton, last one from Wolverhampton at 13:40 and Wednesfield at 14:04, there is no longer a Saturday service.

How much of an increase is that?
