Coastal Liner

[fleetline6477]

I see from today's N&P on VOSA that Coastal Liner are to begin operating on route 560. If, according to posts on ARRIVA they were carrying very few passengers as a 560 what chance to Coastal Liner stand in competition with route 89 / 19 and the frequent 59 over a significant part of the route?

Presumably extra and more modern vehicles need to be sourced.

Do they operate anything else apart from 905 Mecca Bingo and the one return trip 16 Bloxwich - Essington?

I've always wondered why we have a company called Coastal Liner operating in the Midlands.

When do they start on the 560?

According to the latest N&P it will start from the 3rd June.

Wonder how much it cost Centro to keep changing the bus stop signs?

Bet theyve only just finshed changing them to the 19!

Ultimately it costs us Muppets who work not Centro!

It is actually the bus operator that has registered or changed a service that has to pay, both for the stop plates & at stop timetables.
Operators also have to pay for the bus stops to be cleaned (that's why Centro didn't care that the Corporation street bus stops were being cleaned on the last day of buses in corp street after all they weren't paying).

Saw Plaxton Dart Y 665 NLO in Metroline livery operating 905 today, maybe this will operate 560.

The timetables on bus stops have started appearing for Costal Liners 560. It runs beteeen 10-2 so around 5 trips off peak. 4 trips from Wolverhampton-Bloxwich between 10-13:30-2:00

And 5 trips in Wolverhampton direction with the last journey (Around 14:30 from my stop on the Lichfield road) terminates at Wednesfield High Street.

Starts from this Monday it seems

Follows the old Arriva 560 and NX89 so yes it does. Think its an off peak service.
