Very interesting movements from good old Ring and Ride. What's happening with them? Are they entering fare-paying service now?

[hartshill busman 724210]

There is certainly some movement in that direction it seems .I`
ve seen their buses in wolves and they operate buses in coventry (route 1) under centro contract. Anywhere else?

They've been on the 900 in Coventry but a very limited service, one bus each way per day spaced out.

They also run the 61 in Wolverhampton (Goldthorn Hill), was 104, but have seen a minibus on it also.

Today I saw this Ring and Ride Volkswagen Crafter (BX04 XZJ)

and I can not see it in Tony's fleetlist.

Then I found this picture

Which says it is ex ring and ride.

Has it left Ring and Ride, or is it still in use with them, as it is at the Ring and Ride bus stop?

I think it is with them, I have two photographs of it recently which I haven't put on the website yet. It is missing from the company fleetlist I had from them a couple of months ago, but both times I have seen it it seems to be doing Ring & Ride 'stuff'

Thanks, Tony. Do you remember what the fleetnumber is or was?
