How many bus operators have you travelled on?

[vinh1000]

Hello all ;)

Wondered how many operators you have been on anywhere or in the WM

In the WM, have been on every single operator except Coastal Liner (can't seem to find the 905), A & M Group (Flexibus services), A Line Coaches of Coventry

Been on everyone else at least once (Banga's 333X, Travel Express's 11, Sunny Travels' 71, Sandwell 80, Whittle 125, Hi Ride 40X, Grosvenor when they used to operate 39/38??)

[Trident 4609]

vinh1000, If you want to catch a coastal liner bus they operate Mon-Fri on the 560 Wolverhampton-Bloxwich.

tbh never found a reason to go on a bus (been on a Borismaster though) because tube virtually goes everywhere :)

There are several journeys where bus is better than tube in London, for instance Euston to Kings Cross. If you use the tube, by the time you walk through the tunnels to the platform and back up again at Kings Cross you actually walk further than you would walking down the road from one to the other, just jumping on the bus which stops right outside the front of both stations is far easier and quicker

Yes, I was told that about the tube between those stations and Great Portland St Station whilst working in Mayfair, but I ended up walking to Kings Cross as was told it was 10 mins walk, which was a bit of an understatement
