I've ummed and arred  about putting this post here and if its in the wrong place then feel
free to move it.

I got on a 79 from West Brom a couple of Saturdays ago and the driver on there was one of the nicest I've seen for a long time. Pleasant when I asked for my ticket, though he did look surprised when I said please! And said "you're welcome" when I got off the bus in Bilston after saying "thank you" as i got off. He drove the bus really well as well, waiting for passengers to sit down before moving off, it really was a pleasure being on his bus.

The bus left West Brom bus station at 1400 and the driver was a youngish black man, if anyone here knows him, tell him thank you for a very enjoyable journey.
Watching the 24's go driving by...

Wolverhampton garage do seem to have some really nice drivers, they've all seemed really friendly and polite when I've caught a 79, 82 or 126 in the past. Granted, I try to be nice and polite too, so I guess it goes both ways.
The 82 drivers drive really well too, since a lot of elderly use it to get from their estates to Bilston and beyond, as they always seem to make sure they get a seat before moving.
