VIP

Think Matt has gone out to see who is operating the 99 tonight!

The 21:20 99 from Halesowen was not operated by anyone.

Interesting.

Did VIP usually turn up anyway?

Yes, surprisingly they are usually very punctual

They probably did but not on time, but its bad that people have been left without services all day (424, 650) evening 99

I'm just glad none of my locals are ran by VIP  ;D

No Nathan, I walked along the route into the bus station, even VIP do not leave 10 minutes early. It did not come within the next 25 minutes either

And at this hour that means its a near certainty that it didn't run. Thank you Matt for that, its appreciated.

No worries, I would've gone out again to see if the other board (22:20 from Halesowen) was being operated but I have work I should be doing! ;)

Oh, no worries :)

I just feel sorry for anyone left standing at bus stops along the 99's route whose bus is never going to come

That's true, it's one thing people checking during adverse weather for example, but you can't expect people to check the NWM website every day, just in case there operator is unable to run services.

Wonder how there getting home ? Or getting to Late Night Shifts for that matter ::)

Especially those who went to the Centro website and you read,

"VIP Update: Centro Contracted journeys on service 72, 99, 966 will operate this evening. Journeys may be provided by another operator."

Better late than never, even though people now are late for the shifs an what not. I'd be fuming if that was my service to get me to work, but it carnt be helped though, but glad to see somethings been drafted up asap

What do you mean by better late than never, it's looking like never for the 99 tonight

Apparently VIP are out on 966 & 72 tonight
