Claribels

[Jack]

So Claribels still haven't got any fleet decal or livery for their E200s but that's fine because they've now plastered the side of one with an advert instead

One was on the 424 which had a pink advert on the nearside. They do look like a ghost operator around here.

Just the 167? Not the 168 that it interworks with?
--Edit -- scrap that I've just seen the TfWM document saying it is both
What's the betting the change to the 94 is fewer buses so they can run these instead?

[monkeyjoe]

Interesting 94 says limited stop so maybe make the route faster take 2 buses out of the pvr?

[monkeyjoe]

Interested to know how the 71a is performing what's the betting frequently leaves kingshurst empty

Ive seen it Solihull a lot lately and its been running empty. Unless its just the holidays or if Sunny just hog the stand for 10 minutes and then leave with a full load.

Vosa have  as ever got a few details wrong as 94 is not registered as limited stop & they have 600 & 167(/168) down as not receiving subsidy. These details are not correct.
There are only slight changes to 94 service. Also missing of vosa site is the cancellation of service 71A from 22nd October.

When will the 17 plate e200s be painted! Not even a company logo....

[Jack]

Are Claribels gaining more E200s for the 167/8 and 600 when they takeover? Judging by the '61' plate on the 424 it looks like more are coming.

Can they at least have a company logo stuck on them, they look terrible just being white, aka the Ghost Operator on the 424 I nicknamed them.

The whole service is cancelled

Because they care about the East Brum area that much....

So I take it despite all the 'hoo-hah' regarding some of the East Birmingham changes, your extension wasn't used enough to make it worthwhile?

Fair play for giving it a go though.
