Quote from: Westy on March 04, 2025, 07:07:24 AM32135 seems to have a problem with its wheelchair ramp, to the extent the user had to be left behind at the stop!

0634 Mossley to Walsall & this happened at the May Street stop in Leamore.

(Unfortunatly a 32 went pass at the same time, else the user could've used that instead!)
Similar issue with 30525 this morning, the problem with the wheelchair ramp happened after the user got on the vehicle, and appeared something wasnt connecting, when the vehicle tried to move off, so after a few minutes, it decided it was a fault, your driver rang into the traffic office & gave us the choice to vacate the bus, which most of us did, apart from the wheelchair user afaik.

(If you look on your bus CCTV at journeys around that time(@tony - One for Nx as well, as the user uses your vehicles as well!), you will see at first glance)

At NX (And I presume Diamond) all wheelchair ramps are pulled out as part of the walk round check before the vehicle leaves the garage. Theses faults can happen at any time, they rely on a sensor checking the ramp is secure in the correct position before allowing the vehicle to be driven

Tony - you are correct.  The drivers are required to check the ramp as part of the walk round check.
