Rotala Management - Questions & Answers

[Stu]

Across all operators there were a lot of tenders due out in April.

TfWM asked individual operators to extend contracts.  We agreed a deal to extend most, some were retendered including the 108, 530, 23. 

We in the end re-won the 530, and hence the changes in position

Thanks for your reply, so just to confirm, Diamond are continuing to operate the 530 evening service, with Banga Buses operating during the daytime?

Hi @Simon Dunn I was just wondering when the map on the West Midlands Diamond page will be updated? This is as the 17 is still mentioned, but this service was re-numbered to 17A also the  23, 28A & 108 need to be taken off.

Plus on the website would it not make sense to group the services together that would inter-work or that would be on the same TfWM produced timetable document reather than seperate them? So this would mean the 42/43/43A would be together on one box. I'm not trying to single out operators, I will also suggest this for other operators.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards

Hi @Simon Dunn thanks for the  quick response.

What about my observation about grouping services together?

Our website works on having singular sites per service.  I am not an IT expert, but I am told it is not achieveable

Hi @Simon Dunn 

I can tell you it is achieveable. Just look an NXWM Platinum website lists. Apart from the X1 and X2 all the other services  that are on the same printed TfWM timetable are together.

30120 showing to be on 4H this morning is it a ticket machine swap or is the bus actually on the route as I know this bus hasn't been on the road for a few months now 



Thanks.

What happened to the 89 route (Erdington to Kingstanding one)?
It says on the website it is running, but I didn't see one at all tracking or on the road

Hi @Simon Dunn  I know you've got better things to do with your time. I have just been on your website and noticed that the West Midlands map has been amendex to what I said. Thank you for doing that, though I have just noticed that the Coventry 1 is now still mentiond on it. This service is now run be NX. So it will need taking off this map.

Sorry for being a pain!!

At present we don't know.  It depends upon PVR at each depot, social distancing requirements, other opportunities and the requirements of every depot
