Hi Simon,

Sorry that you won't be running the 202 any longer. Do you know if there's any other operator who may pick up parts of the route which will no longer be served (I'm thinking of Rubery - Rednal - Lickey areas in particular)?

We have provided data to WCC.  I am unsure what they have done with.

We have modified the route, with a view to improving commercial viability.  We had been in discussion with WCC for a while over a few routes

I notice 4H drivers are still using Stourbridge road from Halesowen rather than pool road as per new timetable. Don't know why they are driving longer distances than needed

Have you got any specific journey details so I can get them investigated?

Every single 4H journey used the old route of Stourbridge road rather than pool road. Maybe drivers are unaware

Hi Simon, now that certain restrictions are now easing slightly, are you able to share the revised timetable for the new deliveries from Wrightbus?  Especially the ones that were due at Bolton in April and June?

Hi Simon

Are drivers issued with correct company uniform when they join the company?  I've seen some drivers wearing other operators uniform whilst driving your services.  Also, do you have any guidelines on the wearing of uniform?  I've seen drivers wearing hoodies and unsuitable footwear, such as bright green trainers.

Which ones have been done Tividale/Kidderminster/Redditch depots. Thanks

The next vehicles due are for Preston, which I am advised are a few weeks away.  The whole programme due to Social distancing have rescheduled the whole order which was originally all due to be delivered by December 2020 to now re-phase to May 2021

Nobody should be wearing a hoodie or trainers.  Since 17th March, we have continued to recruit drivers, and I am aware that due to shutdowns new drivers have asked to wear Dark trousers/white shirt.

If you can give me the specific dates/times of the drivers in breach or even route I will pick this up with the depot
