Ok, so when i was going round the roundabout last week by Stourbridge Bus Station and the driver on the 276 coming down the road by the railway station didn't stop, just cut straight in front of me waving his hand is acceptable, what i am trying to point out is that there are good drivers on NE, but to say all of them are good is not right either.

On a forum like this, surely we have to have a balanced view.

Yes, which is why I didn't just delete it and am having a debate with you. If you would have originally posted you know what 'a few NX drivers are like' I wouldn't have answered you back, but the phrase you used grouped everyone into that category

My apologies if it sounded to scatthing, to me sometimes we seem to have a go at a lot of other companies drivers, but it is rare that an NE driver is mentioned when it comes to driving standards.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Currently on board 4739 working a 2E to Warstock, however it could also be a case of displaying the wrong destination.

Congratulations. Your posts hating on NX drivers have p1ssed me off. Well done.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Where did i say i hate NE divers, i was just asking for balance on the forum. I have no doubt that you, Tony and all the other drivers on here, follow company standards on driving, and i did apologise if my original statement was scathing, but you have to admit that some drivers do silly things. In my example at Stourbridge Bus Station, what if it had not been me going round the roundabout, but a police car, then it would have been a more serious incident.

754 just left WB on a 42E to Tipton, Central Avenue. Not to be confused by the normal 42s to Tipton Rail Station

Westy

There's a 4E to West Bromwich I've spotted around 1730 so far this week.

Is the Caldmore/ Fullbrook roadworks causing much problems?

Lukeee

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but saw one of the omnicitiy deckers displaying 46E perry Barr garage,  just looked odd as all 46 journeys terminate at perry Barr
