A Mercedes S65 AMG in black with unlimited fuel. So I don't have to catch a public bus with a bunch of idiots taking ages to get there :)

Of course I'm an enthusiast but I hate catching the bus because of the lack of legroom, the smell of weed, the noisy morons, the annoying music, the drunks and a lot more.

So for that reason, I'm out.

BU07 LGO

More local variety would be nice, i live in Pheasey and all routes now are Enviro operated, (except 451 and 651), a few years ago it was all gemini haha

More trains between Stourbridge Junction & B'ham New Street

Don't be lazy, get off at Moor Street and walk, it's not that far! LOL  ;D

4504

Sorry, did I go wrong somewhere. I thought this topic was for fun, what would you say to people with luggage having to drag it all the way to new street from moor street, I just noticed there's an unused line by the Smethwick junction, apart from, I think it's two trains a day.
Anyway, it was a thought for fun, because if this did happen, there would certainly be delays between Galton Bridge and Stourbridge Junction

Electronic route displays inside trains, i.e. LM class 323s, if Arriva and Great Western can install some, so can london midland  ;)

Liberator9

Well please don't mock this but:

Conductors make a return  - this is of course never going to happen to prevent vandalism
If the above happened, remove those rattly ticket machines
LED interior screens showing location and general information on all buses with multicolour exterior LED blinds
Wright to make a better version of the Wright Crusader and the Liberators. Same exterior design (front) with ZF gearbox but quieter and with modern interior
Wright reinstate the original Eclipse Urban as personally, preferred the front
Geminis to be fully refurbed with a new single best impressions livery.
All buses to have a new best impressions livery similar to Network Warrington.
Stagecoach design Enviro 300s, Mercedes Citaro and Temsa Avenues ordered
A UK Man Lion City made and a Foton BJ6123 (Chinese maker shown at
Interiors have some resistant material on seat backs to stop marks. Although new cleaning technology can now remove them
Bus makers ensure the buses are rattle free with better materials and some sort of insulation which absorbs shakes to prevent this getting through to the panels.
Car like seats fitted which are much more comfy!


And I think that's it! Just for fun though! So don't mock any of the above  ;)

The i-bus system similar to London would be good if this was to be installed i would trial it on the outercircle first telling people where to get off for other bus connections, town centre's and any other attractions and then if sucessful roll it out on all NXWM buses as standard like london.

The completion of the second phase of the Wolverhampton Interchange project.
More Enviros for PE.
Enviros for WN and WB.
Next stop announcements

Express version of the 529 and 126.

Express route between Wolves and Merry Hill.
Metro extensions to Walsall, Dudley, Merry Hill, Stourbridge, Halesowen, Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham Airport, and Coventry
Resurrection of the 333 route.
Extension of the 34 route to Wolves from it's current terminus in Stowlawn via the route the 334 used to take back in the 90s.
