Questions for Arriva Midlands

[AMD]

I work for Arriva and, having noted representatives from other companies engaging in this forum to good effect, I would like to offer answers to any reasonable and non-commercially sensitive questions in this thread.

I have engaged in this forum in the past as well as casually observing.

Welcome to the forum AMD! Maybe one of the admins can 'sticky' this topic to keep it on top.

Is there anything you can't answer, so some sort of ground rules can be set?

Example - Can you explain Wednesfield depot's reasoning about putting double deckers on the likes of the 19, when it has been stated many times on this forum what the loadings are like?

Done.

I presume AMD stands for Arriva Midlands Director? Or Arriva Managing Director?

Oh, lol, forgot about him! Why was I thinking he moved to First?

No, just an abbreviation for Arriva Midlands. I am based at one of the local sites.

OK, thanks.

heres a question, why do your no.10 service wolverhampton to perton drivers keep being allocated buses without the transponder device to activate perton barrier. it happened again tonight the driver had to go around the long way again, and ended up being late !! bet the poor sod had some stick throughout his shift! also, if they are running late, are they supposed to still go around perton clockwise/anticlockwise or can they just go round the one way.

Hi, are the rumors about the 110 going Sapphire true or just driver gossip?

The loadings on the 19 are not as bad as made out on here

They still wouldn't fill a MPD dart though,  so vehicles like that would make sense from a passenger numbers & probably economical point of view. ...

Hello.
Can you say whether Wednesfield garage is considered to be fully integrated with the rest of AMN yet,it seems strange that the 604 and the Sutton Sainsbury Free Bus are not worked from Tamworth.
Unless there is to be further integration in the future.
Thank You.

Has Arriva Wednesfield ever thought about extending the 310 to Stourbridge via the X96 route or Delph Road and Brettle Lane to capture some passengers from the Stourbridge - Dudley market - or considered running on the X96 Wollaston to Merry Hill section?

Is there any truth in the rumour that cannock are going to receive some deckers to convert the stafford routes? ??

[covlad27]

Isnt it about time there was a proper service review at Cannock.  There are some very badly timed routes and some that could do with being re routed or cancelled.

Can a service to birmingham not be reintroduced from cannock but not using the motorway that was the failure of theX31
