Goodbye Sunday Service... http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/bus/servicechanges/ServiceChangesPages/13March.aspx

Re the 311 change, does this mean it will be operated initially with Thandi vehicles, then swop to Finesse Coaches vehicles on 13 March?

If it's all the same company, why didn't they licence it under Finesse in the first place?

(I guess I can use Swift PAYGO on Finesse too?)

An to be fair the Thandi companies do stay as seperate companies with the correct vehicles operating the correct registrations in recent years.

The only reason I include them in one big fleetlist on the main site is to the average bus watcher they look identical

@Westy they are two seperate Thandi companies

Anyone tried Thandi yet on the 311?

Seems alright so far, even gone to the trouble of producing leaflets as well.

Only thing I'm not sure is whether it registered my Swift Payg or not, as I didnt hear a beep!

Saw two on my way home today before I saw a NXWM one! What's the frequency supposed to be?

Seemed fairly full actually, which wasn't surprising seeing as they were both at least 10 minutes before a NXWM one at 5 o'clock

According to the leaflet, yes.

Just seen my first Thandi 311 just. Looks practically full looks a good move to me.

Westy · February 26, 2016, 06:12:10 PM

Is there a glossy leaflet for the 334 as well?

Thandi 311 comes up castle hill into Birmingham street unloads then enters bus station. Doesn't go round to stand and leaves straight up porters field in front of NX 311

No it doesn't. Im sorry but ive seen plenty of Thandi 311 that are normally on stand for 3 mins before leaving! They don't leave in front of NX either. It may just be a coincidence that when you saw it it was infront of the NX one.
