I very much doubt it, but it only takes about 4 days to convert a bus

It seems that Thandi Executive have some ex-Dublin ALX400 B7TLs ...

I've counted seven in passing this morning - though, regretfully, I can only recall six of their registrations.

BC05 RVN/RVO/RVP/RVT/RVU/RVV

Managed to photograph four of them in Smethwick today; the other three later drove past me.

edit: the last appears to be BC05 RTV
Check out my photos on Flickr & Instagram

I take it these are for school contracts, or are they going to start doing rail replacements?

Thandi's 334 has been withdrawn from Bilston Bus Station with immediate effect, according to a TfWM poster there. It states that it will now only operate from Herberts Park, Michael Rd, Darlaston, to Walsall.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

Would this is possibly why I saw one running as a 334E yesterday? I followed one out of Walsall, but didn't see the front so didn't know what its destination was set as. I've looked at the timetable that is up (which seems to be the new one) and there's no short workings shown on it.

How come it's been changed?

Lack of passengers?

Lack of drivers, due to Covid?

How much are the fees? Or is that confidential stuff?

It's shown as doing a loop using Stafford St, Wolverhampton St, Hall St, Rough Hay Rd & St Lawrence Way to Darlaston Asda.

I'm quite puzzled as to their reasoning for this.  I used to use it often and it did pick up a fair few people between Bilston & Darlaston.

Probably losing money with their really low fares
