Buses To Find

[Tara4352]

Not three deckers down, those are AG buses. And AG are not three buses down because they don't release Presidents to reserve until they get the replacements in the garage, the person allocating the buses has a good idea what he is doing!

4534 is also now an AG bus and in paint

That was only on the 29 earlier this week

Now all NX need to do is find a cliff to throw the Presidents down :)

Are they really that bad?

Some of them lol. They'd be massively improved with a smaller (Gemini steering wheel) and a bigger cab. Doing two trips on the 11 is terrible I find, when driving one of these. Gemini's have more room in the cab, you can stretch your left leg at least lol. Plus they're slow. Plus they're boring, sound like drones. Plus they're limited to 44mph when the Geminis aren't. Not good when NIS back to Garage. I'm kidding :)

4105 is quite good got quite bit power when i rode it on the 29 the other day, the driver on the 6 today crawled along at 10 mph i said to him whats going on, he said, this is how he drives, and i replied, controllers dont like you as when your late you cant be asked to floor it to make up time.

He was not driving at 10 mph. Looking at its tracking every driver who had 4105 today achieved 100% within TC rules on most of their trips, so he was driving to match road conditions and schedules which certainly wouldn't be anywhere near 10mph

He was crawling along mate, i was like what the hell is this. oh yeah that reminds me, what routes do you usually get fast rides here? most drivers are quite slow here even when late, yesterday pm peak traffic was back in walsall down bloxwich road, 29s were late, drivers didnt floor it, they drove it easy.

Perhaps they don't want to or feel the need to rush behind the wheel and potentially lose their job.

11A between Kings Heath and AG, quite often. As often the driver is coming off at the garage and wants to get there on time.

That anything to do with the North Street closure, as traffic has backed up coming out of Walsall this week between Littleton Street & Wisemore.

Yes traffic was hell yesterday, its all around the Bloxwich road at walsall the round way system, the the tesco roundabout the buses were quing to get around of their, one thing i notice TWM buses dont have enough stand time built in for delays, so once they miss their slot at Walsall Bus stn and they arr and anourther bus is their they have to alight different stop then go around again, what kind of system is that at Walsall bus stn, its like LHR planes missing their timed slot, same with the buses at Walsall, drivers are very aggressive their about their slots if another buses that is on time is on the stand, if they are late that is their problem.

Is their any Volvos that roar at WA like in London?

No he was not crawling, he was driving as he has been taught to drive, professionally which despite what you think was nowhere near 10mph
