Long Acre should take the opportunity to put out better buses over Solos which can frequently appear on the route

I agree there but more longer vehicles would have to be acquired for this to even be a possibility and I would have thought the 4/4H, 42, 43 etc are more likely recipients of newer long buses. Unless they could get some more eclipses/centros and then all of the cadets could move over to Long Acre repainted and refurbed for the 50/16 and there would probably be enough for other routes as well, including some tendered routes whose buses go onto the 108 where extra capacity is also apparently needed.

If you got a out of date pass , nx pass or in one case a guy who used a piece of paper swiped it over the reader and nothing happened as if it were a concessionary card grs is the bus for you

Literally was a walk on service
Didn't even need to swipe my swift or anything :)

I hope you put your SWIFT card on the reader anyway, just for your own peace of mind.

Now that is a good choice of route to compete on!! Means of course that their buses don't have to comply with the sqbp rules. Hopefully diamond will do better on the 16 as a result...

AMPM had a bash at running on the 246, didn't carry many passengers and was only fairly short lived as I remember.

They did of course have far longer dead mileage from Tyseley as opposed to Bilston.

I'm looking forward to using them on my commute home from work each day

[Steveminor]

Am pm drivers only ever ran their mileage while I was there, however since the other routes were so far away I could be in Dudley often enough to look after 2 buses. So the drivers would often cut mileage or just park up. When I was there takings were significantly higher than even the 14 but as has been said the dead mileage was quite significant

When am/pm did the 246 there should have been two buses on but very regular there was only one on some days there was none on
