Been told they forget to go in Russell's hall hospital when it's busy at 1400 in both directions so already missing part of the toute out

And their timekeeping is atrocious...9 down off Stourbridge on the 1848...even after his 6 min layover on the X96 stand yesterday.

Come on! They've only been on the route a couple of days. There will inevitably be some timekeeping issues to resolve as out of service tometable predictions are never going to correspond with the reality in service with traffic and passengers etc.

So you call a 6 minute timetabled layover which he did plus a extra 9 mins because he was waiting to pull out before a NX bus was due out

Ie timetabled arrival (according to the driver) 1842, actual arrival 1840, timetabled departure (according to the driver) 1848, actual departure 1857

I thought the 246 was Mon - Fri? I've just seen T202 AFM on there.

Good start!!!!

Hang on a second, i thought that Centro provided all bus companies (except NE) with ticket machines, so if they weren't fitted in the buses, where were they???

I thought it was up to the operator to have their own ticket machine , buses in livery& blinds  I know before u say cost they are quicker enough to buy a bus  & run without them

Here's a stupid question.... Is there a copy of the 246 GRS timetable available? Can't find it on NWM website.

From what I am told he is taking 3x as much as on the 16, so I don't think he'll be coming off the 246 any time soon
