I thought I would start this topic because I am a little inquisitive into fares and passes.

Will Arriva accept a WM Travelcard for free or is there a surcharge?

They kept that quiet.

Wonder how many of the drivers are aware of that?

Do Diamond do anything similar?

Kept it quiet? Nearly every Arriva bus has a sticker on the first window stating it!

To be honest I don't look at Arriva buses closely that often, bearing in mind I have a Black Country Faresaver & walk round to Bloxwich Road to catch my buses!

Did your request to change your name from LiamthebusGuy to LiamOnThe Buses get lost in the forum black hole?

Read the rules!

If a person gets a Bus pass only for Coventry? Is the cover blue? I have a red NXWM bus pass that is due to expire on the 27th of October.

It doesn't matter what bus pass case you have- As long as the travelcard itself is valid then that all that matters

I think only nBus tickets are valid in Coventry, from the West Midlands, unless it's a regional NXWM one, then you're fine
Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

So as well as checking tickets, you have to report drivers who don't drive to the correct standard as well.

"Monitor and take corrective actions to Drivers by ensuring timetable adherence, correct uniform is worn at all times, reporting less than satisfactory driving standards"
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I would like to thank people for making this topic so popular, i think it is the only topic i have made that is actually being posted on.


@Alex @Nathan I thought you said to me that I couldn't be a 'bus spotter'...

@EVERYONE ELSE
I get quite a lot of grief from Nathan and Alex for still being a 'Newbie'...
