6707 floor has build up of dirt  and dried stain on both sides upstairs at the front. Regrettably these "standards" have become more prevalent on 900 recently.

@JoNi - why don't you re-post it in the 'Oddities' thread, then hopefully it will get sorted

Yep. Standard procedure. Don't blame the company though, blame the dirty buggers who use the service. I travelled on the 957 not so long ago and there was rubbish everywhere. And some yobs tried kicking the doors in.

I thought to myself "the company paid all this money for these buses and just look how the public treat them"

in my honest opinion I don't think any Birmingham routes should be platinum. The passengers simply do not deserve it

So how do you come to that conclusion Liverpool Street? Trying not to sound blunt here but not everybody who has to use a bus is scum. Comments like yours are so typical.

And you wonder why

Treat the buses with respect and I could understand
But they don't

Agreed they should ban eating and drinking for a start

I don't see how NX would be able to stop people eating and drinking on their buses. If they take there rubbish with them then I don't see anything wrong with it.
I think they should do something about smoking on buses though.

Personally, I don't have a problem with people eating or drinking on buses, as long as they take their rubbish with them. I'm never normally on a bus long enough to even think about doing either, I'll usually wait until I get to where I'm going, or have something to eat before setting out. But even if I did, I wouldn't dream of just discarding my rubbish on the bus, I'd take it with me, and dispose of it in a bin when I got off.

It just boils down to people basically; I don't like tarring all people with the same brush, but I certainly do ask questions of people who think it is perfectly acceptable to leave half-eaten food and other litter on a bus seat that somebody else will have to use. Simple lack of respect, not just for other people, but for themselves too. And it makes you wonder what they're like at home, bet they wouldn't like it if I came round their house and tossed an empty cider can on their carpet or left chip wrappers on their sofa!

@Stu, its the abundance of sucked-clean chicken bones that get me....

6.11 - eating isn't allowed officially!

My mom was on the 50 the other day and said there was all spit all over the floor!

Arguably, the fare table on the drivers cab door does state that you shouldn't bring any food/drink which may spill onto the bus - on board the bus; then again, arguments which may arise will be that this is not outruling all food/drink from the vehicle; or the general public moaning that they hadn't seen this notice at all...

Why would anyone do that?!

They're worse than wild pigs

You could totally ban all eating & drinking, but what then do you about a people who needs to eat and drink for medical reasons, eg: someone with diabetes?

I do personally feel that hot food should be banned, the smell is awful and makes far more mess than cold food.
