Been on 30929 what a fast brilliant bus. Certainly been fixed of the isuues of hills

Good to see they've repainted an ex arriva dart

An Arriva liveried dart was on the Erdington to Ward End, The Fox and Goose 25 today.
First time i've seen one on there, looks strange seeing one at the Fox and Goose.

Did a trip earlier to Mossley on 30409 on the 301. I noticed that this vehicle now has Wi-Fi fitted. Any idea how long this vehicle has had Wi-Fi fitted for? As I've never noticed it, even though I've been on it a number of times.

Several other vehicles have the same notice. 30407 & one of the 3094* B7RLE's

New I'd imagine! Would be good to see Rotala roll out WiFi on at least the higher spec Value/Royale/newer B7RLE's.

Anyone tried using contactless on the new ticket machines yet?

Yes it worked ok and is a good idea.

I've been told 10 have been done apparently. Not sure which ones though.

16 buses are being fitted with wi-fi to begin with and these vehicles are supposed to be used on the 4/4h route

A credit to the diamond team was the driver in arriva uniform driving 4H today. I take my word back about arriva drivers if they all are like him

Turns out not all drivers know how to work their new posh contactless machines as the driver of 20845 has just proven to me. Not slating as I got a free journey out of it (something I wouldn't normally be so joyous about). He didn't even think they did contactless which is the funny thing considering it's plastered all over their buses.

[Trident 4194]

Wonder if diamond monthly ticket sales have decreased with the 142 being axed, with 2 crucial areas no longer covered on their network.

[Trident 4194]

Wonder who been winning the competition on the 4H?

Ex arriva bus was on 12 at 10:05

By 11:05 they had got a solo on well done

Arriva bus back on 12 by 15:30. Do they get fined for this?
