Nothing confirmed at the moment.

Given the way the network has shrunk over the years and the reduction in passengers that doesnt surprise me

Hi Simon,

I appreciate you are responsible for Arriva Midlands West but I am wondering if you could answer, or find out regarding whether Arriva Midlands has done an equality impact assessment following the decision to withdraw paper timetables soon from its Leicester operation?

Having previously worked within digital transformation, I understand the potential impact this sort of decision could have on your most vulnerable users who are potentially not digital ready.

Hi,

I am not aware if they have or haven't to be honest. 

I know it is a trial and we want to see what happens.  Printouts from the internet will be available in St Margaret's Travel Shop if all else fails for people.

I will pass your comment on.

Thanks

Simon

I thought equality impact assessments were only applicable to public bodies and were abolished in 2012?

On the subject of paper timetables Simon, a few years ago(certainly while you were working for the other lot!), there was supposed to be some sort of agreement between Arriva & Centro/TfWm, to put Arriva branded leaflets in NWM centres, but for some reason, that situation has changed & unless that service is part of an TfWm contract & included for completeness, there is no paper copies of timetables for Arriva services operating to & from Wm county.

As far as Walsall is concerned, there has been no timetables for services 1, 2 & 3 since late 2016 in the travelshop.

Unless you go online, the nearest place, subject to availability, is Cannock library, or if you're really lucky, you find a copy on a bus, but that is hit & miss, as I initially found the Cannock 25/26 leaflet on a 2 going to Walsall!

True but its a  4 bus per hr combined 1 & 2 and timetable is on the stop in walsall 😀
