Questions for Simon from Arriva

[l.murphy123]

@Simon@Arriva any reason you are running the number 2 tomorrow rather than the 2E which covers Great Wyrley as well as Cheslyn Hay & Landywood?

On a side note ticket promotion information is at every bus stop in Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay, no sign of NX yet so you got in first.

[Simon@Arriva]

That leaves the TfWm contract between Turnberry & Leamore unserved if they run a 2e.

(Mods - Don't delete. It's on topic!) @Westy - Maybe on topic, but Simon's thread isn't for chatter, Q&A's to/from Simon only.

Running a 2 as it serves most areas and no requirement to run as a 2E as part of the contract.

Good point.. fair enough.

Have you considered running the number 2 down Green Lane now that the X51 doesnt serve it (albeit it was only a couple of journeys). Wonder if you could have a deal with TJX for employee discount. Also there's a stop at the end of Green Lane that is behind The Wharf so that links that retail estate too.

I can't really comment on matters that have commercial impacts.

Will cannock have a heritage livery?

[Simon@Arriva]

For info: 3701-4 are in the fleet as cover for the vehicles that are being retrofitted for Euro 6 in Tamworth and have been helping out covering for repaints as well.  They are due to go to Leicester for their Euro 6 conversions in mid-May.

No I don't think so.

[Westy]

No I don't think so.

@Simon@Arriva Would the reason be the heritage livery would be too close to the crimson Nx colours potentially causing confusion?

No, nothing like that.  Just the need to keep on the right side of our Corporate Comms people.

@Simon@Arriva Bit of news for you on the publicity front.

You now have leaflets(multiple racks in the case of the 1 & 2!) in Walsall Bus Station for the 1 & 2, the 3 & 3c, plus Nwm's own version of the 3 & 3c as well!

Thanks.  After a long time trying we seem to have cracked this.  Hopefully it will continue.

What should be the situation at Wolves as didnt they close a desk at the bus station?

@Simon@Arriva will you be running buses through the 'designer village' complex when it's finished?
