Questions for Simon from Arriva

[Simon@Arriva]

This will probably  be more a TfWm issue than yours  specifically, but if the timetable has changed by now, the bus stops between Bloxwich & Walsall  have not been  updated  yet after 5 days, both the flags & the timetable posters.

(I like all operators to have a level playing field!)

Hi

Yes and it is not good.  There has been some mix up but TfWM are doing them asap now.

Hi @Simon@Arriva yours aren't the only timetables & stops that haven't been alterered, but yes TfWM are on the case now asap.

Hi Simon this is Regarding the the Telford Garage I caught the Number 2 Service from Sutton Hill Telford to Telford Town Centre this Morning. It was late cant remember how many minutes late though but after doing the loop around Sutton Hill the driver asked the passengers if they knew the Diversion route afound Halesfield Industial Park as roads are closed at present. Surely the garage would have been notified and all drivers informed of this.

Also on this service after going through Brookside the driver completeley missed the Junction to head towards Dawley. The driver did go to the nearest roundabout to turn round to get back on route.

But there was NO Apology from the driver about the mistake as passengers were looking in amazement at the mistake. The bus was 2148 and arrived at least 10 mins late in to Telford Bus Station.

Never really have an issue with the Telford Garage but i think there could better communications to drivers about service diversions.  I know the drivers drive different routes but surely there should a communication to all drivers

OK thanks,

Will get some taken there asap.

Number 3 is on the rack so far!

[Simon@Arriva]

Electric bus in Shrewsbury for a couple of weeks from today.  Likely to be on Park and Rides but might make it on to the 436 as well.  A Yutong E10 in London spec.

Just to give you an update on the Bloxwich corridor, as far as Bloxwich Road is concerned, the flags have mostly changed, but not the timetable posters!


(And no one has been down Somerfield Road, to remove their stops yet either!)

I heard a rumor that stagecoach have bought arriva. Is this true?

Don't you think a big story like that would be all over the internet?

Even if it was true, Simon, as a Director of the company would not be able to answer due to stock market rules.

[Simon@Arriva]

Will any other garages see this?

Possibly Telford.

Possibly Telford.

Do you know what route this would run on?

Apologies for delay to respond - my area now covers the 4 Leicester depots and I have been busy over there.

Not sure as yet on any more Sapphire vehicles.
