Questions for Simon from Arriva

[l.murphy123]

@Simon@Arriva Can you prioritise, where possible, the refurbs with USB charging and WiFi on the 1, 2, 2A routes as better replacements for the Sapphires?

Also wondering whether you could move the 2A to within the bus station at Walsall along the 31, 32's that run less frequently at night to increase numbers? Stands D - F should be much quieter.

Hi,

Working on a refurb plan for 2020 at the moment so will see what we can do.

Will have a look at evening 2A journeys yes.

@Simon@Arriva

Two questions about Thurmaston.

1) What's happening with the Citaro's now they aren't needed on the U1/2/3.
2) Why are we getting so many Cadet's?

Hi

Not sure on the Citaro vehicles.  No plan at the moment.

Cadets are in place to cover for some vehicles that are away for Eminox fitment or have accident damage/long term off the road.

Of Cannocks vehicles, which are likely to be refurbished? Assuming the Centros are staying theyre in a really poor state inside

Does the 23.48 Sat night 74 journey run from the stop outside the Sun Inn on its way out of Stafford?

@Simon@Arriva Is this what's happened with 4201 and 4763 as they've not been out for months. I know 4776's been scrapped but nothing's been said about these.

We have also had a couple of buses off due to accident damage and the like.

Hi, yes it does.

Hi Simon, can I ask why the driver of 3795 on the 110 off Sutton to City at 1315 refused to accept an nBus ticket just because it was issued by Diamond? I'd expect your staff to know what tickets are valid? He seemed pretty arrogant to me and my friends.

Which is the best Telford route for Patronage @Simon@Arriva ?

[Bob]

Hi Simon are Cannocks 4 remaining Pulsars moving on?

[Bob]

Would it make sense to swap them with 4 Centros from Telford? ( these being in better condition than the recent transfers in too)

So sorry to hear this.  Will get the driver identified and find out.

Hi

I am sure you will understand that I can't give you that information.
