I would have thought that the priority for NXWM and all their staff will be getting the existing network up and running and making money again and not launching speculative services in the Evenings and Sundays.

If you bother to read it clearly states that we want to start getting signatures to put it forward at an appropriate time.

I did read it, and you don't mention when you are going to take further action. Perhaps this should be stated so people don't get their hopes up.

We don't know when an appropriate time is going to be, so what is the point in collecting signatures for a petition then when you can't even predict when this might even be passed on. It will be many months before things stand a chance of getting back to how they were.

There is no point getting peoples hopes up when even if this did happen it will be a very long time in the future, and then it's even talking about more services in the Cannock area!

Sorry to appear negative, but I don't think this is the right time to do this kind of thing when the industry is in such turmoil.

I'll make it more clear on there. We discussed it as a group and decided to start getting signatures, particularly as more people are at home. Its a continuation of our last petition 2 years ago that was in the local news, we never got a solution.

Thanks for doing all this work! So 1773 is the oldest operational bus in the fleet.

I've seen quite a few comments from passengers about liking Platinum double deckers on the 4, 4H and 4M. When these routes start going back to normal these passengers are going to be disappointed to be back on single deckers again !

Why will they be disappointed? Is there a capacity problem on that route?

A user had said that the 4/4H/4M aren't suitable for single deckers. Isn't the only service in the West Midlands to have that issue.
