West Midlands Bus

Ok then so why are the local trains carrying the logo now they have been painted?

May be I am reading into Mr Streets press release too far. However some of the timetables are not produced by TfWM anymore yes the big ones at the stops  & bus stations are but  the ones that you'd pick up from the travelshops aren't. ther are either produced by TfWM (for some of them) or are produced by the operator  and then printed by TWM. All of which have got the emblom on and the words West Midlands Network.

Yes I know that most people who want to travel just want to know when the bus is coming and where they are going but there are som people who would like to know what tickest are available on the service and whether the ticket they've got is valid on it.

1) Because that is the WMR logo!  Google it.

2) That's what I was referring to.  WMN/TfWM print the timetables.  Think of it like this: you produce a product.  Rather than place it in plain white packaging, you'd put your logo on it, wouldn't you?

3) If you look on the sides of the buses, they have a large sticker which shows what tickets are sold/accepted.  Anyway, the majority of operators (bar Select who are the only one I can think of) accept nBus etc.

Ain't it just the same as the old Centro logo over trains/busstops/timetables/website etc.?

Or the Network West Midlands logo which replaced all that?

That's exactly what it is.  Just a logo!

...

Because that's the livery and emblem (or emblom if you insist) of the operator.

Instantly thought of the discussion in this topic when I saw this the other day (being modelled by 350122), not sure if this sticker is a one off though or actually being rolled out across the fleet. I do think this is a smart idea by Abellio for a change!

Yep. The ticket acceptance has remained in place for the time being, whilst discussions are still ongoing.

Glad the partnership has resumed i think partly the pandemic had a lot to play with it terminating early due to low passenger numbers.

I didn't  think low passenger numbers was the issue ?

[Steveminor]

It wasnt.
Simon has already gone into detail on here what the issue was.
