Chaserider

Any idea what type of bus it was?

No idea, I didn't look at the body type, as the sight of (a) a 25 on the A5 up there confused me and (b) I didn't realise that Chaserider had full-body ads on their buses.

Pouring through bustimes and the time of day it was, I think it was MX62 ARF as it shows as being changed over at the time I would've been passing the area. I don't see an up-to-date picture of it to double check though, will have to see if I spot it the next time I'm in the area.

I haven't checked the tracking, but it could've been 179, since that's now in a full body advert livery for a local radio.

I was thinking that I saw a Solo, and it weren't tracking between 9 and 12 on Friday so it could well have been that one. Tony literally took a picture of it on the same day. I just thought I saw more yellow in the livery.

Hope Chaserider will send someone down to Walsall Travelshop, to collect their remaining timetables on display before it shuts.

What a waste of paper, if Nx chuck them in the bin, especially as they're all still completley valid!

Looks like D&G (Presumably Chaserider) will be operating a workers shuttle to Alton Towers! The service/services will be serving the following areas: Cannock; Burntwood; Hednesford; Rugeley; Great Haywood; Hixon; Uttoxeter; and Denstone.

I'm trying to hunt down a timetable but no such luck as of yet

You could send them a quick message / tweet instead of posting on here ?

They have been running a registered Alton Towers works service from Leek  ever since Tussaud's stopped operating their own transport without publishing a timetable, so why should this be different?

I suppose I could do.

Do they use an advertising agency for their all over ads?

There has been timetables available for the Alton Towers works service before.  How would Alton Towers staff know when the bus is, if there isn't a timetable available?

I presume one would be available in private for the workers.

Seen in Pye Green on the 25 circular service was Centrebus 309 an Optare Solo M850 in the old Centrebus livery but with Chaserider fleetnames.  By my reckoning that makes 4 Centresbus liveried loans (?) or transfers (?) with 603, 605 and 606 the VDL SB120/Plaxton Centros.

603 is apparently on the 841 tonight according to bustimes.org
