Chaserider

Noticed they're advertising for drivers on social media!

In other news, looks like TfWm have 'nicked' the Stokes Street bus stop sign & pole, presumably for works of some description, replacing it with a traffic cone & a Temporary Bus Stop sign.

I'd be surprised if said pole was reinstalled before Service 1 / 1a is withdrawn in July!

So apparently 18 Denis Dart FJ55 BVT is having its engine replaced and coming back out plus 555 Denis dart is being resprayed into chaserider livery. Now I know from what I can see is 17 is taxed (FJ55 BWG & 8 FJ54 OTT) are still in the depot so we could potentially see them return back into service

Crikey never thought 18 would come back. Theres supposed 2 be 3 scanias coming from high peak. Wonder what theyll replace. Hopefully Solos. Loads of breakdowns today. Solo been in bus stn for ages.

748 was in service on the A51 this afternoon with some fresh quite bad accident damage by the rear offside wheel this afternoon

FJ54OTP left for scrap last Friday

Breakdowns galore today. The last 70 ftom Cannock didnt run at all, leaving people stranded.. no replacement. Pretty bad for an hourly service

3 Scania's? I'm guessing 2 Omnicity's and a Solar?

Apparently. All green lol. Nothing like a coherent branding to stop you looking like a cowboy operator 🤣

Who run the services? Is it Chaserider, Centrebus, High Peak?

Tbf I prefer the new Centrebus livery over Chaseriders but am interested how well the Chaserider livery suits 555 if the rumors of it being resprayed are true
