Chaserider

Folks, I am taking this opportunity to clarify that while constructive criticism of bus operators is allowed here, what we won't allow is members publicly attacking or insulting each other.

You should all be grown-up and mature enough to understand the principle of "debate the opinion, not the person".

Thank you all!

I travelled on the Volvo B8RLE on the 36 today and I was very impressed. Friendly driver no breakdowns very nice bus...

I saw 22 at Bloxwich Asda traffic lights just before half 4 today.

Was it covering for a breakdown or was it a change of driver duty?

22 was on Amazon contract this evening as seen it heading in about 530pm[ish] with a 67 plate e200 of classic and a van hool t9 coach of P&D York too.

There appears to be further Greenbus vehicles at Delta Way for storage - ex London Tridents in both red and green parked with the ex NXWM Geminis.

Not sure how long they've been there as only noticed them on Saturday.

Yes they appeared one of the days last week either Thursday or Friday all I know is Green Bus must be paying Chaserider some good rent in order for them to be stored there because with those parked there it takes up quite a lot of the yard! I don't understand why they couldn't have them stored at their former Hockley depot I'm actually surprised Green Bus haven't approached Diamond and asked to store some on the car park at Tividale

Chaserider obviously have the spare space or wouldn't have agreed, so it is unexpected extra income for that space, so will only be charging the normal going rate or maybe less. If they put them in Hockley which they no longer rent then they would be paying full expenses as the landlord would expect the full price for retaking that land on.

Cannock should have plenty of spare space, built as a 100 bus garage

And they did approach diamond at tividale, at the time ex NX 1756 with 4666 went there with EX London 603/606/616, 2 off which are still there

Whats happened to 618? Do you have a list of vehicles still in active service with Green Bus?

Unreliable Solo 124 (MX05 ENF) has today transferred back to Hanley and Cannock has received Enviro 593 (YY64 GWL) in it's place whether or not 124 now permanently stays where it is remains to be seen either way 593 looks like a nice addition to Cannock with it being a 6 cylinder Cummins

I aim to please 🤣

To be fair it didnt seem to be able to last a day in service, i dunno what they were thinking of even sending it here lol. I never understood why they kept trying to use it on anything other than PGs where it was handy for the depot, putting it on anything inteturban was the deginition of madness cos failure was pretty much built in 😜
