They weren't there when I was there on Saturday. Only buses parked up were the 2 red scanias 704 & 748 and 191

Would Chaserider accept Nbus between Walsall and Lichfield if I have it issued on an NXWM bus If not how much would an Adult Daysaver or Return from Walsall to Lichfield be

nBus is only valid within the TfWM travel area, which Lichfield is not part of.

Single fares are still capped at £2, so you could make a return journey on a Chaserider service for £4.

Supposed to be the ticket that is only valid on Nx services, if you board out of county to go into the Wm area & you cant use on any other operator in the Wm county.

(See my post in the Tickets thread in General Discussion, where I quoted X3 driver Mark Fitchew, for further information!)

So after all the confusion there is a 57 plate Scania Solar

Also 506 has now transferred to high peak

506 has not transferred to high peak, it's only on loan to high peak, it will return back to Chaserider soon. I mean they can keep it if they want and send a better euro 6 bus in return. It's a shame Chaserider can't keep 747 that is euro 6 too, so could be used on Walsall routes and the 5. 

[Bob]

Do the tenders for the 3 and 5 specify Euro 6? If so theyve failed miserably with the 5... old Solos, setiously ? Lol

Some of the 36 drivers are quite nice and accept the nbus ticket in Lichfield

The Wolverhampton 5 is a euro 6 contract yeah, and I know they always putting non euro 6 buses on there, I don't think the 3 is a euro 6 contract as it's not in the TFWM zone long enough. I think the problem with the 5 is sometimes the driver takes anything, most the time the drivers seem to take the enviro 200s 505 and 506 and sometimes 497 and 498, or a Telford bus is used.

He said that Perry Barr Drivers accept Nbus in Lichfield so hopefully WA Drivers the only negative although I was probably gonna stick with NX anyway is that I couldn't use another operator. 

I was merely looking at options but I reckon it is fine getting back to Darlo at around half Severn anyway. It was just looking at options I always look at options for every journey.
