Chaserider

[Bob]

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.

167 has been on there Tues and Thurs, surely thats breaching the tender conditions

Bus 1 has broke down again today on Walsall services, 638 has been pulled of the 60 to replace it, bus 1 and bus 2 keep causing Chaserider issues, i bet they would love to get rid of them to Centrebus or D&G.

799 either broke or got took off 70, on plus side a B8 Evolution replaced it

I wouldn't say 631 is a plus side lol

I believe its okay to use a non-compliant bus but they have to pay a fine. It very much depends upon the terms of the contract.

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.

Has it been said WA drivers are not accepting Nbus in Lichfield?

If I bought one on the 31 / 32, how's the driver going to know I was going to Lichfield?

If the same vehicles keep breaking down isn't time to look at the engineering dept

No I just know he said Perry Barr Drivers accept it and I think that means Walsall might accept them to

What's with all this about? 

NXWM accept Nbus on all their services as has been said on here several time. It not up to driver

Well, I thought asking Mark Fitchew what he issued & when might settle the question once & for all!

I've answered the question why don't you believe me?
Nbus is valid on all NXWM services, is that difficult to understand.

The daysaver extra is sold outside the WM county because you can only buy nBus within the West Midlands

I used to be able to buy an Nbus onX51 in Cannock at least a few months ago but if you ask for one nowits the daysave extra that comes out the ticket machine

Because as @Tony has said a fair few times now outside Nbus area you can't buy it and Cannock isn't within the Nbus zone now it may of been before but it isn't now meaning it's the daysaver Extra which is issues in this area.
