Based on that time the Kids assuming it was Kids and assuming they go to school would have not long finished.

Interesting tweet from Safer Travel WM with an accompanying letter.

Seems they've forgotten that NX haven't run the 19 for quite some time!

If NX doesn't run a route, no one will know, despite what people say.

Those recent meetings, only NX was mentioned in the public statements relating to it.

No mention of Chaserider or even Walsall Community Transport, who also operate in the area & have also been affected by ASB.

Just spotted this on You Tube.

For the benefit of anyone not familiar with the 19 route.


 
Looks like the YT'er who filmed it has filmed other routes as well!

Surely that should be Beechdale rather than Leamore & the 69 doesnt operate that late surely?

(Sure one of the managers at our place said his dad either works , or had worked at Walsall depot on the 70? Might have a chat next time I see him!)

Well whoever wrote the Tweet made several mistakes so it was probably rushed.

Service 19 hours of operation increased from tomorrow(Sunday)

Timetable on Tfwm site.

Just seen on the news Northumbria Police are using a Stagecoach E200 to deter ASB in Plain Clothes they see it happening or get reports and get off. They should do this on the 29 get an NX bus plain clothes officers when they attack the Bus get off and apprehend them. You could put normal passengers on it to. But NX and WMP should do it

You're joking aren't you? That's far too much paperwork for NX 😂😂 oh and then they would have to risk assess & all that BS

It happens all the time on NX. Safer Travel are regularly riding buses in plain clothes

You clearly don't understand WHY risks need to be assessed "& all that BS". Given the increased risks to passengers and staff, that BS will minimise any injury/damage to people and property, and minimise civil/criminal action in the event this happens. Responsible operators take great care and efforts to keep their passengers and staff safe.

I'm sure there'd be plenty of people on this forum quick enough to sue NX and any other bus company that didn't discharge its duties of care or legal obligations with "all that BS".
