Service 29 vandalism and anti-social behaviour affecting Walsall buses

[Jack]

So, it's STILL happening then...on the basis of this there is no way that Chaserider will revert the 19 back to it's original timetable, I hope at some point Chaserider decide they are pulling off the route altogether and I hope that no other operator wants to take it on and the route is scrapped indefinitely

It's up to TfWM if they want the route to be continue to be operated.

Chaserider should've known what they was going into when they bidded for it!

Probably go back to NX, who will save the day before they to say to TFWM that now they are losing more Buses than before to yobs. When an E200 and B7 are off the road with broken windows.

Find the parents of culprits and evict them or end tenancy's , I bet they are known and have been warned.

And the passengers who lose their bus service? Not all  of the residents are targeting buses so why should they lose out because of a minority?

Because it's like I said to my partner yesterday we don't know that the parents of these imbred little shits who are causing the damage are not using the 19 themselves and are aware of what they're vile brats are doing & allowing them to do it; granted maybe it is unfair for everybody else BUT sometimes these companies have got to do the correct thing for safety of staff and passengers; so IF  Chaserider do pull the plug and then it transpires that no one else wants to operate it (wouldn't blame the other companies if they didn't) then that's that it's a little bit tough at the top as harsh as that may sound

Yep, in that same wording about the 19, you may as well expect NX to stop the 29 and leave the complete area unserved and people stranded because of a minority.

And they are doing it again it was tweeted 14 minutes ago so hadn't even gone 6PM

The 19 has gone out to tender this afternoon.

This is what TfWM have sent out to bidders. (Removed at the request of TfWM)

They just needed to put "use a prison van".

This is what TfWM have sent out to bidders. Might be of interest to some of you.

Who in their right mind would bid on this contract?

[Mike K]

What a desperate state of affairs to have to run a bus service. Whoever has to drive that route in the evening should be paid danger money.

[Westy]

Here's a suggestion.

TfWm buy the buses, fit them out to the specfications, then rent them out to the relavant operator.

(Don't some authorities do something similar with Park & Ride contracts?)

[hlliwmai]

YES!!!! They have finally realised to say I am overjoyed is a little bit of an understatement

West midland police are now running the service using riot minibuses
