I've got to say Banga have improved their fleet quite a bit. It was only a few years back they had a load of knackered breadvans in a dull cream/blue livery. And now they have a fair few low floor vehicles and they have all their buses in a smart livery unlike the other independant in Wolverhampton....

Unlike the major operator too  ;)

I wish Banga all the best! All the NXWM 82's I saw today were B6's not even the Mercs, which are even more worn out!

I disagree actually. The remaining b6's are generally in far better condition than the awful Mercs.

I also wish Banga all the best and will try them out soon :)

Agreed - the Varios (or "Breadvans" as some types on here call them) are actually excellent buses, a shame for Banga that they aren't low floor. I think though that if Banga play their cards right they have a good chance of taking plenty of passengers from NX on this route.

There is always one who has be pedantic ::)  NX don't operate in previous operators colours or logo's though...

Anyway moving on....

Despite Arriva registering on the 530 Mon-Sat daytimes every 15 mins it does seem Banga are still getting the majority of passengers.  Saw a Solo go past last week with a healthy load (Not full of OAP's btw).

Makes a change it being somebody else, doesn't it? NX have several naff liveries, Banga have a consistent attractive image. No contest.

Sorry @DiamondDart I meant that the Mercs are more worn out than the B6's, didn't make myself clear
