Thought Banga had smartened up their act in recent years?

Truth be told Banga probably wouldn't give a monkeys anyway so be a waste of time

His bosses or film him doing it so he can't argue if or  the police see him could get charged smoking while in charge of a moving vehicle while at work as driving if he wants to smoke wait till on break & do it smoke away from the bus

You could try contacting Banga themselves. You could also report the incident to TfWM. Make a note of the vehicle details (reg number, route if in service, time etc). I'm not saying anything will happen immediately but at least you'll have done your part.

I have put a full fleet list on my website of every vehicle I know they have ever owned, unless anyone else knows better

Looks good to me. Incidentally I think IIG 3753 is a former Arriva Midlands Solo

Yes, I know, along with a couple of the others, and 4 ex West Midlands ones.

I have a photo of IIG 3753, but only with Arriva, I never saw it running for Banga

i remember yn53elv being 1 or 2 (the other yn53svt) new at choice travel. They certainly have come a long way since the son took over, and seem to be able to retain drivers

Anyone in Bilston Bus Station today(Saturday) around half 12 lunchtime know what was happening?

Seemed to involve a Banga vehicle!

Banga are another company who don't do £1.50 tickets

I recently said that this company was a Micky Mouse company. I think I've proved myself right. 
Today.....The bus that I was on had a big hole in the bumper. The driver decided to have a change to have a change of route when he entered Wolves City centre.
Was on another BB  last week. Seats look like they had never been cleaned.
On the outside of the bus the top part of a window was shattered & taped over with black tape.

I assume the bus with a whole in the bumper was YX60FUE? Some routes inter work on Banga network (e.g the bus comes into Wton as a 53, goes out as an 81 to maintain frequency).
Cleanliness isn't great but that's reflected in fares; not sure which vehicle you're on about but at least the service is mostly reliable and friendly.
The bus w/ the shattered top part of the window is MX12JXC and has been like that for ages

YX61BYB is the bus with the filthy seats. 
The bus which changed stops was route 891. Normally comes into Wolves & unloads by the Cop station
