Landflight (formerly Silverline)

[MW]

YX69 NUC was out on A10 today.

Is it by any chance replacing YX63 ZXM which use to the allocated bus for A10?

Landflight have always said that they intend to be 100% Euro 6 by 2020. I recall it being mentioned that the YX16 Enviro would be converted to Euro 6. Based on that logic, I'd assume the remaining 3 Classic versions to be replaced with new shorter examples due to the A10/A12 being fairly tight routes. Maybe @Matt.N0056 can confirm.

Correct! All 3 in service today, NUC/E on A12 & NUF on A10

Hi @Matt.N0056 do you have any further information on this? How does it work etc, just so I can update my website.

Hi Stu,

It's not tap&go/capped like NXWM which means any ticket or number of tickets can be brought using contactless card/Apple Pay/google pay. Pretty much the same as Diamond's

If I'm honest the Ticketer designed solution for contactless is better as it promotes the purchase of multi op/period tickets.

Hi all

Can anybody please confirm where the terminus is for the A4 at Inkford Brook is correct. As I think it should be further down the road (where the 150 is mentioned after the junction of Chapel  Lane)?

Thanks

You are correct.  Inkford Brook is a bit further down the Alcester Road, in fact just south of where the map background changes colour from light green to dark green.  The bus stop and layover point is on the slip road immediately after Barkers Lane.  Buses then do a U turn at the junction with Watery Lane (going under the A435 Alcester Road, which is on a flyover at that point), then use Alcester Road northbound and Hill Lane to Chapel Lane.  Buses have a few minutes' layover at Inkford, but passengers can travel through to Wythall Church.

Wythall Transport Museum buses travelling to the museum actually follow the same route from Wythall roundabout (aka Becketts Island).

Hi Justin

Thanks for that info so the current terminus is wrong, as I suspected. I'll try to get it rectified no promise though! 😁

Have Landflight got a small enough bus to do the turnaround on Digby Drive? I'm sure I remember that Central Connect used to use one of those short buses, but most of what I've seen on route in the past (when it was the 676) were minibuses.

Also your two links refer to the A10 and S10. They need to update things properly.
