The buses are always on Time and always clean and reliable plus the buses are saving them money  :) if you keep slagging them off get a life and grow a pair and find something actually slag off  >:(i

I can't help feeling that the reason they're 'always on time' is partly down to the drivers not having the worry of DQM's or complaints as like NXWM drivers experience. If the pay was there I'd gladly drive for an independent, but none pay NXWM wages + overtime etc. (None on my routes either)

I'm probably going to get slammed for saying this but tbh the couple of times I've used Sandwell Travel on the 333X it wasn't a bad journey. Some improvements could be made (like getting rid of the step stuff and timekeeping on Walsall inbounds, although that can be attributed to traffic as Thandi., NXWM and Arriva were running late at the time too so understandable).

Otherwise not bad.

You know we need more companys like Sandwell Travel, they have clean buses, freindly pleasant drivers and they have money saving fares. Plus they always run on time and help and advice passengers if they need help  :D good work Sandwell travel.

This may make me unpopular, but does anyone else find it slightly curious how all these Sandwell customers seem to have found out about this Forum?

There are several Users who have only ever posted comments in the Sandwell Travel thread. This strikes me as unusual as surely Enthusiasts have opinions about several operators not just Sandwell?

And I find it extremely unlikely that any general members of the public would go to the trouble of finding out, and then registering to use an Enthusiasts Forum just to post a comment.

Also most of the comments seem to have poor spelling and/or grammar and virtually keep repeating the same phrases such as that they "always run on time"...

Would the IP addresses not be different if one person had two accounts, one account being accessed via a standard internet connection & the other via a mobile internet connection?

If you guys are implying that the people posting good things about Sandwell travel are either the owners or in some way linked to Sandwell travel, then just think about what you are saying.
These guys searched for the forum and posted several times or using several accounts from different places (so as to change ip address) just to make believe the company has a loyal following.
Now think again, how ridiculous does that sound.
I have refrained from making comment till now but, it does look like this operator has turned things around, their buses are 90% of the time within tolerance & i have seen several passengers having a conversation with the driver when boarding or alighting, which does suggest they are regulars.
Well done I say & keep it up.
