Currently delayed on 120 due to dispute regarding Sandwell & Dudley App not being valid in Birmingham! Including conversation with Inspector via radio who wasn't sure where boundary was! Chap paid the difference and said he would get taxi next time!
I sympathise with driver who has to put up with this nonsense not helped by a bus that has labels that say "Sale" but not showing a map where product is valid.

Problem is, if people like the drivers and Inspectors aren't sure of the boundary, then how are the passengers supposed to be.

Having a fare zone inside a much bigger zone will always create problems unless somebody actually goes to the trouble of looking at every route that crosses the boundary and produces a list of the final/first stops that the ticket is valid from.

[Trident 4194]

At least 3 crimson tridents on 9. 4435 is one I'm having the privilege of

Make it at least 4 tridents on the 9 with few streetdecks too. Must be some mmcs of road or lots on other seevices

Cut off on the 120 is the same place as the black country pass. The drivers do know and the ticket can't be issued beyond this point

PN garage *may* be about to receive an unusual visitor. A Stagecoach Megabus triaxle coach has just gone through the main entrance hooked up to an RS recovery tow truck

Can't think where else it might be heading this time of night....

I googled it and it says Hartshores LTD commercial vehicles and it's based in Pensnett Trading Estate

[Westy]

There's me thinking Hartshornes were only by Junction 10.

(In fact, I could be wrong, as it's been some time since I've been over there, I think Hartshornes have a satellite facility on Long Acres Willenhall, but it's to look after our truck fleet! )
