Pensnett Garage

[Wumpty]

Yes Ford transit A599 is the new staffbus. Should be out by Friday hopefully.

Is this just a PN thing or will each garage be allocated a similar vehicle?

Oldbury canteen arrangements  has been right old farce, disagreements with landlord and management over contracts, i doubt it will ever happen but a minibus would be useful between depot/ wbbs canteen and oldbury

Tbf cannot see anything happening they don't care about Oldbury rota and never turn them but they turn the 89s all the time and when 87 is 45 minutes late they don't turn ya but a minibus parked up would be alright

I don't understand what you mean - some punctuation may be useful.

For a change I actually agree with you, it's the same with the X1's that could be running up to 30 mins late and don't turn them, 17's yesterday afternoon were up to 30+ mins late, four of them running together and not one got turned round. And yet that's why passengers have anger because of the lateness when buses could been turned round.

If a driver is due relief, you can't turn him short

i do understand what your saying up at WBBS services get regulated by the inspectors on site, here in Oldbury we are pretty much forgotten about, drivers who come to do overtime from WB rotas say its a joke you guys just keep going on regardless, only times regulation is used RTA breaks, break downs. i do see a lot of 89E short journeys, then we 82/87 drivers get grief from folks waiting at Colmore row, i advise get on any bus going to Cape hill and see what turns up, many 89 short journeys turn around Grove Lane. I personally don't care if i am running late i just claim the overtime.

sorry its off topic

There not going no where all quiet on that front, WB adding an extra bus on  the 12 on Sunday timetable from November to improve reliabilty 2hrs 30 round trip, currently 4 buses an hour,  should help over the festive period

Hopefully they stay at WB. I worry that Pensnett don't have enough deckers for the routes, last time PE took over the routes, B7RLEs were the main allocation, and these routes can get extremely busy

Will the 12 interwork with anything on Sundays following this change?
