I believe it's for the 829 Lichfield school service

Sounds sensible.  School movements seem to be dictating a lot of vehicle allocations at the moment everywhere.

So not the bad management implied by others.

They're tracking on the app, but not sure if the app gets the bus location from the ticket machine or GPS.

Itll be interesting to see if Canock start refurbishing vehicles soon. Sone of the Solos, the 58 plate Volvos, many of the 06 plate Commanders, a couple of Darts, are all desperate for a retrim

Unlikely, given the current climate.  You're lucky to still have a service

Dart on the 60A on Friday could barely make it up a hill in Burntwood lol

Empty Dart on the 2 today ( and last week) with no working destination blinds at all and just an unhelpful "2" on a piece of paper on the windscreen. Have TFWM relaxed emissions rules again? Either way it looked pretty poor

The 2 was quite busy a fortnight ago before the schools opened. Seems to have gone quiet now unless its because I don't see them in the day.

Its not hard to make a Solo look busy lol. The X51 gets more passengers I'd say. Still no word about the 1 coming back, a driver on Thursday told me it isnt. Lol
