Has the upgrading of the 70 to Pulsar now been abandoned? 2 or 3 of them on pye greens yesterday, poss one on 60 too.  One on the 2 today. Is the solitary 63 plate still at Cannock?

Anybody else noticed the seats on the Sapphire are filthy?? I know regular bus seats aren't clean but its noticeable on the leather-style ones.

Yep. They usually are. And the floors

Two Streets####s operating on routes othwr than Sapphire ( either Pye Greens or 60 at a guess), one has Arriva Midlands on destination display and no route number in the window and the other has no working display at all and nothing in the window so passengers would have to guess where its going??? How crap an allocation is that!!! Presumably non sapphires will be on the Sapphire routes  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

God. We have non Platinum buses on Platinum routes and vice versa all the time too. Get over it

Yes but the Sapphires in Cannock are heavily branded and we only have them for 2 routes so it is confusing, especially if there's no destination on the front.

With NXWM and no route number on the destination blind? Or no working display at all? And basically nothing to indicate what route/where the bus is going? All the time? Do you ?

The X12s are always on other routes, usually the 1. Walsall have a habit of throwing one on the Aldridge's and at weekends it's booked anyway. BC pretty much daily have a platinum on the wrong route as well as several on the 60. Wolverhampton have platinums on the Wombournes every other day as well. Even Perry Barr lately have been letting theirs wander onto the 94... For that matter Tamworth often have a Sapphire Enviro on locals! It really isn't unusual.

No. But you know what route theyre operating on!

[Bob]

And moreover those NX garages have more than one platinum route generally. Cannock has 2 routes which are interworked. With 8 vehicles for them. Its just s**t allocating if they cant even manage that!

Completely irrelevant to the point I was making.

PN and AG only have one, and Wolves only have 2, the same as Cannock...

P.S. the edit button exists for a reason.

Bob's point is if you need to use them on other routes occasionally, like NX do with their platinums, surely they should have the other routes put into the destination displays.

Running them around with people not knowing which route they are on is far more important than the fact they are branded for another route
