Pulsars seem to be the main face on Pye Greens with commanders /cadets going on the 70

According to Simon on here theyd upgraded the 70 because "its an interurban route and Pulsars are suited to it"...maybe the increase in frequency has been like pretty much everything else they touch at cannock ( and Wednesfield before), a flop and they cant justify using something thats not old and knackered 😛

Yes I got on one today... they seem so square inside and out?! They seem so much smoother though.

The Arriva 1 / 2 in Walsall always confuses people when it arrives as a 1 or 2 and then leaves as the opposite. It's not difficult to work out that if it says Walsall then it hasn't changed yet. I did see an Arriva 2 drive past me going towards Walsall but it said Cannock on the front & back??? Interesting.

Not confusing if they bother to look at the timetable at the stop then look at their watch. Lol

Obviously the driver didn't change the destination blind them so next stop announcements wouldn't of worked either....

Some of them are incorrect anyway!

A lot don't match the name given on the app and timetable. E.g. 'Wesley Avenue' on the app is 'Clover Ridge' on the screen, and 'Norton Lane' on the app & timetable is 'Brook Lane' on screen. There's also spelling or vocal mistakes like 'Low Streeet', 'Bradstone Avenue' and 'Elmore Road'. It all seems very clumsy and rushed.

Sapphire Streetlite 3305 on the 75/1B/12

BusMan Greg · August 09, 2018, 04:00:45 PM

Yea I'm shocked that it had a programmed blind on the bus for the 75 not just the arriva logo as normal
