I've had a Diamond driver who wanted me to scan my Banga nBus ticket, even though there was no barcode!

Same thing happened again today.

It's a shame Simon seems to be busy elsewhere/ frightened off from here by certain other posters it appears from reading other posts elsewhere, else I'd moan more!

Had the pleasure of 2408 on the 70 today. The driver was a rude cow i asked if it was half hourly again and she said yes and during journey checked and it said hourly and so naturally i double checked with her to be told "oh i dont know i dont catch them!" She pulled a face at someone not having their face mask fully over their nose. Im sorry but this bus was FILTHY. the seats were threadbare dirty and smelly. The floor was dirty as were the ceiling panels. Id be more worried about catching something from the vehicle! If it represents what Cannock depot class as acceptable then Gold help em!

Morale appears to be really rock bottom again, based on that last post.

You get the feeling with Simon going & there's probably lots of other little things you hear on the grapevine, that there is something happening, but for 'legal reasons', nothing can be confirmed.

Regarding 'little things' you hear, has anyone heard of 'Go Buses', because unless they trade as someone we know, there's one driver from another company talking out of their backside?

Unless they mean "Let's Go!" which operate those fine service 11s to Underhill. Every one I saw on Friday morning was empty leaving Wolverhampton or empty entering Wolverhampton.

And I thought Simon had just stopped posting here, not left overall. Has he left Arriva?

Sorry I'll rephase that. 'Left the forum', unless there's something we're not aware of?

Or Go Ahead?
As sure they use the word Go - Go Cornwall Bus, Go North East, etc.

Well they seem to be loading the depot with the worst buses in the worst states

I am guessing it is to provide extra capacity on a school journey
