ATG, igo and Ring & Ride

Hopefully NXWM have got the 10 back, was just a good route back in the day and much quicker than the 103 (24) into town. It seems to mostly carry fresh air these days, unlike when I regularly caught it where buses were full in the peaks. Clearly not financially viable anymore, but I do think matters could be improved by extending it from Quinton to Northfield via West Boulevard and Barnes Hill. This would in someway also replace the 29 route and give Barnes Hill a direct route to Town. Maximum 15 mins trip from Quinton to Northfield so would only need 1 extra bus on a 30 min frequency, surely worth a short term risk to see if it could work.

Hopefully some of these contracts which have seen patronage fall off a cliff over recent years will now benefit from the advantage that passengers can use Travelcard and contactless payments

Primo on 10H yesterday and today

Well yes NX will be operating the 10H from Monday. The nominated vehicles are the 41xx tridents, but of course Trident4194 doesn't like 41xx does he!

Note although the 41xx are the nominated vehicle any trident will turn up

Just the 10H then, or does that include the 10 and 10S too at all?

NX will operate all three, but the 10S cannot have tridents on

What vehicles coming down from where?

[mesub]

I presume BC will be operating them?

[Trident 4194]

I thought you put in another thread that the bc tridents will see regular workings until the replacement vehicles come down? Or does this not apply to the 10H/10S?  What are you using on the 10S?

No, they are short term contracts and The tridents are the planned vehicles for the length of the contract
