They cant make decisions on services like NX or Megabus used to do.NX can solve problems.Megabus you could get a replacement coaches from London operators.Flix are just customer assistants
Thats one thing they do need to sort out especially at Victoria Coach Station.They should be someone sorting the problems. Leaving passengers stranded is a no for me .
You are more worried about looks.Polo shirts are easy to maintain .Tie is only good when working on coaches due to having air con.On service buses you will suffocate in a shirt and tie
Even the municipals are buying from abroad.Why should the residents be held to ransom paying over the odds for things you can get somewhere.What happened to British Leyland
Could just be a bad batch .National Express have ADL electrics on on the X1 they are coping well even on the Birmingham to Coventry route with sections at national speed limit
Now that you have mentioned it i have always wondered about the long term NX partners.Contractors stay for years and the big 3 on the NX network Edwards ,Go Ahead and Selwyn must be making a few pounds
But those you have mentioned actually run their own coaches.Flixbus dont run any coach.Dont know who will be the o licence holder if Whippets leave the network
There was meant to be a Hydrogen facility at Walsall depot .With the depot surrounded by houses planning permission was refused.Birmingham Central is next to a railway line and due for closure the other garages dont want them .Walsall are stuck with them
I have been working on the busses for ages .Around 10 years ago i could cash over a £1000 pounds on a Monday morning shift .3 weeks ago i did agency work same depot i only took 50 pounds most of my sales were card payments .
Its a trial .Dont see what the fuss is about.Cape Town My Citi in South Africa is also cashless .Why are people afraid of change.Everyone probably has a bank card these days .
