    Life after the end of "lockdown" 2.0

    I cant say I'm surprised at all with my area (Birmingham) being placed into tier 3. The numbers were rising when we were in Tier 2 prior to the lockdown and they haven't dropped below 300. Ive seen some areas in the city its at 600+ per 100,000. Its going to be a long winter and I genuinely...

    TRIVIA: Bus routes in the UK serving at least 3 or more counties

    Johnson's Excelbus do a Sunday Only service from Birmingham to Chipping Norton ( the X50). So that's West Midlands, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. Think it passes close to Gloucestershire aswell. Arriva service 65 that runs between Tamworth and Nuneaton technically serves 3 counties...

    What are your observations of face coverings wearing on public transport?

    I would say in the West Midlands the compliance has been pretty poor on buses. My mom and sister have used the buses this week for work and say compliance is no more than 50 per cent. I used the bus on Saturday and on the journey leaving Birmingham a group of NINE youths got on and not a single...

    Nat Express West Midlands

    I agree with you about NXWM, I use the bus all the time despite having a car as I just love the Platinum buses. They have invested so much in upgrading many routes to Platinum and not really bumped the prices up greatly. You could technically go from Stafford to Leamington Spa ( via Wolves...

    Inspectors on Buses

    I still see them when im going into Birmingham on Newtown Row at the Price street stop. Its a lot less regular now which is a shame as I feel there needs to be more. If you buy a ticket on the app, you dont have to scan it when you board (unlike Arriva), you just show the screen to the driver...

    London Midland unit fire 26/11/15

    Judging by LM's twitter the last few days, it seems many tweeters irate about the lack of carriages on peak services, obviously so oblivious to what happened last week:roll:. So the last thing LM needed on wed was to terminate the 16:08 Dorridge to Kidderminster service at Snow Hill with an...
