    Pacer liveries

    A shame that more units didn't get the Northern Spirit livery. Easily the best looking 142s in the land. The 156s carried it for quite a while too!

    Pacer liveries

    Absolutely second that. Northern by far the worst of the lot. Dull, unimaginitive, finance committee-led drivel.

    Pacer liveries

    Nothing says '1999' like GMPTE grey!

    Pacer liveries

    Hi guys, This was covered on a previously-locked thread, but in light of the new article over on Transport Designed - which is your favourite livery ever worn by a Pacer? Has to be Northern Spirit for me. Loved North Western Trains, too, but for some reason it always cheapened the look when...

    New Transdev Cityzap services registered (and now cancelled)

    Small timing change to avoid stand clashes at Chorlton Street, at the request of TfGM.

    Competition heats up between Transdev and Connexions

    That's funny Tommy, a few months back on this very thread you were arguing you'd never seen more than '2 or 3 people' on it. Great to see growth by your estimations! I'll repeat my earlier statement. I use Cityzap regularly, and every time I've travelled, without fail, there's hardly been a...

    Bus drivers, whats the funniest thing a passenger has expected you to do?

    On a slight reversal of the theme, I was once the only passenger on a Mayne's 171 in Manchester when the driver stopped outside a newsagents on Ryder Brow. He leant around his cab, and asked if I would nip into the shop with a pound and buy him a Mars Bar! I don't know what possessed me, but I...

    Competition heats up between Transdev and Connexions

    2 or 3 people per journey? It's been packed every single time I've been on it. Travelled today, almost a standing load heading out to York and full upstairs on the way back. And not just concessions, either. Cityzap has never been marketed as the 'premium' service - it's the 'fast' service - and...

    Snowdonia Travel "acquired' by Cityfox

    Indeed. Let him have his little moment! It's been covered in previous posts on this thread.

    Snowdonia Travel "acquired' by Cityfox

    Well, yes, but I wouldn't have called it a 'spat'. More, myself questioning some of the failings of what is fundamentally a misleading advertising campaign (at best), and Mr Hand throwing his toys out of the pram when questioned about it.

    Snowdonia Travel "acquired' by Cityfox

    Snowdonia Travel "acquired' by Cityfox

    Evening all. Long time lurker here, first time poster. I can confirm that I too gave Plymouth Taxis a call this evening, purely out of academic interest because I find this whole thing very strange. And guess what? They've heard of Cityfox, because they've had several phone calls this evening...
