It is indeed out in service

Your journey will have gained you 100% delay repay so you’d have got it refunded anyway. Should have paid it and then delay repay it back. Now you’re under investigation instead which could lead to a conviction if you don’t cooperate.

Stagecoach Plymouth have sent theirs out on the 1A and 2 in recent weeks to cover breakdowns. Wasn’t the right weather on any of the occasions.

I guess they’ve decided it’s not open top weather? We’ve basically had endless wet weather. Not really open top weather

I had this issue on Southern vectis, I scanned my QR code and it tapped me on with my Apple Pay at the same time. No it doesn’t if you have express travel mode activated. I have it deactivated since it tapped me on as mentioned above. Image attached showing the setting in the wallet & Apple Pay...

As a driver that’s worked for operators using ticketer and vix machines, the stagecoach vix machines are far more user friendly, and I’ve never had to do a reset of the machine. Ticketer was needing a reset several times a week, touch screen calibration was often hit or miss and could only be...

The lack was in the middle layer, in particular the traffic office. The commercial director and most of the drivers had great passion and enthusiasm. The bits in the middle layer didnt seem to support. We always felt an inconvenience as drivers being outstationed so far from the rest of the...

And when drivers tried to shout about Dartmoor we could got called in and told not to. Between the lines I got the impression it was making the marketing team look bad. I was booked to drive on the Saturday, I shouted about the route on local Facebook community groups on a Thursday and Friday in...

Used a ex stagecoach alx400 trident on rail replacement at the weekend. Looks very smart in photos I seen online a few days ago. On companies house it shows Martijn Gilbert was the previous sole director of the company.

My parents m purchased a high spec MG 2 years ago, it’s a lot of car for the money, with a long warranty and a lot of toys. It was cheaper than a low spec similar sized Dacia. Its had no need for any warrant work. I’d have turned my nose up at a Chinese MG until they made this purchase. It fits...

I went to Budapest in 2022, lots of interesting stuff to spot there. I went to Barcelona last year and it was nearly all very modern stuff, too new for my liking. I also went to Milan last year and don’t recall much of interest although the city is predominantly trams. Noted some interesting...

Think that was a Brian Souter preference when he was in charge. Stuff since he left has badges

The simple answer is it depends on the vehicles certification. Nothing to do with express route or not

Stagecoach Twitter is run nationally from I believe Scotland for each operation

It’s not just down to individual trip length, but daily mileage of each vehicle diagram. The vehicle workings in a Plymouth are high mileage and intense compared to elsewhere. 15802 for example which was recently transferred to Plymouth has half the mileage compared to newer buses that have been...

We’ve been told at stagecoach in Plymouth by our MD most of our routes are too long or too rural to suit any current electric offering whilst at the same time being viable, so will receive newer diesels released by EVs being introduced elsewhere. I imagine the same challenges would apply to...

Last Sunday is irrelevant. When they’ve been on strike previously on a Saturday there had been widespread cancellations, almost to a non existent high speed service on Sunday after strike. The strikers see it as an opportunity for a weekend off with their families etc especially when the...

I’m wondering if the N has been dropped? In the summer the gap from 2/3am until 0528 will likely be plugged again as per previous summers. The 0455 Gold from Plymouth to Paignton is a funny one, some days it can carry good numbers, others the driver has to himself. The same days on different...

I think you’ll have more chance of successfully travelling on strike day than the Sunday morning after from past experience, If you’d consider national express, Flixbus or megabus I’d recommend doing so
