West Midlands Bus Operations - Andreos1 - 12 Jun 2013

News, debate and discussion on West Midlands' Bus Operations.

Has anyone seen this? Www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-22842990
Bargain at £1.80 too! Wonder how much GNE would charge and how many zones they would squeeze into the route? Wink

The 638 must have pushed close to this 31 mile European record mind!

RE: West Midlands Bus Operations - omnicity4659 - 14 Jul 2018

Hinckleybus are to integrate with the main Arriva brand.

"Hinckleybus is part of the Arriva family and we’ll slowly be adopting the main Arriva brand throughout 2018. We're going to be changing the colour of the buses, and you may have already noticed the changes to printed timetables which are turning blue!

Don't worry though, we're still your friendly local bus company offering a network of local bus services in Hinckley & Nuneaton and as well as interurban routes across parts of Leicestershire and Warwickshire.

Tickets are staying the same, with our great value saver tickets valid on all Arriva and Hinckleybus services."
