(08 Jan 2023, 8:57 pm)Ambassador as the former MD is no longer directing his lackeys to engage in this sort of frivolity….it’s unlikely.
Though anyone whose been on a rush hour single deck 21 of late may be tempted to hop out and have a pint /large wine and wait for the next one

(03 Feb 2023, 7:28 pm)Dan Wow! Almost as if the company has undergone a huge restructure in which 100 jobs were ‘at risk’ in the last two months!

(04 Feb 2023, 5:21 am)Dan Lots of work has been done. One would assume with fewer people (I note there has been a few vacancies on the website, Indeed and LinkedIn recently).
The new director team clearly have a different approach to running the business than the previous director team. I would imagine their priority is to get the basics right first, which will be why quality (in all aspects) has been sacrificed.

(04 Feb 2023, 10:33 am)Dan If they were ‘the basics’, this equipment would be mandated and be legally required.
Many operators still don’t offer this facility and until it becomes a regulatory requirement, I don’t think any operator will treat it with such high regard.
My personal opinion is that it is very important and should be mandated, but no doubt operators up and down the country would require financial support to provide this. Not every operator is like Go North East, with over half their fleet fitted as they have continually invested since 2010. Alas, it’s only something Stagecoach has provided since 2019 on their new vehicles (so a very small proportion of their fleet!)

(04 Feb 2023, 5:06 pm)Andreos1 Suppose it depends if they've had funding to roll it out.
If they have, then I'd expect it to be maintained to the high standards expected and not do a half arsed job, failing to update and keep on top of it.

(04 Feb 2023, 5:57 pm)Dan I think Arriva received funding to retrofit next stop announcements to many of their fleet at Darlington and Durham, and their buses for many years went by without being updated to have announcements programmed.I think the X1 was such a route and maybe 1 in 10 times I use it the NSA actually works
