RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - S830OFT - 19 Jul 2019 What's happening with service X8 now then? RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - SnarledComic1 - 19 Jul 2019 (19 Jul 2019, 7:21 pm)S830OFT What's happening with service X8 now then? Should be taken over by another operator I imagine. Another independent if not the council if I had to make a guess. RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - omnicity4659 - 19 Jul 2019 Or nobody? Not all commercial routes get replaced. RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - S830OFT - 19 Jul 2019 (19 Jul 2019, 9:48 pm)omnicity4659 Or nobody? Not all commercial routes get replaced. The Stillington to Stockton section is contracted I believe, as it used to operate as service 84... RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jimmi - 19 Jul 2019 (19 Jul 2019, 9:56 pm)S830OFTFull route was operated on a commercial basis, services to/from Stillington haven't been contracted since April 2014 when the council pulled the plug on all subsidised routes (was Arriva service 6 up until that point) RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Adrian - 20 Jul 2019 (19 Jul 2019, 5:38 pm)SnarledComic1 How come? What about the re-brand? RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - SnarledComic1 - 20 Jul 2019 (20 Jul 2019, 7:54 am)Adrian Just had a bit of a feeling that something could have been going on internally hence they rebranded as Bus4 RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - makem1 - 20 Jul 2019 Even the rebrand was half hearted, they painted some buses but never branded them.

You never know what goes on behind the scenes. If the resources dry up, then it doesn't matter how much effort the staff put into something - the money is not there.

RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - SnarledComic1 - 22 Jul 2019 From what I've heard they may have only let some drivers go with a few staying on. Seems like they're just trying to slim the company down to a point where it can't operate. I expect a few more twists to this saga.

Seems like they're just trying to slim the company down to a point where it can't operate. I expect a few more twists to this saga. I've heard a few various rumours and like most things, I take them with a pinch of salt. However if cash flow is tight and school contracts have came to an end for the summer, then I can see why a surplus of staff may have been trimmed. Whether I agree with that sort of strategy is another matter. Regardless, it is a shame that a company who looked to be on the up and demonstrated some ambition, have hit some sort of buffer. |
