No wifi on the new buses. Big commercial mistake !!!! Hardly earth shattering, nice when its there but in no way essential. I beleive the buses still have windows, perhaps people could tear themselves away from their phones and enjoy the scenery instead. |

Anything that attracts people onto the bus is good and wifi is one of those things people want these days. Just like videos on National Express coaches back in the eighties :-)

Just like videos on National Express coaches back in the eighties :-) We are losing sight of ourselves here. People get on a bus because its going where they want to go. They do not get on it because it has WiFi. The socially inadequate who are unable to detach themselves from Facebook etc would then end up at places they did not wish to go to in order stay connected if your analysis is correct. |

Saw the Versa's on the 30 today, look smart with their revised 30 branding, also noticed they have a full sized rear blind with number & destination both shown.

In all fairness they will probably be transferred if/when another part of wellglade (TB,N+D) requires some newer vehicles and TM get more ageing Solo's or the 30 gets withdrawn/run by another operator. |
