Advantages: not usually very busy, clean, the drivers give change too!

Disadvantages: a bit traditional, strong price rises

I've always considered this bus the little granny bus, but it's made a few changes in the past few years and is trying to compete for a more modern image. There are a few benefits but still a few weakenesses of this service...

:) Often an emptier bus!- Bus users will know that an empty bus is a heavenly bus! As in the West Midlands, Travel West Midlands monopolise the buses so these offer a relaxing journey.

:) They give change!- A great bus attribute,we don't always have silver coins on us!

:) Great journeys- These buses hit many great attractions, such as Drayton Mannor Park!

:) No graffiti or vandalism- As these buses are a bit more traditional and less commonly used, there are no crazy people who muck up the bus and leave food/ends everywhere. You may know how vile it is to sit on a bus when someone is illegally smoking at the back.

A few negatives...

:( Quite stuffy buses- not so modern and pretty dim inside!

:( Price rises- These buses used to be a fairly cheap alternative but have created steep price rises very suddenly. Not cool!

Summary: Not a bad service! No problems or warnings to advise you to avoid
