The Window Of Opportunity | City Bus Manager | Episode 22

Hello everybody and welcome back to City Bus Manager!
It's time to take our weekly visit to Western Cheshire where today we're going to be having a look at how we can get some more profitable routes going, as well as connecting our current network to the recently discovered Runcorn!
We'll be having a look at some of the awkward roads around Runcorn and seeing if we can have a frequent route (yet not so frequent that we have no buses to run it). Maybe there's some towns and villages along the way with plenty of housing?

Joe! You have a 2 X1s and a route called S! 🤣

[@soj_89]

Hey Joe, you set the Sunday Timetable on the 115 for everyday, you might want to change that. You also have two X1s and a route called S. Well done. Great video as always though!

[@soj_89]

Oops, sorry you sorted the timetable issue

[@JosephTW67_]

12:44 watching joe’s money plummeting got me!

[@32446]

Nice one Joe! I got Ex London Scania swimming

[@roadandrailstudios5216]

You could built extra depots, so that buses wouldn't have to travel far.

[@PsychicLord]

Perhaps he is getting a 'back hander' from the petrol company.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

We could buy some more depots particularly around the Runcorn area!

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

You now need route branding for your e400s He he, more livery work for ya!

[@thomas-jamesbailey8134]

Hi Joe, two things, 1st, you need to Change the X1 to Runcorn to the X2 as you already have an X1 that goes to Crewe, 2nd, why don’t you add your own buses to the heritage fleet, if you can you B10 in CBM that is?

[@OTG9.3]

It’s his choice but yes he does need to change one to x2

[@annorton5825]

My best advice it's see what buses can be what routes can be less frequent if you can be less frequent with like higher capacity that's fine or less frequent and just the same go Deckers as it can stay the same just check see if you have too much capacity two little are you making it too frequent order half an hour check the time and see if it looks really good and actually goes up to our standards now to check through your old bus routes and see how it is😊😊😊

ENVIRO 400 :D

[@charliewilliams7860]

I think you should try out the external depots for runcorn routes also i think you should take the deckers off the X1 due to low demand and use the deckers on the 115. The solos from the 115 can then run the X1. Much better plan of action i think

[@djrnusjdjd]

s is 109

[@markcrellin5550]

Great video, can't believe how ruthless you are. Sacking someone while they are taking a dump. 😂😂, you heartless monster. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MatthewBluefox]

I've been on the X12 from Purrmingham to Solihull once, very lovely area. :) By the way, is it still not possible to select a custom color for routes from a color circle?

[@goose2021]

Hey Joe, I have an idea that you make an RR because it seems there is alot of tracks.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Ahhhh yeah a rail replacement service is a great idea! I’ll have to bare that in mind Rachel! 😄

[@AJSAN1971]

Next time I need to sack a member of staff I shall wait until they go for a poo and lob their P45 over the cubicle door. It's the way forward.

[@dannycohen8870]

Rogerolla by mistake Joe!

[@thornina3409]

S is your old 109

[@annorton5825]

Also you were truckers back John just giving your heads up cause it's fixed the Mods now you can play it please play it😊😊

[@annorton5825]

I have a issue the 115 I feel like I should be every 30 minutes or every 60 with double deckers to have two Double Deckers on it or every 30 with one double decker under one more frequently and it'll run a little bit more smoother on the 115 I think it's the 115 the brand new route what your plums straight in on the first couple of minutes😊😊

[@scottdavies1278]

Why not build a new depot near runcorn, also you seem to be getting worse with your timing's, first buses should be 5am and last departures 11pm think of those that have work 😂😂😂😂

[@nielsleenknegt5839]

But with the 3 hour route that first bus wil only start its return journey around 6.30. also that last departure is ending at 2am. i know my local ish route is getting evening route till 2.30am on certain days and bus drivers are litteraly changing jobs afters 10 to 20 years because of it. (and the whole reshuffeling)

[@JoeDobsongaming]

A depot at Runcorn would be beneficial I think, some of the timings on the longer routes finish earlier because of the sheer length of time it takes to do a round trip 😄
