  • West Midlands Weekly Economic Impact Monitor Issue 24 Publication Date 03/09/20
    West Midlands Weekly Economic Impact Monitor Issue 24 Publication Date 03/09/20 This monitor aims to pull together information across regional partners to understand the impacts of Covid19 on the economy. Where possible it will utilise all forms of quantitative and qualitative intelligence. However we urge caution in the use of the contents as this is an emerging situation. This week This week we focus on the dilemma of returning to the office and the impact on cities. Most commentators highlight that homeworking is a trend here to stay, at least in the medium term. Cities will need to adapt their offer and opportunity to attract people and businesses back. It is worth noting that as places open up and people become more mobile, responding to positive coronavirus cases takes longer as the number of contacts are increased. Outbreaks are commonly linked with workplaces but more general outbreaks could be linked to transport infrastructure, taxis and car sharing and the general opening up of the economy/society. Main points are: • Europe has seen a resurgence in infection rates. The United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy all had just 15 or less per million; however even those low numbers are higher than what was seen earlier in the summer • Open Table data shows the ‘eat out to help out’ policy and the August Bank holiday impact with a rise of 216% on the 31st August, and most other offer days a rise of around 50% in diners. • Mobility across Europe remains significantly below previous years, which large variation. France, Germany, Italy and Spain all remain relatively low, but the UK is growing around retail centres.

  • 2021 Book News Welcome to Our 2021 Book News
    2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020.

This coincides with the 50th edition of the map, published today with an October date to reflect the start of Lumo operations. I am very grateful for their support – not least in that First Bus (www.firstgroupplc.com/about- firstgroup/uk-bus.aspx) is already a sponsor of this website. JULY 01 2021 – THE FIRST 2021 WELSH AUTHORITY TIMETABLE Whilst a number of authorities in SW England have produced excellent summer timetable books – indeed some produced them throughout the pandemic – for a country that relies heavily on tourism Wales is doing an utterly pathetic job, with most of the areas that used to have good books simply saying they don’t expect to publish anything until the autumn or the winter – or, indeed that they have no idea when they’ll re-start (see the entries in Welsh Counties section).

  • Buses Scrapped, Or Sold for Scrap AEC Regent II
    Buses scrapped, or sold for scrap This is our list of buses that have been scrapped, sold for scrap, or are thought to no longer exist. These buses can be considered to fall into two categories. Buses scrapped In most cases, these buses will have been sold to a vehicle dismantler or scrap dealer, where they would be stripped of any useful parts and the remains cut up, so that the vehicle no longer exists. In some cases the dismantling or cutting up has been done by the bus owner and the remains sold to a scrap dealer. Buses sold for scrap When buses are sold for scrap, it is probably the intention of the seller that the vehicle should be dismantled. Many of our records are conclusive, in that we record that the buses no longer exist. However, other buses are shown as ‘scrapped’, but it is possible that while we believe they were sold for dismantling, the physical destruction process may not yet have happened, and the buses may still exist on the dealer’s premises in either complete form or in a delapitated condition. We will update the records on this list in due course to identify any buses that we thought had been destroyed that perhaps do still exist in ‘sold for scrap’ condition. The buses are grouped into ‘Chassis Make’ lists, in registration/licence plate order. As always, if you can update or correct anything on this list, please contact us. Please note that there may be some conflicts with buses listed on the ‘To Check’ page, where this page has been updated and the To Check page has still to be updated.
