Just seen one in service in Harpurhey, sorry about quality, taken through the window of 17 im on...

It does make me laugh.
There running a service free of charge to promote their new service and yet there's no clear visible mention of it being free. The right signage today could have pulled people onto the service, who could have liked what they saw and made the switch permanently. There was also no mention last night of this free service on their Facebook or website.

They just strike me as very amateurish.

Meh, they were pulling up at every stop I think... true though, they should have advertised properly

Pulling up at every stop and doing what?? Trying to entice folk waiting for another bus onto theirs.
''its free today, but you have to pay tomorrow''

I hate being negative because competition is good for us passengers but their approach has been all wrong. It just looks like at the last minute they have decided to take a bus out and do a few trips for the fun of it.

Very poor in my opinion.

For anyone interested, its been reported elsewhere that Club Class travel have apparently pulled their 'Little Gem' 61 service without any notice.
Its not been seen operating the last couple of days and their website seems to have been taken down.

I know they weren't doing very well and most of the times I saw their buses myself they were always empty but a shame if its true.

If indeed they have simply walked away, I'm sure the Traffic Commisioner will have something to say about it!

That's a shame. I like small companies... but small companies really should start with tenders...
