Welcome and thank you for joining The Generic Group!

We are proud to announce that our main storage company, Generic Storage and Sales has reached 3000 buses. Our 3000th bus (37758, GBSS 3000) will be preserved under the Generic Preservation Group company. The number of buses may change, and we are also planning to do a sale of Ex-London (Stagecoach Lea Interchange) Streetlites later on in the day. Keep a look out for that! 👀
I may not be available for a little while as I am filming a new video for my YT channel, but I will reply to as many new comments as possible while I am out.
Bye for now!

Hi the generic player, I would like to purchase some of your Transdev vehicles if possible! From The padiham bus company!

Sure! I will sell the 3 LU VRs if your willing to buy. Is 3 an ok time?

What is a LU VR? I don’t know if this is allowed but if so can I send you a DM on discord if I put a message in general saying it’s me?

Sure

My user in the server is Generic

reeses puffs dont eat em up

Valley Ranger has also joined The Generic Group!

We welcome your companies into the group!

A quick notice about my Stagecoach London company:
I am currently working on revising timetables for multiple routes. Routes which I am definitely revising include: 8, N8, 26, N26 and may include 25, N25 depending on the data from bustimes.org.

REVISED TIMETABLES ARE OUT! 26, N26, 25 AND N25 PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED BUT ARE NOT CHANGED. CHANGES INCLUDE 8, N8, 173, W11, W12, W13, 616, 602, AND A FEW OTHERS.

Sorry guys, as im busy sorting out Stagecoach no Streetlite sale tonight. Rescheduled to tmrw.

47, 53 & 309 have been finished!

N53 has been finished!

Stagecoach London - 215 has been added

All updates will only be posted to the company from now on so I don't flood here with company updates. Check Stagecoach London (GG) for updates. I will update this forum when I start work on Metroline Travel (GG).

The SCLN Streetlites have been sold!

STAGECOACH LONDON NOTICE:
Dunno wtf is going on, but loads of non London routes appeared overnight. I am working to delete these.

I have deleted all the excess routes, my best guess is that they are from a company who were in my group (Stagecoach Group, yes I own that one), and when they deleted their company their vehicles and routes moved to my Stagecoach company, which previously was the "owner" company of the group. I will work on moving all vehicles to Generic Storage & Sales. If anyone wants a sale, let me know.

which are Wright GB Kite Electroliners i see on route e7

Should we standardize fleet numbers so that it's more organized?

I propose the following:
London vehicles that are based in real life get their real life numbers.
Provincial operators use the following system:
Minibuses (Mellow, EVM, Ilesbus, etc.): 11xxx
Small buses (Optare Solo, Solo SR): 12xxx
Small buses (Dennis Dart, E200, E200MMC): 13xxx-14xxx
Small buses (Volvo, MCV, etc.): 15xxx
Full sized buses (Volvo, Scania, DAF, etc.): 40xxx-42xxx
Full sized buses (ADL): 43xxx
Double decker buses (Volvo, Scania, Wright, DAF, etc.): 60xxx-62xxx
Double decker buses (ADL): 63xxx
Coaches 2-axle: 70xxx-72xxx
Coaches 3-axle: 73xxx
Bendy buses: 74xxx
Support vehicles (supervisor cars, wreckers, vans): 10xxx

Yeah, I'm planning to organize them, but as of now I'm still working on irl companies.

i made a new company focusing on london electric buses and i added you as a helper, thegenericplayer, see here
https://v2.mybustimes.cc/operator/London%20Electric%20Buses%20(GG)/
feel free to add routes and buses
if i see a mistake in the reg plate and the fleet number and wrong type and wrong garage, i will edit it
it's part of the generic group

McLeod's Buses have sold all of its vehicles in its fleet. New management is restructuring business.

I have completed the whole of the UNO buses fleet, surprisingly 106 vehicles didn't take me that long 🤣

Timetables are currently not importing, as a result I am working on adding more vehicles to my companies. Sorry for the loss of work during this time, but I will add as many vehicles as i can.

I am going to test if timetables are working yet.

add transport uk wright gb kite electroliners 1701-1737 to London Electric Buses (GG)
add routes sl5, 143, 268 and 319 to London Electric Buses (GG)

i added 1701-1712

I am currently adding a few vehicles to my London companies as importing timetables is currently broken and is being fixed, so as a result is disabled.
I will get working on routes again after this is finished, the routes that are awaiting timetables currently are:
Stagecoach's 96 (Woolwich - Bluewater)
&
UNO's X10 (Hatfield - Luton LIMITED STOP)
Sorry for not working on any new routes but I don't want to fill my backlog up and then have to add like a million timetables at once
Generic out! ^_^

As of now, I have added multiple vehicles to:
Stagecoach London
First Bus London
Docklands Buses
UNO
and Arriva London.
As of now, the only companies fleets I have completed are:
Docklands Buses
and UNO.
Be sure to look out for more updates later today 🏗️

do metroline

add route sl5 to arriva

RQ - route 268 for metroline (gg) and london electric buses (gg)

add wsel3129-3138 metroline

!NOTICE!
I am removing depot lists from all my real life recreations as:
A. It is difficult to find the depot of every company, although this doesn't really apply to London, but I don't want one company to have depots and another doesn't, and...
B. Notably Stagecoaches joint allocation of the 86 between Lea Interchange / Romford is basically unable to be done as I would have to put both garages in, but then those vehicle also do other routes at Romford (e.g 247).
Finally...
C. bustimes.org, which I use to create my fleets, does not show garages, so I have to put every vehicle in every garage myself, which is sometimes difficult.
This will not affect any services
Thanks for reading my yap!
Generic out! ^_^

ADDITIONAL INFO THE ABOVE MESSAGE
This will not affect any of my fictional companies (GBSS, TGPG, GTLO)

sometimes its easy via official london buses wiki's current operator pages

Starting to add Stagecoach BZL DDs
Generic out! ^_^

Hello all! Early morning update:
Added all of Blue Triangles E's
Generic out! ^_^

!NOTICE!
You may notice minor name changes for our companies.
Specifically, the addition of an extra set of letters at the end of our watermark e.g Stagecoach London (GG - RLR).
These different word codes stand for which type of company they are!
Definitions are:
RLR - Real Life Recreation
RLC - Real Life Custom
F - Fictional
MF - Model Fleet
VC - Virtual Company
IG - In Game Operator
This is just to clear up any confusion. I am not 100% sure what the difference is between Fictional and Virtual Company so I will be sticking to Virtual Company for my Generic Transport series and any other companies I make.
Thanks for reading that mouthful!
Generic out! ^_^

Route 491 (Waltham Cross - North Middlesex Hospital) has been rewarded to Generic Transport - London & will move within the coming days, there will be little to no changes with the timetable.
(this will depend on when timetables are back up if they are not back up the route will be delayed).
The route will run on existing 9.7m ADL E200MMCs and existing 9.6M ADL E200s.
So far 4 E200MMCs (11065 - 11068) have arrived at Brimsdown depot and are going to start route learning shortly

11069 (GBSS 3000) has arrived at Brimsdown depot for the 491. This bus was in commemoration for GBSS reaching it's 3000th bus.

i wish i could join the group mbut my companies are alr in a group, is it fine if i put gg - whatever it is

Yeah that's fine, you don't need to ask for permission in future

𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎
10921 and 10922, both 9.6m YX12 E200s, have arrived at Brimsdown in preparation for future service on the 491. This brings the total amount of buses at Brimsdown to 2 E200s and 5 E200MMCs. As the PVR of the 491 is 9, we are expecting 3 more E200s and 2 more E200MMCs to arrive in the coming days.
Generic out! ^_^

RQ: create a company called first london (1995-2013) (gg - rlr) and check first london fleet list

my favorite thing of first london is centrewest uxbridge and greenford and alperton garages

but first re-add me as a helper for these operators:

Metroline Travel‎ (GG - RLC)

Transport UK (GG - RLR)

and add my permissions to add buses, add routes, edit buses and edit routes

before you create first london (1995-2013) (gg - rlr)

add my permissions as a helper for these operators:

Metroline Travel‎ (GG - RLC)

Transport UK (GG - RLR)

my permissions are to add buses, add routes, edit buses and edit routes

when you create a helper and you add permissions the permissions wont show up and if you do it again it will work

Just quickly, I don't really wanna add any helpers to my companies atm as:
A. They are projects I like to work on, yeah it's time consuming but it makes it feel more worth it
and
B. I'm a bit worried about the risk of someone adding nonsense routes or buses, or just deleting buses I've already added.
I hope you understand, if not we can come to an agreement.
For the company idea, I will keep it in mind as I am planning to do a few older companies like Tower Transit, Transdev and First.

Our new subsidary, Generic Transport - Hertfordshire, Essex and Barnet has won a new route, the 88, running between Chingford and Potters Bar.
Buses will not operate on Sundays and only operate up to Waltham Cross Bus Stn. on Saturdays.
The frequency is every 30 minutes (Mon-Fri) and every 40 minutes (Sat)
Generic Transport management is very happy about this, and it will be operated from Potters Bar bus garage.

The allocation is still unknown, but is most likely single deckers due to low hanging trees.

first do first london
then tower transit
then transdev

I'll do it in whatever order I feel like.

𝑹𝑬𝑪𝑬𝑵𝑻 𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑳𝑶𝑮:
- The 88 has been renumbered to the 19.
- 6 YY25 Optare Solo SRs (8800 - 8805) have arrived for the 19.
- We at Generic Transport are hopefully gaining new routes soon, with new tenders and talks with Hertfordshire County Council for the chance to gain existing or new routes.

you feel like first london?

I've not even started yet so

Our first livery is here under the name GG - Red 1 (this is jut a recolour as i am not the best at making liveries but hopefully i will get better and make some new ones)

2 new recolors, check em out 😎😉

4 ADL Enviro400MMCs (24763 - 24766) have arrived for our new upcoming route, the 19ᴅ, which will run between Potters Bar and Waltham Cross via Gordon Hill, Carterhatch and Enfield Highway.

Just finishing up the 19D atm, it will begin services as of Monday 4th of August.

Notice:
The Generic Group is the owner of the following groups:
comfortdelgro
Stagecoach Group
Go Ahead Group
Arriva UK Bus

Making a small "What if" or hypothetical company, which would operate new (and old/existing (im looking at you 969) mobility routes around London.

906 on the mobility company is now fully ready! First services on Tuesday, buses arriving today. As it is separate from the Generic Transport saga, it will have different fleet numbs.

905 is now being mapped out and timetable will be done soon.
This route used to be the old 385, introduced after the 505 was partly withdrawn, so the 905 came to cover it, but only serviced on Thursdays (Market days in Walthamstow). Hence, due to the unpopularity, it ended up being replaced by route 385 now on contract to Stagecoach London, and remains one of the quietest routes in all of London.
This route has been rerouted to serve via the old 900 mobility route, but instead also serving the W11's Hail & Ride section around Priory Court, before going into the Sainsbury's, then Hall Estate, then following the 900 (as close as I could reasonably guess) the rest of the way to Waltham Way, via Yardley Lane looping around the houses twice.
As a result of the 905 now serving these areas, the 900 will be interlinked with the 905 meaning that the 900 will arrive first and then drop passengers off who require to get the 905 up to Priory Court, Hall Estate, Chingford Station or Yardley Lane. Alternatives include:
Priory Court / Hall Estate - Stagecoach London Route W11 (Walthamstow - Chingford Hall Estate)
Yardley Lane - Stagecoach London Route 215 (Walthamstow - Lee Valley Campsite) or 379 (Chingford Station - Yardley Lane Estate)
Chingford Station - 97 (Stratford City - Chingford Station), 379 (Chingford Station - Yardley Lane Estate), 385 (Crooked Billet, Sainsbury's - Chingford Station) or 444 (Turnpike Lane - Chingford Station via Chingford Mount)

In other news, a new bus has joined the mobility fleet! We are proud to give SN05 DZU (old F/N 42, renumbered to 440) a new home at The London Mobility Bus Companies Walthamstow Ave. depot! We have repainted it in our Green Gradient livery, the first bus in the livery. Be sure to check it out!

FLEET NEWS
## Generic Transport - Herts, Essex & North and East London
- Rumours speculate that GT is adding 2 new double deckers to their fleet, although these are TBC and is not final.
- The 19D's timetable is almost finished, sorry I forgot to complete it :sob:
## Generic Transport - London
- There will be no updates temporarily until bustime.org timetable importing has returned. I am not mad at anyone, or anything, apart from the bug itself. I wish there was just a simple button to remove them, but sadly there isn't, according to an admin work will start on fixes in ~1 week.
## The London Mobility Bus Company
- We are aiming to add more routes to our fleet, remember this is purely fictional! Areas I am planning to extend to next are Enfield and Hackney.
- The 900 may be delayed as the 905 needs to be fully finished first.
- If anyone is looking for a cool little map on mobility routes, check out this map by Stagecoach East London:
https://www.busmap.co.uk/free-downloads/Stagecoach%20East%20London%20Map.pdf
The map dates back to July 31st 1995, and although unfortunately it does not show the exact routing of the mobility routes, it does tell you where they go and which areas they pass through, which is incredibly useful at times!

Generic out ;)

Oh great, so if i markdown one thing, it does it for the whole thing.

Guess i know not to use markdown next time.

ROUTE UPDATE
19D's timetable has been finished in time and will begin services tomorrow!
We are super proud of this win for our subsidiary and we can only hope for the best as we increase our fleet further into the Hertfordshire & Essex border, as well as creating new commercial routes serving the Northern and Eastern parts of London.

FURTHER ROUTE INFO
The route runs between Waltham Cross and Potters Bar, although instead serving the areas of Enfield Wash, Enfield Highway, Carterhatch, Gordon Hill, and Potters Bar. This runs Monday-Friday starting at around 7 in the morning and the last service departs Waltham Cross around 3.

ALLOCATION
The route will be allocated to SN21 plate Enviro400 MMCs recently transferred from another company to Generic Transport.
These buses measure 10.2 metres in length and have been tested and are able to complete the route, also confirmed by the fact that it follows main roads the entire journey.
The route brings a connection which was previously separated in Enfield, and making it so you no longer need to change between the 313 and the 279, and also brings direct connections to Waltham Cross in the Chase Farm and Carterhatch areas.
These buses are diesel but are modified for lower emissions and meet ULEZ regulations.

SERVICE UPDATE
Route 19ᴰ has begun service today.
Due to the works at Waltham Cross Bus Station, until this Friday, buses will terminate at Waltham Cross Railway Station, and then start at the stop on the opposite side.
Please allow extra time for changing over to London services from Waltham Cross.

ROUTE UPDATES
I am going to continue adding routes to my IRL recreations, but no timetables will be made due to the current bug, but do not worry as I will add the timetables after, so don't annoy me about why some of the routes have no timetables.

First ever 905 towards Hall Lane currently in service 👀

FLEET UPDATES
Please welcome a new bus to our mobility fleet, YY58 OLP (old F/N 103, renumbered to 767).
This bus is an ADL Enviro200 Dart and has been painted in the Generic Groups Green Gradient.
We are planning to use it on what will be our new "Green Line" services, the first of which will be the 900, which are overall longer distance mobility routes with higher frequencies. The 900 will operate Monday-Saturday with 4 buses operating in both directions from ~7am to ~5pm, while the frequency is TBC and this will be confirmed when the routes timetable has been completed.
Each bus will do 1 journey up to Enfield Town and then 1 journey back down towards Stratford City.

Furthermore, the planned 900 (which was planned to be a more direct version of the 905 skipping Priory Court, Hall Estate, Chingford Station and Yardley Lane) will be renumbered to 905ᴬ, but will otherwise stay the same.

I created a new operator based on Arriva
https://v2.mybustimes.cc/operator/Arriva%20North%20West/
and i added you as a helper

OPERATOR NEWS
