Correct.

Seen 6931 at Digbeth in what I assume was on driver training (there was only two drivers in the bus). I'm surprised that it's on that side of town or maybe they're there for a different purpose?

6938 on PN18 (and a round on the 17A this afternoon)

@Nathan what time off merry hill is it?

In Europe maybe, not in Pensnett. Poor show for a Sat afternoon/Evening with a reduced Pvr.

Given the extraordinary situation that the country is in, and the speed in which some of these things are happening, I'm impressed that it currently has only been those few services that have been effected, given that the local train firm has spent many Sundays in the last few years cancelling services through lack of staff when there has been no health crisis.

What's happening with the 17,17A and 17E because bustimes is saying '17E renumbered to 17. No change to timetable' but there is no sign of any changes to them on service changes on nxbus
