To be honest, I was thinking it wasn't notable, because most routes in Walsall saw a Platinum during the early part of the pandemic, or does that no longer count?

I can't remember if I've actually seen an X15 in service before? Is it Walsall operated? Noticed a 4 Branded Omnilink on it today. I always thought/assumed it was PB operated. Unless I've just missed something somewhere and not paid attention.

It used to be operated by PB, but following the 24th April changes I believe it now shares the same rota and interworks with the extended 77/77A services.

X15 used to work of several PB routes. 28 and would run dead to City from Heartlands via Ward End normally 18XX branded scanias on that board, 815 school etc which would see deckers..
I used to see the 28 branded scania while on the 94/95.

3305 today.

Can someone explain why it is necessary for that particular journey to come on stand about 9 minutes early, thus preventing the Chaserider from unloading/picking up?

Probably because no one expects Chaserider to turn up (I am joking! I'll get me coat!)

Driver shortage can cause Cannock bound journeys to terminate at WALSALL no onward Driver to take over.

Crikey, didnt think i was ever gonna get home! I was thinking once sprint lane etcs up n running will the x51 use it too? Could shave a bit of time off the journey time end to end 👍
