I wonder what route the 311/313 will take between Dudley and Stour?

I think that's just another example of VOSA not updating the registration since the 311/313 were curtailed at Dudley & the 246 frequency increased

NX have also gained 424 and 650 routes

I believe they are relatively minor changes to the 311/3 (no longer serving Wednesbury Parkway) & 335/6 (no longer serving Wilbraham Rd).

The 7S will replace the 727, PM only.

Interesting to hear about the 424 & 650. I assume the 424 will be operated by PB using Solo (are there enough left?), but I'm unsure what garage would operate the 650.

Oh, I see. It does say "To amend Route", though

I know, but I'm saying it doesn't mean that the 311/313 will be going back to Stourbridge, just that the route will be amended between Walsall - Dudley only

That's a bugger taking it out of Wednesbury Parkway.

It gives me an extra minute to cross the road by there!

Things may have changed regarding the 424 & 650. That was the surprise I mentioned last month when I said watch for the forthcoming tender awards

That is a surprise-hopefully Diamond can manage to retain both of those routes...

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Presume it's the journeys that were lost by VIP last year and were put out to emergency tender.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
