Just as I alighted from 6727 on the 997 6729 pulled in displaying 934 Walsall not sure whether it was the wrong destination or it actually operated the journey to Walsall. I did get a pic of it I'll post link later.

I've been driving the 934/5/6 all day and haven't passed one yet

If it was on the 997 earlier is there any chance it could now be on the 934.

And then come back around again to pick up on their departure times. Lots of 51s & X51s have 'recovery time' in their timetable, so come in Not in Service to drop off, and then go around the block to start their next journey. Both are actually in service at the moment

Alright, I never knew about that. Thanks for letting me know.

I see the Express and Star is calling them 'Phantoms'! Can't they even print a press release these days?

No other just needs less idiots boarding the bus.
Still to this day how people aren't aware of this amazes me

If of interest to anyone, 6722 has just pulled onto Bull St as a 934 back to Walsall.

6745 now out, on the X51 closely followed by 4876 (Presumably a board that will go onto the 934/5/6)

I noted 6719/22-25/27-31/34 variously working the X51 and the 997E early this afternoon. That was while riding 6731 from Walsall>Birmingham.

One lady very confused that 6731 didn't stay as an X51 in Bull Street, but switched to a 997E (which she only realised from the bus-stop it pulled up at). I think she may have got on at Aston University inbound with the intention of travelling on outbound .... :-\
