Depots operate a combination of bus routes and ring and ride work

As far as I know

Aston : 10/H, 25, 53 Erdington, 96, 99

Frankley : 19, 39/A, 42, 145

Wednesbury : 22 both Wolverhampton and Walsall routes, 24, 53 Wolverhampton, 64, 80, 208

Coventry : 26, 30, 41, 47, 89
What depot have the 800 and the Tridents used on it.
Is the 10S (Quinton - Selly Oak) also at Aston?
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

The 50 & 57 are run by Wolverhampton (Ring & Ride) depot. The new arrivals mentioned by Alex on the previous page, plus 2107 are based there.

What about the 19 Walsall to Bloxwich?

Hypocrites are like flares... a right pain if one goes near you, and really annoying to get rid of...

Aston, I think, with the 10/H as the 25 branded solo regularly get on the 10's.

Also what's happened to Elmdon do they not have any bus routes anymore?

I would have thought they would have one depot for all?

I'm guessing it's easier to have smaller ones dotted about, considering the sort of work ATG does with Ring and Ride, and the fact that they don't have many large vehicles.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

The Tridents are at Aston. See them driving into the garage sometimes still with 800 displayed

Their website has gone down hill, no updated timetables post Oct changes nor an active FB page.

The S16 is still shown on the website, that has been operated by Claribels since April and now operates Monday to Saturday instead of Friday only.

The site has indeed gone down hill. Just looked at it and notice Christmas times etc and thought that is early. However it was Christmas 2016 not taken down. 167 and 168 timetables still shown under igo. Shame because it is such a well set out site but if the information is not up to date then it is no better than useless. Also every day loads of tweets about lost service etc but never any tweets "selling" the services

I also noticed that on the NWM website and timetable info at bus stops that the 10h and 10s appears to be Monday to Friday only... Both routes were running this Saturday however.

I thought the new 67 reg buses were for the new Wolverhampton contracts 50 & 57 service but my mate didnrt see any on 57 any idea what service they might be on
