Also seen, a 33E to Perry Barr and a 3E to Haslucks Green Road. But unsure if that's a normal Sunday working.

The 3E on Sunday normally runs up as far as Robin Hood Island. They used to show 'Hall Green Tesco' as the destination, but I've seen lately on the evening peak shorts that it shows 'Hall Green' with the lower line alternating between 'Robin Hood Island' and 'Short Journey'. Don't know if it should be the same for Sundays too.

According to the timetable, it terminates at Stratford Rd/ Haslucks Green Rd. I saw a toothpaste enviro 400 laying over at the bus stop there this afternoon.

today I saw a 141E in a Bearwood but didn't see where it was terminating
but it was closely followed by the 141 doing the full route

74E to Dudley Port Railway Station
No idea how it is meant to turn around there
Usually its 74E to island road handsworth or west Bromwich bus station

There is the triangle just before you get to Dudley Port where you can turn around

Unidentified Eclipse on the 311E, Dudley to Wednesbury earlier!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

You've got it; but looking at the timetable that's where the 952 finishes anyway?

It runs in a loop around its Great Barr termination. I think the 952E serves to Hassop Road and runs back to the garage/goes out of service

Is it the same as the 952H timetabled service also?
