The article is funny, "walsall is the ideal place for shopping " . I think if you'd spent 90 minutes on a bus to get off at Walsall you'd be bitterly disappointed 😂😂😂😂

Did you 'nick' that photo from me @Bob ?

Another new livery bus on the 4/5/7 today - 3731, following 3728.
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!

Tatty Dart with missing paint on the 35 around 7am today in Walsall.

Thought they were using 'better' looking vehicles on that, as it was interworking with the 765?

Decker 4408 is on the town 4/5/7 this afternoon.

This won't be able to happen from 3 June as the new 4/5/8 interworking includes a low bridge!

On the 5th of June, route 4 frequency will be increased to every 10 minutes, so this will affect the 4/5/7 interworking as the 5 and 7 remain at every 12 minutes. At present there is a 4 or 5 minute layover in town but this doesn't work when you look at the new in and out times. It will be interesting to see how it does work. Route 4 will have 10 buses an hour (rather than the old 5) between the two operators!  It was a strange choice for competition.

The 4 is going to be run on its own and the 5/7/8 will be interworked

That works nicely - 4 minute layovers worked in numerical route order 5-7-8. I see that what was the 8/9 (which will all be full length trips numbered eight) will be reduced from every 10 minutes to every 12 minutes to make this work.

The 4 will need 3 buses with generous 8 minute layovers, the same as Central. The town stand will be rather congested!

The 65 will need an extra bus to cover the new extensions to hospitals at either end. I wonder if another will be specially painted.

Yet another new livery Pulsar seen on the 4/5/7 today - 3743.

I have just had a leaflet through the door advertising newly refurbished vehicles on the 3 and 3A.

What are these newly-refurbished vehicles?



Just re-done my website.  Check it out to see all my photos.  Updated almost every day!

3743 certainly looked a lot better than it sounded!!

I don't think it will be anything special. 3505 is on today and I've seen other ordinary ones on the 65 lately.

By the way, Sapphire Citaro 3022 is on the 4/5/7 today (last day before the group changes to 5/7/8).
