Can I buy an Adult Daysaver with Card or would I still tap on every bus and show the ticket as I will be getting NX buses only as I'm sure with waiting times of the Train Vs the bus it would take the same amount of time from Walsall to Lichfield and the bus is cheaper

Just buy it on card. Once you've got the paper daysaver ticket, it's exactly like you've paid it in cash, so you would just show the paper ticket to the driver.

I've noticed that some of the X6 brands are loosing their branding, will new vehicles be branded up or is this the end of the X6 branding.

Yes, there's no extra payment required if you need to change buses at Erdington or Acocks Green

I've been seeing all over the news about people moaning about the "outer circle", do you think it will ever go back to being the full circle or will it cause to many issues on the national express side.

902 has probably moved now 531 has entered service

I think the vehicle movements are to prepare for Monday when the uni shuttle returns to the term time timetable, increasing the PVR by 5

32644 has been withdrawn, meaning there are now no barbie buses in public service with first

Indeed; it has certainly had a good innings. 32644 was the last of the 'new to Leicester' Wright Eclipse Gemini in service with First. 32628 is still going in Essex but, despite serving in Leicester for a while, was actually new to Northampton.

Looking at BusTimes or Google maps they currently display separate 'phantom' stops which the stagecoach routes are tagged to alongside the two Cox Street outbound stops and also the inbound stop on Gosford St under the ring road.  I don't know why or how this problem was created but it would indicate the reason why the RTI screen only displays the Stagecoach routes.

I suspect a lot of these current problems in Coventry are to do with a lack of local knowledge at TfWM in Birmingham?
