They are really nice these. Can't see the 226 NEEDS them. @the trainbasher Did you go on 30412 or see if it has interior branding like most of the batch?

[the trainbasher]

@DiamondDart yes it does have interior branding

[PM]

@DiamondDart yes it does have interior branding

Thanks @the trainbasher :) It looks nice the branding doesn't it. Have diamond started to improve information provision ie notices on other buses as well as I know that was a targeted area for improvement?

20812 on the 34 today, this is still unusual but seems to be happening more and more.

30201 the 226 (1750 ex merry hill)

Also, I saw a royale not in service with 202 on paper in the windscreen going through Wordsley on lawnswood road heading westbound. It wasn't on the 226 as it was about 5 minutes behind the Hansons bus and 10 minutes ahead of 20601

Also W767urp has just gone down Hawbush Road (1838) but there isn't any 226 due off there until 1923

I think 30201 has been out all day, as I saw it at just after Midday.

Could the Royale have been going to take up service on the 205? as I understand one of those buses comes off the 202

It could be heading for a 205, but if that was the case then surely it would go direct to Wall Heath via the A491 and Moss Grove instead of Lawnswood Road?

Could have gone Lawnswood Rd to the mini-roundabout, then right up Cot Lane, straight over & down Swindon Rd, straight over the A449 roundabout & turned right up Enville Rd & it would be at Blaze Park turning circle

Correct, the one 205 comes off the 202 (the one that I do a lot now) the other comes off the 142.  :)
