4604 the last one to gain 529 branding? 4597-603 and 4605 were already done

Yes it was the last one branded but was done a month ago along with 4602 and 4605 which all were branded way after 4597-4601/03

Looking at the new running boards for Walsall after the North Birmingham review changes there will have to be work done to keep branded buses on the correct routes.

I believe all boards involving the 935 will work at least one journey on another route so they will all need to be debranded/amended.

In addition, there is only one all day board that solely operates the X51 - meaning the other branded buses on this route would have to be confined to peak boards. During the peak periods, the buses on the 997E & X51 seem to swap routes, so care will have to be taken to keep branded 997 vehicles on the correct boards. I assume the reduction in full length 997 journeys, may be freeing up a couple of Leather Enviros to enable the X51 on to the 997 buses to also be leather seated.

Add all of that to the fact the 935A & 51 journeys are still mixed in with the others 'all day' boards and route branded buses off route in Walsall could become quite frequent!

Isnt the 935 going on a board of its own if it isnt on one already
and the 934/936 will interwork

During the daytime hours & on Saturdays that is the case, but during the weekday peaks the bus will operate a mixture of all 3 routes.

Could Walsall Brand the 934/935/936 all on the same branding, instead of having the 935 running on the 934 etcetc

4876 out on 934 and 4879 out on 51 both debranded.
Three ex Coventry Scanias now left paintshop, so presumably red, no sign of them in Walsall garage

Tony, Does the 934 do the full route to Walsall on sundays or a shortened working?
