Has there been trouble with stone throwing on the railway too - 730206 returning from Crewe to Oxley was timed to stand at Bloxwich station rather than Ryecroft?

£100 company, with no obvious connection to Wrexham, Shropshire & Marylebone, still a live Arriva company, has applied for a track access agreement for services between Wrexham and Euston calling at Darlaston and Walsall using cl.222s.

I don't think there has ever been a passenger service between Park Lane and Water Orton.

Complete shambles yesterday afternoon - not a single Crewe-Euston after 12.13!

Worth noting that only some were showing cancelled or altered at the time

said to be the first 323 leaving for Northern.

Not seen any report of 730s in use.

Caetano's T200NDY and T300NDY both at Crewe on rail replacement today - photos elsewhere suggest they've been owned since Feb - am I missing something?

Er - like I said four posts up!

Personally I doubt if the £2.00 fare has gained a single passenger, and suggest it's just people who would travel by bus anyway saving money.

£2.2 billion for potholes?

LK04NBB will be out till 6pm

Sorry - didn't make myself clear.
.
What I meant was will it work that board daily or am I likely to find other DDs out - or was it a one-off?

LK04NNB in Pitcher Bank at lunchtime.
.
Is it likely to stick on that turn or swop with the other decker?

Yes - I did it both ways on Thursday, almost had the tram to myself both ways between Pipers Row and the station.
;
I also did the non-preferred platform at Edgbaston - not sure why as although the service was disrupted there wasn't one in the platform nearer the road which I am told is normally used.
;
In fact I was slightly bemused as leaving Wolves the screen was showing a 25 minute gap after the one I caught, but then on arrival at Edgbaston the next was at the normal interval, which is understandable as one may have come into service but then there was a 25 minute gap.

[BUS -]

Thanks - but that's not what I asked. Bustimes has it as JW65BUS - the only other references appear to be

which is E20RRT
and

Has anyone any photographic evidence of the existence of  a vehicle registered JW65BUS - I've tried google and all I could find was a note on a photo of  EsomethingRRT.
.
Where does bustimes get its registration info from?
I'd have thought operators using fleetnumbers only entered that in the machine?

GW65GSW was in Goal Square this afternoon on the 8 - bustimes appears to have it as 40 JW65BUS.
