Has a B6LE made it onto the 529 yet?

Yes, B6LE made it onto the 529 when WA operated the route.

I remember the Presidents used to be on the 529 as well, back in 2006/7. I have a picture sent from Tony ages ago, upon my request. It was from his old website.

6013, 4884 was branded in the garage over night so thats why 4884 now has branding

Ok then, I don't understand Tony say to me "Wrong" because I was think or believe 4884 will unbranded. If I say 4884 will unbranded that is wrong. Anyway back on topic normal..

Didn't catch a word of that but ok then???

Well, this is rather interesting to see some controversy with someone who is not skilled with English unlike you all. I think what 6013 is trying to say that he doesn't understand why Tony said to him that he is wrong about the 4884 being unbranded. ( I think it's to do with the fact that he posted on the day before and didn't see the bus being branded overnight and then the picture of 4884 was posted in this evening. ) And as for the detailed template he created, he was probably giving an example to Nathan(?).

I thought National Express were taking over the evenings and Sunday 2 workings

I haven't heard a such thing about this. It is new to me.

Timetable

Is this the current or adjusted timetable?

It says withdrawn on the network wm site but arriva say its staying but has a new timetable from 1at sept, their website says timetable has changed but doesnt detail what changes. They leave you to go through tbe whole thing and work it out, 68 and 70 are changing same day too. Again no detail as to whats changing

Righto. I will have to wait to see what happens on the 1st September for official confirmation. I give my thanks to you for helping to answer my question.

Somewhere on this forum, I read that this particular bus service will be withdrawn on the evening services. I would like someone to give clarification regarding this. Is it true or not? What is happening?

[Yes the 256 used to interwork with the old 259 route didn't it as that was WN operated?]

The 256/7 had 3 single deckers Yesterday! 1677,2027 and another B7RLE

Correct.

Dom, Spectras on the 256/7 are actully not that odd.

It's just 'cause 257 is a PE route and spectras are WN

No, 257 is a Wolverhampton route Dom :)

Well, it's still a Pensnett route but it is operated by the Wolverhampton Garage. It used to be operated by Pensnett before the changes happened.

A B6LE on the 126?! That's a very good spot, indeed. Extremely rare.

Infact Ultra rare! NXWM Breaking the emission rule again!

I'm going to be picky again. "Ultra rare" and "extremely rare" are exactly the same - just a different word with same definition. x_x

Sadley todays society is no-one would dare step in/Speak or challenge when anti social behavior occurrs as can be seen the outcome of this incident on a lothian bus in July.

A similar thing happened on the 69 in Wednesfield the other day

What happended

On the (WA) 69 bus in Wednesfield at 4:15, the two teenager "scumbags" attacked an elderly man. They had others with them. The driver did nothing and they thought it was funny to hit him. They're around 14 years old. The woman who reported this incident said: "The old man was ok, they shook him up as the lad (pictured) grabbed his arms after the old man asked them to be quiet. I was very upset with the driver when he said "I can't do anything love"."

A picture of the two teenagers.

2001 currently on WN226

I apologise; I have to be this picky, blame my OCD. It's WN 26*

Or maybe he meant 126?

B7RLEs do appear on the 226 just not NXWM ones! ;D

... Or WN 126 indeed! That might be the most likely correction.  Yes, you're right about the 226. :)

What stage would cover birmingham international

Depends where you live. I would just put in a pound although you could also save money with a £2.70 daysaver

He lives 6 stops before me the stop that serves Manor House Lane :)

Okay, in that case, I would just put a £1 in if it was me.
