Wonder if NX  will do anything this Sunday as apparently there are issues with the Trains but there is a small matter of a Black Country Derby at The Hawthorns. The Wolves fans might be getting an escort by the Police but 20K West Brom fan will still be there. I wonder if NX will loan in any veichles to get fans back to West Brom or Brum and maybe help with Wolves fans getting back to Wolverhampton if there allowed to

No vehicles would need to be loaned as its a Sunday service, I would imagine less buses would be on the road so if they ran any specials then they should be spares in the garage.

There are no trains between Wolverhampton and Birmingham New Street due to engineering works. Trains are running as normal on the Snow Hill lines, but will be busier than normal, as will the Midland Metro tram service.

It looks like Leamington are running it. 11218 and 11222 are making their way back down A45 Coventry Road

Wonder if other local coach or bus companies were interested but were outbid, if they were asked to express interest.
