256 went into stourbridge at 11.40 and changed to not in service and drove back towards Wolverhampton

That's quite normal, they park opposite the tip in Stourbridge normally to await there next working.

There appeared to be a Spectra on the 256/7 today, saw it several times but couldn't catch the fleet number. (it was 4002 - Tony)

There have been major problems on the 256/257 this week due to roadworks at Camp Hill in Wordsley.  I've been told that buses have been taking up to 40 minutes to get from Stream Road to Stourbridge due to Stop/Go boards causing gridlock.  I have seen 2 Tridents from the 256 heading "Not In Service" into Wolverhampton this week to catch up time.

The 2 sets of roadworks causes havoc penn road one way and stourbridge road ones. Waited around 50mins for a 256.

I know people who are travelling from K'ford to Stourbridge by 255 to Brierley Hill then 246 to Stourbridge because of the chaos on the A491.  The Penn Road diversions don't seem to be causing too many problems as the 255 has been running mostly on time.

Yeah they have chose the right time to do the resurfacing work during the day would of made more sense doing the work at night

It's starting to look like the one way system in queen street is almost ready to be reversed, when this happens where will buses be running. I'm guessing service 25,28 & 59 will serve lichfield street instead of queen street. But with princess street closing to traffic, where will service 1 be re-routed to ?

Will services 3,4,69 & 89turn right into queen street from market street or will they be sent down bilston street and along pipers row ?

The following should apply:

Service 1 to Dudley - Lichfield street, Pipers Row, Bilston Street, Metro island 5th exit onto St. Georges Parade, left onto Snow Hill then Normal line of Route
Service 1 to Tettenhall - no change

Services 3 & 4 - Fordhouses & Pendeford
Market Street, Right Onto Queen Street, Left Pipers Row, Left Lichfield Street, right Princess Square then NLR

Services 3 & 4 To Castlecroft & Springhill - No Change

Service 25A/27/27A Same as Service 1 To Dudley but obviously leaving bus station, left onto Pipers Row

Service 25C Pipers Row, left Lichfield Street, Right Princess Square then NLR

Service 28 - Willenhall
Left from B.S onto Ring Road, right at traffic lights onto Wednesfield Road then NLR

Service 28 - Wolverhampton - No change

Service 59 - Ashmore Pk
Pipers Row, Tower Street, right onto Market Street, right onto Queen Street, Left Pipers Row continue onto Fryer Street, right Broad Street then NLR

Service 59 - Wolverhampton - No Change

Service 79 - West Brom & Service 81 - Merry Hill
Pipers Row, left Bilston Street NLR

Service 79 & 81 - Wolverhampton - no change

Cheers for that Ash :) Was wondering whether 4001 was out on a late board. 4011 is also on the 25A/C today if anybody is interested

All 6 buses on the 59 today are E400H's. I must say i see the 59's every Sunday and i don't recall


The closest i've seen is when we had all of 5510-14 on here with a Trident.

WN2025 is on 59 now

The 59 is fully Hybrid today. None have been swapped (yet!)

I was on the coming on to m54 yesterday from the m6 where I took over a 41XX trident going towards wolves. Duno if that was a transfer going to WN

Staffordshire website says the 6 is revised from 31 Aug - needless to say nothing on NWM website and can't find anything on NXWM either?

When you say revised, Do you mean in terms of Route or timetable changes?

Timetable

New timetable on Traveline, re timings across the day with some changes in running times it would seem.
