I very much doubt it. The advertising contract for the others finished months ago

Noticing on your recent changes list, that sister vehicles 4345 & 4347 have been withdrawn, plus (correct me if I'm wrong!) that vehicles not far off being withdrawn tended to have the ad liveries on(But what about the E400 in Birmingham also in GHR livery? I suppose that will go to crimson, if it hasn't already?), so does that mean 4346 is being withdrawn in GHR livery?

4286 still has the GH advert.

@Tony Can you 'have a word' with whoever you need to speak to, re the 60 please,  as it's supposed to serve both Park Road & Wolverhampton Road in Bloxwich,  but this lady I was talking to just, says it went off Park Road without her, but served Wolverhampton Road, as I saw it.

She is now late for work at New Cross she says.

Does it serve park road on high street? Need to get off the X51 and straight onto the 60 when ai commute come September. Its a tight gap.

X529 launches 1st September which will be brilliant. There was conversation about the concept a few weeks back on the forum but didn't expect it. Info on NX site.

Platinums probably.

Possibly not.  The 529 is having a frequency increase which will mean an increase in PVR.

According to my sister, it's supposed to, as she got 'caught' the other way once, by it only stopping at Park Road & not Wolverhampton Road, where she was.

Must admit I've only ever caught it at Wolverhampton Road & before that, the corner of High Street!

Park Road is only for the benefit of the Pelsall passengers who used to catch the 89!

It happened this morning.

It affected the 706am from Bloxwich.

I dont think it does, that stop is for dropping off before bloxwich. However, just looked at the new timetables and there is now an 18 minute gap between the X51 arrival and 60 leaving so im safe. Only traffic changes on the 60 from what I can see.

Didn't know the 60 was changing!

Looks like I'll have to get the printer out!

Just had a quick look & that 0706 I mentioned has gone, replaced by a 0718, which means it will jostle for space with the 0715 326, as that normally runs late!

Is it actually to be a Wolverhampton route -
the stops are listed from the Walsall end?
