4pm 297's only just left Hales and 4:05 241's only just loaded

Frequency of the 297 is...?

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Half hourly

What's the recovery time of the termini? I was told that, to have the service adjusted, you must have a delay greater then half of the frequency, given the other buses around you are on-time.

Any ideas?

A fair few late running/adjusted workings around Wolverhampton today

Any elaboration?

Sorry I forgot to add to that. Several 59's running dead to Wednesfield this afternoon with one bus running over 10 minutes late, 2017 on the 2 was cut short to Showell Circus, A 1 came into Wolverhampton as a 1E (No 1E's at the time I saw it) then went up Queen St/Market St not in service. Saw both a  69/89 running 10-12 minutes late aswell

Saw that this afternoon. Some 59's ran straight onto Ring Rd to catch up time (Does seem to be no convoys on the 59 now)

Two 98s (should be hourly) just passed through Selly Oak together

Not as bad as the time last September when I saw three in convoy and another 20 or so seconds behind on Leach Green Lane at around 1500...

Is there roadworks about on the 98 then? I know the running time is tight on the 98 but blimey!

There are only two buses on the 98, if they were both at Selly Oak together at 23:30 that would make one 40 min late and the other 20 early which seems a bit strange, perhaps there had been a change bus and one was an enhgineer on the way back to garage
