The faster Shrewsbury services have mostly been suspended since Covid first struck.

Is there more than one?

801 from Wolverhampton is registered. Searching vosa for Coastal Liner registrations turns it up, but searching for Rodbaston doesn't.
Just leaves the 802 from Darlaston.

803 from Pelsall via Walsall now registered by Select.

On national rail it was listed as "Compliant Woodstones" - their website dosen't seem to be using compliance as a selling point.

Only steam Carnforth-Carlisle-Preston.
.
The really interesting bit was Sideway Loop for the Birmingham-Crewe EMU to pass.

It is also reported they have acquired some from Sc/Irizar from Reading Buses too.

Are the services from the West Midlands new this September? Presumably if they are cash fares they must be registered.

Coastal liner are mentioned, but their website only shows the 16!

I guess the ones prefixed MB are college minibuses?

Does anyone know if it is the intention (or even possible) to open when it reopens after the Bull Street work?

You have to wonder if they have a control office - nothing from New St to Rugeley between 19.11 and 21.49, yet the stoppers to Walsall all ran.

I have certainly seen Megabus coaches outside Parkway since the change of franchise.

I had assumed with the ending of HST working megabusplus would have finished, but traveline Midlands has timetables for M38 Falmouth-Bradford and M39 Nottingham-Hull, both via East Midlands Parkway with times on some journeys at St.Pancras, but I don't seem to be able to get St Pancras International on the Megabus website at all?

It was on the X12 today.

It seems to me that pulling out runs the risk of TfWM taking the line that if operators won't co-operate voluntarily we will go down the franchise route?

They'll happen because they are being touted as improving air quality by reducing the number of buses in the city centre - whether they last is another matter.
