About a three minute walk for a fit person

Wonder who did that... hmmm @pndriver any ideas?

Quick thinking on my part to keep the service running, streetdecks by far the best deckers we have. The reaction from passengers, pedestrians and car drivers was amazing. Only having the 5 means that many people haven't seen them. A few passengers commented how beautiful the bus was. There were pedestrians turning around and looking at it when they heard it's whistle, I had a guy driving a land-rover in Blackheath watch me stop at the roundabout and he carried on looking at the bus instead of watching the road.

Overall the passengers love them.

Huh, didn't know that. Was that introduced recently as I used to get the 276 back from near Merry Hill to Dudley on a Sunday every week after visiting family, and it was always a B7RLE, and before that an O405N.

About 2 months. I see the 276 every Sunday to and from work and it has been E200's.

Ah, haven't really been anywhere near the route on a Sunday for a while, that'd explain it.

@Winston Perhaps it could be updated on the route allocations sheet? :)

The 205 route to Kingswinford and I think it did the 256 route to wolves

205 to Wall Heath, Blaze Park, then similar to the 255 to Penn, and through Wakeley Hill (what the Diamond 64 serves now) into Wolverhampton, i believe.
