surprised there Wasn't there a report in the local rag at the time.

As Stu told me if it ay on twitter or social media it doesn't get reported for example 1846 crash on Atlee Road, a Stabbing in King's Hill Park in Darlaston on May 4th that prompted an Air Ambulance to be called. It was only speculation on local Facebook there had been stabbing it has since been confirmed it was. Although I would have expected something like this to be all over social media

The Tram isn't the solution franchising isn't the solution. Leave things as they are and then like the trains if NX reliability becomes some bad then take them over and let someone else take over there routes and garages or run it by TFWM just like The trains in Wales and Scotland are being run by there government.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

32307,
Side destination blind is not working, the next stop announcement screen is now showing the date, time or what route it is on and also the doors are very slow closing as if the air pressure is low they have been like this for a while now.

Guessing this was the one that collided with the pub in Burntwood?

Yes, from what I heard it was a pub it collided with, have you seen the damage.

As handy as the Perry Barr flyover was, the whole area feels much more nicer to be in now without the likes of that, grotty subways and a grotty train station. The traffic at Perry Barr isn't even that bad either really with the lights, even at rush hour it does move fairly fast. Before the Perry Barr works it was a massive dump and never felt safe at night. Even the old roundabout was a traffic hotspot for buses coming outbound from city and now that's happily not an issue with the bus lanes.

Would be nice if the Walsall drivers on the limited stop services would make use of that bus lane in rush hour to speed up journeys instead of sit in traffic.
