Quote from: winston on April 14, 2024, 12:42:28 AMThe last 4H being the 19.58 at Mendip Road?

Looks as though it was 8 mins late at Halesowen & turned back there:

Yes that one. It arrived into Halesowen ontime. Must have sat at the bottom probably having a cigarette and then decided to go back to oldbury leaving Halesowen 8 mins early. I bet it didn't even have 4H on the destination blinds the whole way back to oldbury

Shocking service provided today. The last 4H of the night has failed to operate. Driver probably cba to finish route...

Why does a decker do 1 journey on the 4H every Sunday. It comes dead from Dudley to Halesowen to do one trip round Hayley green before going back to garage. Surely a better way of providing this service reducing the dead mileage

Quote from: winston on March 17, 2024, 05:14:28 PM30903 & 30904 were withdrawn & moved to Tividale depot, but hastily re-instated & returned to Burton due to the condition the Kidderminster E200's were received in.

31419 & 31420 have both been in service for one day at Burton. They've all been off the road the road since....
Those e200s are in a dreadful condition I'm not surprised. 31420 I sampled on the 142 and if you think that's doing above 30mph.

Quote from: Trident 4194 on March 10, 2024, 08:08:05 PMThe 19:55 4H to Hayley green has not operated. Looks like the driver has forgot he's meant to change from a 14 to a 4H! And is now running 20 minutes early on the 14 back too dudley.
He's come back to Halesowen after getting as far as blackheath and still hasn't operated the 4H and is now running 15 minutes late on the 14.

32290 is an absolute disgrace. The seats are ripped and torn. It's making a shocking idle noise.

Quote from: Westy on March 02, 2024, 03:26:40 PMBut reading on here, there always seems to be a problem on this section, with buses finishing early on route.

I know there are roadworks, before someone says, but surely there must be a more reliable way of serving Hayley Green, so we don't get these comments?

The 417 was a much better option to the now 4H.
