6702 - 5E sarehole mill left Solihull ontime so can only presume no driver to take over 

No 15:57 or 16:17 4H from Walsall to Hayley green. That combined with 2 diamond no shows has caused people to be waiting over 40 mins. And no there is no traffic disruption on route just a lack of drivers evidently 

Is 4798 booked to be used on Saturdays too? @Tony 

Why's there a 125A running between highley and Bridgnorth?

Is 4798 used on weekends? And does it have an end date 

Half a dozen full buses once a fortnight is hardly a big earner

Why did nx used to use deckers on it?

The timetable on bus times says 18:28 goes to West Bromwich only. Definitely a different timetable on bus times and diamond site.
Then again bus times 54 timetable is also wrong to.

That's wrong bus times is not reliable for timetable info 

@Simon Dunn seems that drivers don't like doing the full route and instead like to park on the Dudley road just off oldbury island on the way to depot. Seen 30887 the other day parked half on the pavement displaying NIS and todays culprit looks to be 30813

Personally don't know why you bother putting the last 4s up to blackheath anyway surely would make perfect sense to run them to oldbury only

76s were a mess this afternoon. 4775 which I caught ended up 20 minutes late in kings Heath and was being followed by 460* on the 76 which according to bus times was ontime (was showing as only doing as far as yardley wood on destination blinds however.
Seen an omnilink also on 76E by QE about 16:00

Caught the 13:22 202 as far as Bartley green today and the solo 20870 was carrying at least 15-20 passengers from Halesowen 

It also doesn't help the crap buses Diamond use on the 002 either when most of them on a daily basis break down! When I worked for Diamond in 2018 the ONLY buses that were suppose to be used on the route were the 68 plate Streetlites and I know these were purchased for use but not exclusively on the 002 then all of a sudden those Streetlites one by one started being used on other routes and the crap Volvo's (etc) were then being used on the route instead

Management must have heard you. Look at all these streetlites on the 002 today!

I would have the 002 terminate at field lane Bartley green.

Again the issue with the 002 is reliability. Unfortunately drivers are incapable of sticking to timetable schedules as of late. The amount of 002s I've seen in 2s or running NIS to get back ontime it's ridiculous. 

I know a lot of good drivers have moved onto better things as can expected, but the drivers on routes now really do need some form of monitoring and training. It's not acceptable 

X10 - five ways followed by another x10

No. NX will not use double deckers under Sandwell & Dudley Station bridge with the current signage

What was it over here for then?
