Just passed an 82 & 87 turning from Pershore Street onto Upper Dean Street - following a diversion from another diversion

International Express?

Just a testament to the reliability of bustimes; 431 appears to be tracking in the Gulf of Guinea currently! 😂

EVs for Dundee

https://www.route-one.net/news/mcgills-extends-electric-buses-order-to-35-hydrogen-to-follow/

TL;DR

The further order will see Xplore Dundee receive 12 BYD ADL Enviro400EV double-deckers...

Xplore Dundee will deploy its Enviro400EVs to service 28 between Myrekirk and Douglas via the city centre. They will be known as Electric Emeralds.

In addition to the confirmed battery-electric bus orders, McGill's says that it is in "advanced talks with a variety of partners" to bring 12 hydrogen fuel cell-electric examples into the Xplore Dundee fleet. They are due to arrive "in the next 12 months."

Not long driven past 3225 on the Hagley Road - around 11am

Apologies for dragging back an old topic, but the new Dudley Bus Station has been given the go-ahead - with some new impressions in the following article

Staying local, in line with government guidelines; two of my best (and noteworthy) from Sunday morning - when the snowfall was at its heaviest!

Thanks @CL

I will let the people know that the website is incorrect.... are there anyother routes that are wrong?

Gets confusing, this does!

@Westy Speaking of confusing.. ;)

West Bromwich now runs the 'Perry Barr/Hamstead' 54/54A as well - in addition to routes under the same numbers that operate between West Bromwich/Quinton

@Bus Man K2 Both are still listed as Perry Barr routes. If I manage to find any more anomalies, I'll PM you to save clogging a thread. :)

@Jack

It is a Walsall route but it's operated by West Brom Garage. Well acording to the NX webiste it is!! 😁

The same website also says the 126 is operated out of Walsall..

The 45 route transferred to Walsall in October 2019, with some journeys operated by West Bromwich - though I'm not sure if that's still the case (still, not wholly inaccurate)

has the 45 transferred to walsall now with 1909-1912 going?

Yes however WB will Still be Operating Late Night trips and Two Early Morning Weekday trips.
