A new timetable commenced this week on the 891 which sees the Saturday service withdrawn for a second time.  This leaves Cosford, Albrighton, Kingswood and Wergs with no buses on a Saturday at all.

The service always seemed relatively busy on a Saturday when I used it - wonder why they're withdrawing it now...

4934 on the 60 - is this the first time there's been an E400 on the 60?

Why would you run the latter from Pensnett. The Dudley to Wolverhampton section was run from Park Lane as the 558, so if they split it... it'd probably be WN operating both sides.

I know, it would just be nice to have another garage operating into Wolverhampton, as since the 89's withdrawal only Park Lane has been operating around Wolves

They did that before the Wolverhampton network changes a few hears back.  Was known as the 501.  However, I do agree with you and it's annoying when the school kids on the Tettenhall Road push and shove onto the buses.

Yeah I remember that - was a while back! Were the 501 and 558 rejoined due to profitability?

You mean freshly painted 4834 at the side of Walsall garage awaiting collection

Thanks Tony, didn't realise they weren't stored inside the garage itself

Anyone know why there's a random Coventry branded E400 in Bloxwich industrial estate?

2013 (WN3/4) on WN60

I'd split the WN1 into two routes - Dudley - Bilston Street (Wolverhampton) run by Pensnett and Bilston Street to Tettenhall Wood run by Park Lane - reliability is often shocking, especially as there are around 6 schools plus Wolves college up the Tettenhall Road - usually full of school kids from Wolves art gallery!

Anyone noticed that a few routes on the NXWM website display grand central as a stop? For example the N60 from Wolves - Bloxwich has grand central as the first inbound stop - https://nxbus.co.uk/routes/west-midlands/B060w/?timetable[day]=&tab=

1432 seen on Lichfield Road (Wednesfield)

Avaliable to be used where needed... in particular the X8 & 529, plus 59 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Didn't word my initial question very well - I meant as they currently haven't received full platinum livery will they receive the new livery with the red diamonds or old livery with the red line at the top?

Where's 4797 going to be based?

What's happening with the ex X7/X8 branded buses that haven't been rebranded for the X8?

3 of the 4 buses on the 60 were Tridents yesterday (4320, 4345 & 4356). 4314 and 4325 were on there on Monday. I suspect it might be the norm over the six weeks holiday.

Another 02 reg trident on today - didn't catch the fleet number
