Has anyone noticed that the X7 doesn't show up on the nxwm app, doesn't show it's timetable all (my mistake, I thought it was only limited stop from wolvo to dudley)

does anyone know if the 79 is currently on a temp diversion route, I've seen it go along Darlaston road instead of coming up woden road to join Darlaston road? This morning i think it was 4343 that went along Darlaston road while in service and 4547 cut off and went down widen road, I've not seen any information on nxwm website.

Couple of questions, what does pvr mean?
Is the X7 a faster version of the 15 because that's what it looked like on the map.

Why get rid of the 121 and run the 12a to birmingham and locals already have 2 other options to get there? That's 120 and 126 if you're wondering and even the 127

Has nx seen the 126? It can get pretty packed so why reduce it 15 minutes?
I think the biggest issue is the 121 keep it with the small E200's and add another bus on to the route in the peak times to keep up, have 2 buses running the full route and one with E service.
I don't think the routes should be renumbered

4758 on the 120A

1945 has been on the 120A all day

on the blind it said 120 Birmingham, via oakham, langley & bearwood

is 1945 on loan to pn? Its on the 120 instead of 120A

Platinum and crimson b7 on 79, is this normal now?

2 120 bus drivers stopped in the middle of the road, just like old times ay, they did piss off the surrounding traffic though as the one going to dudley held up quite a lot, but i respect that they ignored them and helped the driver out by giving him directions, i like the atmosphere that drivers give off to be honest, helping one another around island.

4583, no rear display

A quick question for bus drivers, how enjoyable do you find bus driving, I've asked a lot of non bus drivers and most of them have said its boring, I've also read a lot of complaints about management.

Have some of the new Platinums started to go up to get the hybrid engines fitted?

6876 is one that's been done i think

Eventually yes, it is having a trial full diesel conversion.

Interesting

The 44 PN tridents don't seem to have the same oomph that the y regs had. I liked the loud engines and the sound of the bus moving from stationary

the y reg tridents also have nice sounding gearbox that the later ones don't have but I'd take a 44 over a 41 any day

It looks shocking though ngl. Not the buses fault I'm aware

it looks horrendous

Who said anything about being withdrawn early?

I just thought they would've been withdrawn earlier than the crimson ones
