907A is to Streetly, Hardwick rd, this might be the layby where the 88 terminates/935 serves at Hardwick Arms. I would guess up to New Oscott and up the Chester Road, like the old 113.

If that's the case are they admitting they should never have got rod of the 113 in the first place? Much like the "brand new" X51, which near enough exactly replaced the 951

Found it by accident looking for details of the Sandwell network review, there didn't seem to be any info coming out and it was getting close to the date so just got nosey

Already mentioned this but I thought it was weird at the time

This last few weeks of an evening, the outer circle was being diverted all the way through Hamstead and rocky lane just because the roundabout at Perry Barr was closed, was fun to see Presidents coming past

Think I've heard of this society before, but it might have only been in a passing glance while at a museum or something, tempted to join up

Biggest problem id say is actually the retail park next to Bradford place and the associated traffic that always reduces the approach to a less than walking pace

Wow, ok wasn't quite expecting thinly veiled insults like that

Yes I am aware the driver is "a person' who possibly has a family to support etc
But... If this sort of driving is "ok, just because it keeps someone in a job" then what's the point? I for one, at the time, thought it was quite funny, but also dangerous considering the amount of traffic that use the road, if it was two cars doing it people would probably just think "ah its the usual scum", if it was a lorry they'd probably be quick on the phone to the respective company to report it

Regards being "quick to complain", its not exactly like it was a vendetta against a driver or there was the slightest infringement of driving standards or whatever, driving like that is surely worthy of complaint? But as you wish, as i have not yet sent in a complaint i won't bother, just to keep people happy

Regards the 46 taking over the 651 route, why could it not wait those few more weeks until the north Birmingham review?

I think that it is to do with the end of the tender that runs out at the end of April

Was it a tendered route? Thought it was ran sponsored by the Nether Hall estate

319 on the 651 heading up the Old Walsall Road about half 6 this evening, driving on the right hand side of the road and appeared to be racing a white van for a bit, then pulled in front and crept slowly up the rest of the hill in the middle of the road

Going to report it but figured id share it on here as well, I was in the car right behind the two and although found it a bit worrying also found it quite funny seeing a solo do that

Please don't now say you took a picture of yourself

Could have been 811, saw it in Sutton at 12ish... Followed by a B6 on the 5...

Ouch. In the evenings fair enough, bit during the day?

4138 (I think) on the 997, although it may be a peak working im not sure, heading past Perry Barr going into town at about 20 to 6

Was it in the current livery (Modified Shade of red)? If so it was 4138!

It looked like it yeah

Also just saw one of WBs E200s on the 5, again, could be a peak working

4138 (I think) on the 997, although it may be a peak working im not sure, heading past Perry Barr going into town at about 20 to 6

Don't know about in service but passing PB depot this morning I saw a solo with 28 on the front and I believe it was a leather seated omnilink bound for the 16, can anyone confirm them?

Double deckers have appeared on the 4 (404), when it was operated by WB, the reason you don't see any deckers on the 4 may have something to do with the route taken to get Walsall bus garage from Walsall, Bradford Place, I think, as you said, there might be a low bridge on the way

Bit of a crap excuse really, surely if you can trust drivers to remember the entire route then you can trust them to remember a slightly different route to get back to the depot

Can anybody shed any more light on these registrations for 9th June, Is my route (the 907) going to get some improvement, is the 936 in direct competition with the 56, is the 934 extended to Walsall (via 76 rout possibly), how is the 914/115 going to be re-routed, the 66, 66A etc etc ?, I use most of these routes a lot ..... help .... please....!!!!

Don't panic matey! As per other area reviews expect full details to be well publicised on the NXWM and NWM in time with details of what is chanfing and full timetables including maps for services in the area.

Some details will come with the leaflets, other details will be announced later, and we'll find out the exact details of the exact route after the service starts...
