Isnt that the old route?

Diamond's 478 used to do it before the Sandwell Review.

Not quite, 49 is a completely different west brom - bearwood route

Problem with the 97 branding, sit at the front upstairs and you have to stuggle to see out of the window

4177 on the 61 or 63 today, saw it on the Bristol road, may not be unusual but very noticeable

I don't know, would have thought they'd do it every half hour all the way round

So Arriva stepping up the services between new invention and wolves? Actually its good to see a reasonable service between new invention and essington as well
#3533
hang on where's the talk of 35B coming from? I looked at the staff council link someone put on here and it mentions an x35, is that going to be as well as the 35, just irregular frequency like the old 991?

I thought this might have been the way things pan out. With two different workings. It's a shame really, I was quite looking forward to going the whole journey. Surely some workings are from Londonderry - Pheasey, peak workings maybe? Will there be a Sunday service between West Brom & Pheasey

Should be on sundays, can't remember what the poster said, but the 651 currently does so I imagine the 46 will

Thats me told then, just checked the new timetable and on sundays its just west brom - scott arms

Thats a good clear map.

At Asda Queslett, there is or was a map like that showing the local bus routes. The thing is that the local routes are for Bloxwich, not Great Barr/Pheasey!

Something about Asda I think, the one at Perry Barr has the same map

National Express West Midlands / Re: Network map

only really for local areas such as all the buses that serve Bilston, or Perry Barr etc...
Would be a bit too unwieldy and complicated to do the whole network

Not necessarily an unusual working, just a diversion, but due to the roadworks at Perry Barr island, the 11A/C is being diverted in the evening via Rocky Lane.... freked me the hell out yesterday evening when I saw one go past with people on because I didn't realise

Sooner than that surely, end of this month that section opens and the rest closes

Is it just me or do the PE E200s feel faster than the BC ones?

I'd be willing to say in general Pensnett buses are quicker than BC, perhaps because of the drivers
