Does anybody on here really care about them apart from the two regular whingers

Pensnett x10 buses now have correct working next stop announcements except 6933 which has never worked from new

Loads of services were running late today thanks to Doris and the Tarmac terrorists in the name of insulate your loft
The protest was done top of great Charles street which is in a clean air zone
And just how much pollution was cause by cars stuck in the traffic jams

All the article says now is:
Ms Elharrar reportedly told Israel's Channel 12 that she could not get onto the grounds of the conference because the only options were to either walk or take a shuttle that was not suitable for a wheelchair.

No mention of what type of vehicle the 'shuttle' was.

or the size and weight of the wheelchair

6918 - X10 - Pensnett Estate

that is where the service finishes and goes straight back to garage its timetabled to do that

Judging by the time of day they run - two journeys early AM - I would guess they are staff services.

Also as there are timetables listed online, I would guess they would be available to the general public too - may as well pick up some paying passengers on the way!

I don't know what you mean by "unique being in service", other garages have or used to run such staff buses publicly, for example Yardley Wood used to run their own 801/802 circulars early mornings between YW and AG depots.

ticket machines not live for staff bus journeys  so no not for paying public  and I don't think drivers would want the public on the bus with them going to work

Work at merry hill by the canal embankment has now started

On Sunday 6/9 interwork
                 2/7 interwork
                 X10/18 interwork

6/9 interwork
            X10 on its own now
            2 on it own now

Are services 12/12A/13/13A going to be entirely operated by PN from 29th August? Or will WB still operate them too? I've never been able to work out how these are operated (Always feels very random) apart from the 6 weeks holidays.

Also I've not read anything about an extension of the 7 to Wolverhampton, so why will they be operating it? Is it interworking with another WN service? Seems a lot of dead mileage from Park Lane...

12/13 run by pn from Sunday
7 will interwork changing service up Dudley 82 I think

Is anyone planning on doing the X92 on the last Tuesday in August?

the driver

A fair few of the 'F' and 'G' Metrobuses from 2990 - 3124 spent their whole lives at Wolverhampton garage which was up to 20 years for some of them.

I don't think 2274 spent 28 years there as all the MK1s were withdrawn by 2003 and 2278 was registered in 1980/1981. Probably more like 20 years too.

3124 was new to hartshill

Nx have told me all the changes   Just saying 😂

So loads of armchair web warriors are going with @pndriver tomorrow after all the whinging done on here about the route
