Good to see west brom garage has made a shuttle bus available for Oldbury rota drivers from 9am till 1700 , running every 20 minutes between garage and Oldbury.
I hope it's replicated at other garages too.

Makes me wonder why they need such long breaks in the first place when there's spare staff this is just adding to social gathering. should be straight through duties and go home.

Probably 4722 which is at WB getting a full refurb by the bodymakers there before repaint

it is Fleet number is inside.

Saturday service commencing next week on the 25th for WB services until further notice

A reduced Saturday service

Has 4745 gone back to WB

correct

No-one is saying they are for definite, but the Mayor has announced the intention for cross city services

Rumour mill in full swing at west brom 50 and 82/87 to be merged to create a cross city service.
I seriously hope not, 50/82 to be operated by yardley wood and 50/87 westbrom.
There was an article in the Birmingham Mail back in January that the 50 82/87 corridors will have 28 million pounds spent on bus priority measures so that has got me thinking it's plausible.
History tells you cross city routes ultimately fail.

imagine that, Road works in Moseley would mean no service for Dudley Road or Vice-Versa. Reliability would be out the window for all three services. Dudley is already a nightmare with Metro works.

I swear I saw that on the 74 in West Brom earlier.

it is on the 74

Scania seem to be making a reappearance on the 12's, 1933 and 1934 on there this morning.

If you feel like you have a valid point then it isn't moaning for fun. Personally as a regular user of pensnett and wear brom routes I think the standard of cleaning is a vast improvement over the past. The 87s I've been on have been spotless.

Not anymore 87's have had the chicken bones and chips / clothing security tags etc all making a comeback.

Things are looking bright, haven't had any passengers yet in Colmore Row asking driver have you seen the X8 anywhere. (still early days).

I have seen the local police on several occasions removing bedding from here, also others have reported seeing used needless etc on the floor. There's now a notice stating unit temporarily closed.

My post said no such thing I correctly posted the toilet (singular) at Bearwood Bus Station is run by Sandwell MBC. I corrected the plural to the singular on the post to avoid any confusion as far as I am aware the toilet is open to all genders.
