I wish the trees on Powis Avenue were sorted so it could go DD, it can get really crowded at times

Yeah can see Pear Tree Lane on the map, can't see where it went in Dudley am I missing something?

Could anyone tell me what route the old 545 took from Dudley to Merry Hill? I'm sure it went down Pear Tree Lane, but where else did it go? Anyone got a route map that shows it?

1530, 1533, 1536, 1613-21 were 79 branded. Don't quote me on that.

Thanks! Was starting to think I was going mad! I remember the green 404 and orange 74 0405N branded, and I've seen lots of pictures. Wonder why there are hardly any 79 pics?

Am I right in thinking there used to be 79 branded Mercs? Same colour as what the 74 branding used to be, and it was before the Tridents came about, when WB still operated the 79. I'm sure I used to catch them as a kid but I've never seen any photos 🤔

Which part of the route means the service can't have longer or DD vehicles?

Has 2101 actually worked the PN 19 today? Or is this a glitch on Bus Times?

Does WA operate all of the 4H services now? Or are there still shorts in Halesowen operated by PN? Also why does this service not track on bus times in the day?

What route branding is actually left now?
AG 4, 11A/C
BC 23/24, X21/X2
PN 9, X10
WA 4/H/M, 31/32
WB 74, 82/87
WN 6, 8/X8, 529
YW 6, 35, 50

Are there any I'm missing?

Considering the amount of buses rerouted round there you would think they'd have ensured the flags were right. As now, people will talk and think that the 80 goes to the hospital, when in actual fact it's the only Cape Hill/Smethwick route not to change.

It was one of the bus stops outside the new hospital (The Bus Mall I believe) and it clearly said 80. There was another stop for the 89 before anyone thinks I misread it lol

Saw a bus stop today at the hospital which had 80 on it, I didn't think the 80 served it and hadn't changed?

Anyone got any bus route maps of Wolverhampton from the 2000's? Would be great to have the City Centre too, map of the old Bus Station and what routes stopped where

Saw that 2102 was on the PN 2 last night - thought Volvo B7RLE's couldn't go on the 2 as they're never on the route? 🧐

Just get the train back from Lichfield City to Sutton Coldfield, then get a bus from there back to Walsall. Doesn't take long and the 6 (which you could catch at Four Oaks) to Walsall is pretty quick, or you could get the 5 to West Bromwich 🤷�♂️
