6782 running round with the older announcements (ones before the slight change recently) while the rest of WN from what I can see have the newer ones

In my opinion, the wording is misleading. It says you need an NX Daysaver Extra ticket 'to travel' outside the zone, which isn't the case, and I'm sure its fooled a lot of people, not just me.

On the NXWM website, it says 'If you are travelling outside of the nBus area including Staffordshire, Worcestershire or Warwickshire you will need a NX Day Saver Extra ticket to travel.'

SN68 AGW collided with a pole in West Brom today causing damage to the front of the vehicle.

Either the front dest on 40842 is stuck or it hasn't been changed, seen at 13:40 doing a 50 or 150 (near Maypole) with 002 Weoley Castle on the front.

Out of habit of doing it, I used by nbus swift pass in Cannock on the X51, and it accepted it. I didn't think they accepted it outside of the county?

6762 is on the 8, not tracking

825 on the 8 yesterday

32644 has been withdrawn, meaning there are now no barbie buses in public service with first

I would extend the PN 7 into Wollaston Farm. Would give greatly needed links to Norton and Lye, its very common for Wollaston Farm people to walk into Wollaston village to get the 7 to these places, or change in Stourbridge from the 8. It would also reduce the standing time the 7 has at the roundabout in the village, even though I believe drivers aren't actually supposed to do their time there, they do, and it blocks the 8 and 242 from accessing the main stop in Wollaston.

Anyone know what font is used for the 'Lets Go!' text on the buses?

I'm very confused about a 'stop' in Wollaston on the 8. NXWM, google maps and bustimes lists 'Apley Road' as a bus stop, and its on the announcements. The stop flag is 'not in use' and has been since like 2020, with no timetable information there, and the drivers dont stop there when someone dings the bell. Is this supposed to be a stop on the 8 or not...?

E400s are a normal allocation for the PN 7, they appear everyday and have done since the start of the 2023 when PN got the route back, meanwhile E200s are quite rare on it

Can't find a topic for this Shropshire operator so I'll create one, anyone have a fleet list for them?

32260 and 32261 have returned from Manchester
