Quote from: fleetline6477 on April 14, 2025, 10:04:19 PMSo, drivers on the current Bearwood rota are going from driving the 20, 20A both nice, scenic relatively quite, easy routes to the 80 and 74, bet that's gone down well!!
Both pairs have their dues tbh. It is what it is fho

Quote from: ZF B7 on April 14, 2025, 06:03:23 AMWouldn't it therefore be pointless having the Bearwood rota at that point? Exactly the same as Soho
No? Doesnt the bearwood rota have the 82,87 and 49? Or am i mistaken

With the 20 supposedly going to BC Garage how would that impact the interworking that the 48 20 and 20A have.
I doubt it will due to the three routes interworking but it could happen.

Quote from: Stu on March 19, 2025, 07:39:12 AMAh, my mistake, I misread what it said on the service registration:
https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/search/find-registered-local-bus-services/details/631619/

Thank you for this, it's interesting because it seems to contradict the service registration which states the service is already supported by subsidies.

Either way it seems Banga are facing the same problem as NX did, lack of passengers.
I thought the 5 was subsidised on evenings which is why chaserider run them. Is that not the case?

Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on April 11, 2025, 01:32:45 PMWhat is the difference between the 4M and 3 to Merry Hill I may have to go to Merry Hill next week and plan to connect through West Brom as there is a choice of 2 buses and I won't have to sit on the 4M from Walsall for over an hour. But not sure what the difference is or which is quicker
The 3 goes through more areas such as lion farm, rowley regis, Brickhouse farm and a few others compared to the 4m going a more direct route via whiteheath, Blackheath, cradley Heath & the rail station alongside quarry bank

Quote from: Sh4318 on April 09, 2025, 06:28:06 PMDon't quote me. But I feel like there was. The branding was green is I remember correctly. I can't find any pictures of it anywhere
I thought green was for the 59 and the red on green was the 1
Unless you are refering to something like 4320
Had a look through buses and found 404 as green and 74 as a redish but nothing with 79

Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on April 08, 2025, 10:33:14 AMYeah I noticed that even if the 75 still ran that wouldn't be accurate as it extended to Darlaston, I think some still have 75 to Wednesbury and the ones that were updated just removed the 75 to Wednesbury and kept the 79 reference to Wednesbury I believe the branding used to say 75/79 to Wednesbury maybe wrong there, the update deffo says 79 to Wednesbury now
It used to say 75/79 to Wednesbury on a fair few its just 79 unsure if any still rock the now dead 75
