Taken on 29th December on a recent trip to Dublin, here is 4115 in its next life turning towards the Temple Bar area from O'Connell Street.
Now on Irish reg plates, but retains livery, fleet number and some/part decals.
Apologies for the blur, couldn't get my phone out quick enough.

Not sure how finalised plans are, but kerb alignment similar to that at West Bromwich Bus Station and Cradley Heath Interchange is certainly nessecary with stops on the bends.

At least now something substantial is on paper. And that is better than nothing.

Will the 82 warrant a stand change in wolverhampton bus station as it will be leaving via the exit onto pipers row?

What makes me smile in these times of constant route tweaks are how routes seem to come full circle, 544 renumbered, rerouted to only return to almost the same with a different number. Others like the 238/289 jump to mind, 333/40...

1633 has also come out to play on the 276

Would have thought on a Sunday before Xmas, it should be Tridents on the sunday daytime 276 service.

And 1629 was on 276 round lunchtime

Looks as though it's a fire in the engine compartment,

Not knock PE, nothing has combusted for a few months, that said bonfire night is looming......  ;)

In light of today's events with 1658, what are tomorrows lottery numbers?

The 258, from remembering leaflets of the time, was replaced evenings & Sunday's by a 127, wasn't it?

Correct - a full length of the route from/to Merry Hill Centre - Birmingham.

Correct with the replacement services of the 258 to blackheath. Can remember when the 258 ran alongside the 276 from cole street when the latter used to terminate at merry hill / brierley hill. Buses every few minutes - didn't last long though!

I believe (correct me if I'm mistaken) the 127 replaced it as far as cole street however then took the route of the then 238 through old hill, cradley Heath and Dudley wood and rejoined at coppice lane, where all 238, 258 and 276 ran to merry hill.

Good old days
