We are not short, however I belive this was a change of bus meaning if it's easier to get that off the front being euro 6 then why not use it late night 16A don't get too busy from what I've heard. It's just what is easiest to gey out the depot to gey the milage and service run.

The 16A can be very busy departing Birmingham of an evening. Quite often if only a streetlite is allocated then will leave full and standing, Deckers are certainly needed or at least a pulsar. 

6995 seen being towed away from the terminus at Hamstead 

4525 still showing £4 after 6pm for the group daysaver not been updated since fare change

New electric buses on order for the 4H and 45 according to website

It will be interesting if the reliability of the vehicles used on the 4 is affecting the service. 1857 has just broken down on the 4, leaving a gap in the service with a well loaded e200 being the next vehicle to arrive.

1857 broken down on the 4 (just before Stone Cross)

Bramford Lane is closed towards Oldbury so there on diversion in that direction so that's not helping. They have changed stands at West Brom and the 16A at 17.41 used the old stand drove off leaving the waiting passengers behind. 

30508 at Redditch on the track this afternoon

Could be wrong but didn't a few years back when the 4799 to 4829 batch of buses on the 9 clock up too many ( or close to the limit ) with their mileage allowance and rumours they were going to be changed for the 47xx enviro 400 off the 50. 

New 4/4H timetable from 5th November in partnership with NXWM. Looks like diamond will operate the 4H and NX 4M and share the 4s between West Brom and Walsall. Combined frequency of every 5 mins between Walsall and West Bromwich
