Does anyone know the full extent of the WB/PE changes? Are the frequencies of the 12/A & 13/A going to be affected

I heard 12/A & 13/A are to be solely operated by PE with the 12/A mirroring 13/A up Portland Road & City Road, not sure about frequencies

Does anyone know why the 11s aren't serving Rookery Road?

4971 (74 branded) - 80A

74 & 80A interwork in the evening at the moment, so will be a few (74 branded) popping up on 80A.
Also in the week last 89 is on a 74 running board so might see a branded in there also

I think they are just going to be on the same rota.

4978 (74) - 89. Just saw it roundthe corner from me on the last 89E to Cape Hill

That 89 is on a 74 running board so often has a 74 branded bus on it

Rumours seem to have calmed down at West Brom about 82/87 and 50 merging.
I'm curious if any similar rumours have circulated at Yardley Wood?
At this point it's hard to know whether there is any truth in it

So what's happening with 10H? Is that not coming over too?

Cheers @Zander

Can anyone update me on the current rota's and what routes are on them?

@2900 wow I was thinking of coming bk to west brom as well, but from the sounds of it things have just got worse.

I drove 2971 from this batch, nice bus

I'm trying to imagine how a double decker would manage the 47 route, bit tight through Chestnut Road?
Would be even funnier seeing one on the 47A. Would give the residents of the Millfields estate a bit of a shock! That will probably never happen though.

Back in the day I recall having a merc on my 1st portion on 429. Then coming back off my split to find I had a metrobus on 428 for my 2nd portion with a massive branch sticking out the top of it.
The driver said he wondered why people kept flashing him and pointing upwards  ;)

Hi Simon
I see the 142 is soon to be extended to quinton world's end. I was wondering what the thinking was behind this? Is it to cover services that are soon to be withdrawn?

202 back at kiddy lol, bet the drivers are happy about that. It's a nice route but needs decent buses. 849 on the 202 was a nightmare!!!!

I remember the good old days at WB on Dudley Rd when we only did 3 trips on 87 with relief in dudley. 4-5 trips on 82 with Bearwood reliefs and 88 with blackheath reliefs, it was a nice bit of variety
