Better be in prison for a long time and given fines for all damage caused

Depends on the purpose if it was to endanger life ie he knew there would be people on site then treat it as attempted Murder then he will, if there wasn't they will treat it as Criminal Damage/Destruction and it will be about say 5 years depending on the amount of damage caused

Would Walsall keep the Sunday 69's, as they were only added when Wolves took over the route & to replace half of the 70 journeys withdrawn?

Could do make a half hour service between Walsall and Beechdale 69 and 70 every hour, 70 can take over the night.

What about Macarthur Glen?

They'd be open surely?

Yeah the shops are open on Boxing Day, but other than young people like myself although my Birthday is in January so I wait who get money for Christmas Most people are skint, full, with family to go out for boxing day sales. And it will also be quieter as the Boxing Day Football will be on I myself will be in Willenhall watching a non league Black Country Derby

I doubt it in this day and age of our two tier system, not as serious as a post on X

Two D&G buses reporting on bustimes on the 63 today  - it may well not be the first, but I've only ever seen one showing on there, with the rest being buslink.

496 is actually on there however 31 is a bus link vehicle tracking as it

Just revisiting your comment again.

The majority of OmniLinks at YW will get withdrawn once the rest of the new electrics arrive. There'll have to be some left there though for the 27 service that needs single decks.

If you mean OmniLinks across the whole fleet, there's no chance of a majority of those being withdrawn this year, not without new vehicles coming in to replace them.

There's still another 130 double-deck electrics due to be delivered out of the current order of 300, but it looks like this won't happen until next year now it seems.

It's going to take some time to reduce the overall numbers of single-deck vehicles, so people are just going to have to be a bit patient for a while longer.

maybe replace the paperweights with buses you can use that sort out another 20
