@PB2938 4595-96 and 4606-09 regularly used on the 51 on weekdays and Saturdays (although I will admit that I haven't seen one on there in the last few weeks until recently). I suspect we'll see them on the 51 more often with the Euro 6 conversions happening with the Enviro 400's at the moment...

I don't want to reveal anything out of respect for who confirmed it, but keep an eye on the main site over the coming days.  ;)

The x51 I took from birmingham to cannock on Saturday had a fair few on board around 1pm leaving the city

The return journey was quieter but passengers were enquiring about a Sunday service. Seems encouraging!

One went past on Friday about half 4 in Wyrley and it looked really busy downstairs. However how many have concessionary passes? They only get £1 per scan which is rubbish for operators I think.

Slightly off topic, but do you know how much they get per scan of an nBus pass?

Not sure to be honest as was sat upstairs. There were 3/4 upstairs who went from birmingham to cannock.

On the way back no-one travelled the full distance but there were people who got on in Bloxwich and stayed on til Birmingham.

No one got on or off in Great Wyrley in either direction.

Out of interest did many used to use the service from Cheslyn Hay before it was rerouted?

Hopefully it'll appear in TWM livery for its semi preserved status. I was never a huge fan of red white and blue, but it's far better than the red and white monstrosity!

I didn't think it was as clean cut as x amount per scan. I thought it was a lot more complicated process and can actually vary by operator.
