My best guess is that the controller hasn't had its destination display updated. Out of around 1600 buses, there's always a handful that's likely to be missed!!!

There was a '66 reg BC platinum that still had 23 to Woodgate (with a scrolling display) 6 months after the network review, so it's likely the same thing has happened here (obviously less than 6 months but still).

Not sure whether this is a first, but the 4 buses that I saw on the 15 in the Bromley Lane area on Wednesday lunch time were in 4 different liveries - 4540 (red and white), 443? (crimson), 6760 (platinum), 2001 (new grey and red).  I'm sure this will confuse some passengers.

Thought WN didn't use Tridents on Sundays?

My mistake.

I don't understand why another livery is introduced, when there's still red and white vehicles going round. The new one looks better than the Platinum but grey is such a dreary colour.

I was just looking at the 4 timetable for the cycling race for the commonwealth games (4th August) it says there are only 3 trips between Wolverhampton and Spring Hill between the start of service and 16:30

Is the timetable correct or is it an error?

Looking at that link, I don't think those wanting to go to Merry Hill from Wombourne will be happy as apparently the 15 is Chapel Ash - Wombourne only

[Westy]

I suppose 'Chapel Ash' will appear as a terminal point on the displays?
