Cheers all.

The first bus from Mossley is now 0445am I notice.

Think, for me, there's a slight change between 630am & 700am with the buses I catch changing to Diamond from Nx.

At least Nx's branding will match, while Diamond need some new branding.

2125, has that been debranded as well, as per report on 2124?

[PB2938]

2124 & 2125 have lost 31 32 branding

No, Pvr reduction

Seeing the Wolves 20xx are being repainted in grey, is it about time Walsall's 21xx are due for repaint too?

No, only fully refurbished 4 years ago into that livery

Good to see a special someone driving the 997/X51 today (6739)

@Tony? There again he don't drive in service

@Tony? There again he don't drive in service

I do, and yes, I am having a day on the 997/934/X51 today

[mesub]

Is this a regular thing or is it due to the 10 point service improvement plan?

All hands on deck. Everyone who can drive is driving. This includes our normally office-based colleagues who are trained to drive a bus; while we experience these issues they are out on the roads every day serving our customers.

The 'ghosting' effect refered to in the 'Oddities' thread can also be seen on at least 2124 as well, as I spotted it this morning in Bloxwich.

Incidentally, bearing in mind 2124, 2125 & 2126 have been debranded from the 31 / 32, they will still appear on there anyway surely, even if the NX requirement has decreased.

What will be interesting, probably because of the parking of vehicles at Walsall depot, is how often the remaining branded vehicles will actually appear on the routes concerned?

Assuming there is enough double deckers available, couldn't 3 double deckers be branded instead, as certainly in the peaks, full buses do leave Walsall, which would help capacitywise?

Maybe 2124 - 2126 due to transfer.

3 buses have just been debranded because of service revisions, so why on earth would you brand 3 more and have 3 too many again?
