We review the tracking and action this.

The 002 new timetable is not working at all well. Frequency reduced and a tighter timetable = disaster

[Westy]

Would I be correct in thinking the permanant allocation for the 326 is now Mellors, as I haven't seen anything else on there since the start of the year?

Spoke too soon.

We had a Solo on there today!

@Simon Dunn seems that drivers don't like doing the full route and instead like to park on the Dudley road just off oldbury island on the way to depot. Seen 30887 the other day parked half on the pavement displaying NIS and todays culprit looks to be 30813

Personally don't know why you bother putting the last 4s up to blackheath anyway surely would make perfect sense to run them to oldbury only

The timetable on bus times says 18:28 goes to West Bromwich only. Definitely a different timetable on bus times and diamond site.
Then again bus times 54 timetable is also wrong to.

Diamond Service changes for 15th April & subsequent discussion split from Tividale Depot thread (as it has gone way off topic) & merged with multiple other threads started on the same subject:

BusTimes is only as reliable as the data in the feeds it uses.

As I said before, "garbage in, garbage out" is the old saying, BusTimes itself is not to blame.

20736 not tracking on the 326.

3 Solo's today on the 4H - 20058, 20888 & 30638, I assume as a result of 30410-12 transferring to Kidderminster Depot

30638 seems a regular on it atm. That's a full size solo so it's not too bad.

That's because the 45 has been reduced to every 30 minutes

30802 is pumping out black smoke @Simon Dunn
