Tridents are regularly on the 59 on Sundays

Now that the frequency has virtually halved on the 11 and the fact Lets Go liked to be in front of NX, I wonder if a change in the usual allocation will be seen
Local routes are the PN 7, WN 8, 25 and 242 (mainly the 8)
Also regularly use the PN 2, PN 2A and WN 82
Local rail station is Stourbridge Town, 139s 😍

Depends on what normal loadings are like. NX haven't registered any additional journeys, so presumably they feel there is still enough capacity.

I suppose it will be a case of wait and see; if vehicles start getting overcrowded and passenger complaints roll in, then action will need to be taken.

Like I said, depends on if they are needed or not, as well as if WN have any spares they can use.

You can't just conjure up double decks out of thin air!

They are no where near needed. A streetlite can cope

It was a case of first come first serve, when I last used there 11 the E200 had a decent load but wasn't over capacity at all.

When did the 9 get taken off Field Lane in Pelsall? An elderly men has angrily had a go at the driver of 2011 for not serving it.

The 11 of a Morning is usually bit busy unloading into Wolves and then a fair few got on The StreetLite back to Underhill the Let's Go bus only had 2 or 3 people on it usually regulars, a mum and son and then a couple of others. Middle of the Day NX Double Decker would have 2 or 3 on board, not many going to Underhill, Let's Go roughly the same and at the minute they are still running on the 11

Double deckers are now more frequent following (yet another) critique of the single deckers on the 59 from a certain Wednesfield North councillor, previously of West Midlands Travel employ.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

Maybe WN will get some of PB's platinums and be able to cascade some Eclipses to WA to replace some more tired Scanias there. All conjecture of course.

Lets Go are still on the 11 (and 1) as an appeal has been lodged to get the revokation order rescinded. (Sorry for any spelling mistakes!)

Yes we know, It's been correctly posted on the Let's go page.

Noticed on my way to the Doctors this morning 5426 a hybrid which I believe is still Hybrid has a little Sticker on the destination board surround with what looks like the sort of sticker you see on the Hydrogens and Electrics. Assuming these Hybrids remain Hybrids will they all get this sticker. 5404 which is Diesel didn't have one
