Lost Property had closed and It appears I left it somewhere else anyone who might be going to work at Walsall there is a couple of members who work there on here could see it. I also didn't know if 1885 was going to be on the 41 after or head back to Garage hence I asked. It turns out it stayed on the Darlaston rota till half seven then went back to garage

Quote from: Westy on July 13, 2024, 09:50:12 PMMust admit I've done that twice myself, once on the Bloxwich route & the 2nd time on the 37.

Both occasions, I had to wait for the bus to come back on it's return journey.

Not too bad on the Bloxwich route, but had to wait ages at Bradford Place for the relavant 37 to return, so feel your pain!
I didn't if 1885 was on it's last Journey or going to go on the 41 it was heading to Walsall anyway. It then did the 39 so I could have waited at Darlaston or around the corner from my house and then it went on the 34. But It appears I left it somewhere else. Or at least I hope I have the Gaffer of Darlo the team I was watching Said it was behind the Bar so had been picked up. But I would have waited for it in Darlo if I knew to check before I asked.

Quote from: Mayfield on July 13, 2024, 09:56:25 PMWhat's wrong with the guy asking for help, who knows what personnel item he could have been desperate to locate and he's also stated he believed lost property was closed.
Hope you never need help and people take your attitude
Yes and I know there is a couple of Walsall Garage staff on here who could be more likely to see it if they aren't at work or tell me if they were at work if they saw it on 1885 and will know what driver if they are senior to enough was driving 1885 on it's last 37 board I believe. As it did the 39 and 34 after. As it happens I may/or have left it somewhere else. And I believe Lost Property had closed I think it usually closes at 4 or 6

Just seen 6721 in stone cross maybe just came from MOT at West Brom

I've seen 2 of Walsalls buses in stone cross today not in service, one was 807 heading towards Walsall coming from West Bromwich then the second one was 6714 which went up towards West Bromwich from Walsall then about a hour or so later it came back towards Walsall I'm assuming both of these have been to West Bromwich garage for a MOT.

I thought scooters & bikes were not allowed on buses. Maybe I'm wrong about this

I see 2126 has been involved in an RTC this morning on the 29 route. Hope the driver was ok.

2133 has decided to give up in stone cross.

Is there any reason why the 77/A doesn't get allocated deckers. The 77A and X15 (which can get deckers) take the same route?

Why waste a double deck on a route that doesn't carry enough passengers to fill an E200?

The 77A has never been allocated Deckers, neither has the Sutton-Erdington section of the 77. The X15 could easily cope more with a B7 or Scania considering the amount of E200's I've seen full and standing in the PM peak considering a lot of people catch the first bus between Brum and the Yenton.
