Would Walsall keep the Sunday 69's, as they were only added when Wolves took over the route & to replace half of the 70 journeys withdrawn?

Could do make a half hour service between Walsall and Beechdale 69 and 70 every hour, 70 can take over the night.

Does anybody know if this information is true or not yet about Walsall taking back the 69 and giving away the 41 service?

Sounds like a load of rubbish 41 going to Wolverhampton

6741 6750 De-branded

Most of city Platinum 997/X51 debranded

It's more likely if anything in this is true, that WA gain the 69 and WN gain another route in return could be to do with January Changes or could be an existing NX route. The 41 has always been a Walsall route, I could understand if the 40 still ran if WN took that with Walsall running the last duties to Willenhall. However the 41 makes no sense as Walsall interwork it with the 8 and of an evening the 6/7 and 37 and on Sundays I think it interworks with the same routes all day. The 69 I can see being interworked with the 70/70A and then retimed to give Beechdale a bus more often.

Unusual to see 5 double decker buses on the 29 service this morning

One of those being 3304, I noticed.

In fact I saw an Enviro 400 on the 70a as well.

I guess that is still interworked with the 29 as well?

Temporary allocation while the 6 has single deckers due to diversion. 

Also 4599/4628 on 31/32.

3304 didn't last very long in service from what bustimes is showing.

Yes it does 29 and 70A interwork
Also 70 and 70A are on Diversion from Leamore Lane due to Flooding I believe from a Burst Water Main

Anyone know what 1840 is doing at the moment?

Seems to be on a long diversion, unless he's broken down & going back to garage?

(According to Bustimes!)

Interesting diversion for the 70 / 70a.

Was I believe on the Darlaston corridor I assume either it got stuck maybe on one of the Estates and by the time it was freed it had Lost Time or broke down, it looks like it came straight from Bilston after doing a 34

You are just guessing

I wouldn't have thought that was the only reason because they only use up to 4 buses on the 6 service.

3304 did the afternoon 159 journey, as I saw it in Bloxwich.
