Can anybody list the latest starting bus services in the West Midlands?

In Wolverhampton I would say the 62/A possibly Mon-Sat

On a Sunday first 25 departs Wolverhampton at 11:25


This can include people listing the latest time a bus starts on a Sunday :)

Stuharris 6360

During the week, the 282 has its first journey at 09:55 from Quarry Bank!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

The first(BC) 70 on Sunday doesn't get into Birmingham until 11:27. The first 129 on Saturday doesn't get into Birmingham until 08:58

There was a stop on Halgley Red just after Bearwood where the first NX Sunday 140 was just before midday before they took over the Diamond journeys.

Although still quite early compared to a lot of other routes that run Sundays, WN59 only starts at 08:50 (Compared to 05:00 Mon-Sat)

Liverpool Street

I think the 99 starts late, check the timetable

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Does this apply to Mon-Sat? Usually in the week the late starting services are the tendered and/or off peak routes

I think the first X96 from Stourbridge (I think towards Dudley) is 10:2*/10:3*

EDIT: Just looked at the timetable and its slightly later at 10:40. Towards Wollaston is 11:12

Nope, it's 10:40 I think

You ought to check out old 1970's & 1980's timetables.

Eg the old 319 in the 1980's(possibly 70's too?) didn't start until around 1330 on a Sunday & finished late, compared to the present day 19 which starts around 10am & finishes around 6pm!

(Is that worth another thread starting?)

Sh4318

The old 129 (Birmingham - Blackheath, via Five Ways, Portland Road, Smethwick Blue Gates, Tat Bank, Oldbury & Lion Farm) didn't start on Sundays until 1pm at one point
