Is the 108 well used?

May as well do one big post in this thread.

That's a very very good spot :)  As is Nathan's one of an eclipse 2 on the 56. Today did see some unusual diamond working then.

The 401e could use slightly bigger buses than solos/mpds but think royales are stretching it a bit, to be honest. Is the 401e still fairly busy?

Thanks for the update about the 108 Nathan it's just that someone was complaining about lack of capacity on that route I noticed so just interested.

These branded centros must be under quite a lot of pressure on that route I think-they're always driven fairly quickly to make up time...Maybe they're showing the strain

Drivers have to put their foot down as the timings on that route are ridiculous. Under 90mins for a round trip Merry Hill - Weoley Castle - Merry Hill. No wonder you often get 2 running together.

30434 is on the 226 along with 20539

I found The 002 yesterday to be ontime in both directions must be a peak thing

They do arrive into Merry Hill a lot in 2's, 2 I saw today did, plus I have seen it many times before. One goes straight back out to Weoley Castle, and the other parks up in the Bus Station
