35/A/B/X35 branded 2143 on the 28E/530
2152 now branded for the 35/A/B/X35 on the 142/257 (Matt saw it while we were in Stourbridge)

2144 also now branded for the 35/A/B/X35 Walsall-Lichfield corridor

9 branded 2141 on the 142/257

Why so many branded 35's off route, are there no unbranded ones ?

At least the lichfield routes have had an upgrade,  even if its only 29 seater buses ( which would suggest thwy arent particularly busy routes). Dont know whatever happened to lichfield corridor it used to be pretty lucrative years ago.

2142 i believe was debranded from the 9 and is now the only unbranded E200. This happens weekly so not unusual to see branded buses off route

2152 has been branded aswell which i thought was strange as i thought only the E200's would be branded.

I quite like the 35 branding, but Id prefer it on the E200's myself

Yeah, what did happen to the Walsall to Lichfield corridor?

Even WMPTE ran the old 394 to Lichfield at one point & there was an evening & Sunday service too!

There isn't a Sunday service on the 9 or 35 so you'd expect them to turn up elsewhere

[Steveminor]

I remember Petes & WMT competing head to head on the 991 & Petes did make good money on it. Couldn't see that happening now.

But there are unbranded buses in the garage on Sunday.

Suppose they want to send out the newer buses instead?

True, But I dont see the point in Branding if that bus is going to be used elsewhere?

Hpw long dyou reckon before the bloxwich to wednesfield section of the 19 gets axed?

I can see it possibly lasting, if not around XMAS, but the loadings are not great, a single could easily cope on the 19, unless its busy around peak hours?
