Is it just peak mornings or do they run on an afternoon to Tony?

Do you have the time this was taken?

That photo was taken at 8 O'Clock at the Ivy Bush to city, it then did the out of city trip on the 829 and then another 9 back to city. I did see the second bus as well but was busy and didn't get chance for a photo.

I am almost certain they don't do an afternoon peak as I would surely have seen it! I'm never out early enough to see the morning peak hence why I don't see it

I'm sure it's been discussed, but why do BC run a journey on the 9?

Rode 4427 on the 9 this morning. It left Halesowen bus station about 07:27

From Matrs message to me yesterday he said he was catching the BC 9 running to Bearwood then catching his school bus and doing the full school route.

so he caught it in Birmingham Direction

John, looking at the timetable these BC boards only pick up the route from Halesowen then do a single inbound journey to Birmingham, and from there go onto 829 St Paul's School workings. I don't think the morning BC boards serve Stourbridge.

[John]

Thanks both for the info

[nitromatt1]

Yeah like they said it left the bus station going towards Birmingham about 7:27 (my stop at 7:30).I got off at Bearwood about 7:48 then crossed over to wait for my HC2

Is this working driven by the same driver every day?

Is this journey (BC working) always Operated by Tridents or do other types from BC operate it?

Well its always been a Trident when I've seen it, and has GOT to be a Decker so it can then go onto the school service so its either Trident, Trident or Trident at BC really other than a Hybrid but that would be exceptionally rare

The St Paul's school runs these journeys take up are always pretty full so it's always a double decker, and so by definition these days at BC, always a Trident.
