1705 is on the 205

Clue is in the highlighted bit!

You've confused me

@Rhys S trainbasher means that the round trip you said 1705 is on the 205 is dated monday so 1705 was on 276 on monday as i got that bus that morning

Wednesday 11th March 2015:

It was a day trip with a university colleague to promote information about our Open Day specifically for Deaf and HoH students / adults.

Walk to university to meet the colleague
17xx 89 Wolverhampton Bus Station to Wednesfield, a walk to the place we went
4307 89 Wednesfield to Wolverhampton Bus Station

5416 1 back to Wolverhampton
1434 39 Wolverhampton to Priestfield tram stop
T69 tram to Jewellery Quarter
1815 8A to just before Ladywood, I thought it was the right stop to get off but I was incorrect
1825 8A to Ladywood, a walk to the place we went
Finished there then walked to Hagley Road, persuaded the colleague to sample a new bus on the 9, luckily she agreed!
6102 9 to Birmingham Colmore Row
An hour lunch break
Walked to Snow Hill
T69 tram to Priestfield
A Trident on 79 to Wolverhampton Bus Station
Our day trip stopped there, she went back to university, but my day did not stop there!
Saw @Nathan, @jack4325, @NXWM Spectra in the bus station, had a chat.
An hour or so later, an interesting observation occurred
662 256 Wolverhampton Bus Station to Kingswinford (662 overheated, poor thing!)
A 10 minute wait for the 257 to Stourbridge - a Trident (obviously)
4135 246 Stourbridge Bus Station to Dudley Bus Station
A Trident on 126 Dudley Bus Station to Wolverhampton Bus Station
A Trident on 529 Wolverhampton Bus Station to home.

Started from 10:30 to 22:20. A long day! Apologies for the lack of information on the fleet numbers.

The idea behind the 'Round Trips' thread was to post details of buses/services used when going out for the morning/afternoon or all day, not popping to the shops & using the same bus there/back or going to school & back on two different buses.

Anyone posting in the round trips thread should be using a minimum of 4/5 different buses/services, anything less is of little interest to other members & therefore should not be posted!

Driven by car to town, then...

16 | Markets to Colmore Circus
99 | Square Peg to University Station (trip to an art gallery)
99 | University Station to Halesowen (In hopes of finding an MMC)
  9 | Halesowen to Municipal Offices (caught 6109. Pleasant bus, though unpleasant smell.)
82 | Newhall Street to Spring Hill Tesco

Walked home from Tesco. Highlight of the day? Definitely the MMC. Hands down.
