Just for people to post the fastest (least time taken) journeys they've made on either the full length or part of any route.

I did the full 241 (Dudley Bus Station - Halesowen Bus Station) in a record 18 minutes this evening

I've also done Dudley - Wolves on the 1 in under 20 minutes in the past

I once did a 3 from Slade Lane to City in less than 15 minutes, granted it was early on a sunday morning and he was late following a naughty trident not wanting to start!

Trident 4609

WN 59 Lichfield Road (Wednesfield) to Wolverhampton in 12 minuted

Full 241 in 15 minutes!

907 from College Road/The Ridgeway to City Centre in 14 mins on a late running Enviro one Saturday morning.

The 241 in 15 minutes is just about possible, I would've managed it if we'd stopped a couple of times less and he didn't layover in Blackheath

I got on a 900 to Coventry from Sheldon a while back and it should take 49 minutes from Sheldon, Coalway Avenue to Coventry but on that particular day it only took 35 minutes

12 minutes is very good going. I've never got close to that. Whenever I catch it, its a consistent 14/15 minutes from the stop after Nathan to Wolverhampton. Nevertheless, I never think of looking at the time until its too late.

I have been planning a Coventry trip for a while now anyway. I might even find time to do a Coventry route. Any you recommend?

Rob, Matt was planning to do the 900 anyway. If it took only that long then that must of been one hell of a thrash.

Not a good a thrash as my favourite 4609's thas on the 126 today ;)

I can vouch for that! Great sounding and super-fast bus. As I said earlier I am stealing it from you as my favourite Trident ;D
