I presume it would be less common even on a Saturday with 516 now withdrawn.

By the way not unusual as such but 4 B5's were on WN 59 today (5511/2/3/4) but its more than usual. Should be 2-3 Mon-Fri, 3 on.Saturday and 3-4 on Sunday (Only 6 buses on the 59 on sundays so

2013 on the 529. Is that unusual? First time in Wolverhampton for over a year for me so unfamiliar territory.

It was closely followed by 4599 which was being towed by a Mansfield truck.

It does happen from time to time, but I'd just about count it as unusual

The 529 seemed to be in a bit of a melt down today! I noticed two sets of two buses running together (and no others) whilst driving between Wolverhampton & Willenhall, and there were two different comments on Twitter about waits, including one showing this pic https://twitter.com/Gazitude/status/357177549832454145/photo/1 of the queue

Personally, although the lady doing the NXWM Twitter is obviously trying her best, I feel it should be operated by someone in AVL who can respond directly with what's happened/happening (rather than direct people to write in to Customer Relations) & post more service updates etc., similar to how the Coventry Facebook is operated.

So can I ;)

Matt, Although not a 529 i waited for a 59 for 20-25 mins and it still didn't turn up so i caught the 89 but just after a Merc Packed to the brim (No exaggeration there either!) turned up on a 59.


529 queues always look almost that busy anyway even on sunday.

A Wolverhampton bus being towed isn't an unusual event is it, thought that happened pretty regularly!  ;D

The 529 queues definitely don't stretch back out those doors every day and definitely not on Sundays
