@Rhys S 141 will have too much dead mileage and interworks with 241 and 140.  @Liverpool Street is the farm Hasbury/Hayley Green

[Sh4318]

What I've heard is:

Something from the farm going to Wolvo.

126 from Wolvo to BC.

99 extended to hasbury and from BC to the Farm.

Someone work out what could go from PN to WN?

X96?

141

What about the 205 which you could interwork with 27/27A? No increase in dead mileage there and the frequencies are the same

Low PVR though

Based off all this, here are what I think could happen (Please note: just my opinions):

141-If moving to WN, could interwork with 255 to Merry Hill
205-As mentioned, could interwork with 27/27A
246-Could interwork with 256 at Stourbridge

Are you suggesting a 256 every 8/9 minutes?

Instead of interworking the 205 with the 27/A, just extend the 27/A to Kingswinford, however traffic around RHH/Pensnett will not help things reliability wise!

Umm no, had sort of forgot about that :-[ Whoops!

A lot of very bad guesswork here, but there is nothing to stop a 7/8 minute frequency service interworking with a 30 minute one. It just means every fourth bus will change over

Yeah, that does tend to happen trying to work valid reasons out, while in a graphics class, with your classmates heckling you.

On another note, personally, i doubt that a PN route transferring to WN will happen, and those were just guesses, for what could happen, no matter how unlikely, hence interworking the 246/256 and 27/A/205

Bad guesswork? Do we infer therefore that there is some substance to the rumours of the 99 moving to PE and BC taking on other duties? That's a rhetorical question by the way, I don't expect you to answer it

[Liverpool Street]

801, 805 in Wolverhampton earlier. Surprised none of you Wolvo based nuts @Nathan have a stake out in the bus station and frollock over the rarity of BC's finest E200's out of territory.

Still waiting on that list of Wolvos RR's.

Just 801 and 805. I figured out so far BC supply 2 Rail buses, and WN supply about 3 or 4.

I'm having a break from the late night buses this week lol. Last night I was too busy watching Madonna falling off the stage at The Brits! Anyway..... Are WN supplying buses for rail replacements?

Today's sunny weather reveals the Twycross Zoo adverts were stuck over whatever was on the back of the bus including the bus name!

Don't they all? On a related note, 5516 had a completely non functioning front number / destination display on the 24 yesterday morning. Must have been a pain for the driver to have to explain at each stop which of the 22/23/24 it was on.
