All day? The ☓21 I use in the morning doesn't change to anything else. I can imagine they do in the evenings judging by the timetable..

Every board interworks between the three services all through the day

Yes a couple of peak boards do two consecutive journies on the same route

Fair enough. I can't understand the sudden need for double decks though. The B7RLEs still have life in them.

Ironic really. It wasn't long ago you told me nobody uses the ☓21 anyway.

My point is if nobody uses it what's the need for double deckers?

Nobody said no-one uses it. If that was the case it would have been withdrawn. What I said was B7RLEs could cope on the old timetable, now the frequency has been reduced the same capacity is maintained with double decks

Fair enough, makes sense. I have to ask though, how come it got cut back to Woodcock Lane and not somewhere in Bangham Pit?

[Trident 4194]

431 in the 10S with friendly driver on running 45 minutes late and he doesn't know the way past Selly Oak towards northfield. Good operator my ass.

Also 2137 has a faulty ticket machine my pass didn't scan driver said I had to pay, when I knew full well it was valid and working fine. Surprise surprise it's worked on all the other vehicles.

Second time in a few weeks that my 23 has gone the wrong way. This morning the driver of 4876 failed to take the left turn from Islington Row into Tennant Steet, instead continuing via Bath Row and missing the Tennant Street / Bishopgate Street section. I was deposited at the 'not in use' stop outside the Shell garage on Bath Row instead of my usual stop.
