Won't this be Walsall's first ever Pride March?

They've had Pride related events before,  but this must be the first time they managed to get the bus for it!

  I spent an hour near moor street on Monday too.. I did see 8354 with the fleet number clearly visible on the front AND side of the vehicle.....7523 was the only new vehicle noted on the 50 service ....
   but 7518/19/21/22/23/24/29/33 were all on the solihull (6) services.... presumably taken over from central?     7515/16/17 were all noted on either 60 or 35? services through lower bull st as well

where might I find 765/766/767 any one?   thanks
Mind the Gap.....?:-)

I think I spotted some scratch graffiti on the front near side top deck window of 6813? if I remember correctly..........Does any one know why 6968 (YW)  STILL doesn't carry its fleet number below the drivers cab side????...  The number on the offside rear (if it exists) is occluded by adverts as well which
doesn't help......

The 6 service is Yardley Wood operated and they are YW vehicles, nothing "taken over from Central", or anything to do with BC.
7515/7516/7517 would have been on BC operated services, one of them was on the X20/X21/X22 yesterday afternoon.
The 35 is YW operated, so wouldn't have been on there.

765/766/767 operate closed contract adult eductation BCC shuttles.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Looks like a lot more journeys on the 23 and 24 inter work since the latest timetable came in. My 23 this morning was a 24 when I got off it. Previously it was mainly just late evening and Sunday interworking.
