Is that? It can't be... FREE WIFI ON NXWM!!! :D Let's hope the WiFi slowly creeps onto other vehicles... (Newer E400s, B7RLES, etc...)

Looking at the timetable for the 54, will only the one bus be used in the daytime?

Leaving Wolverhampton at 00, getting to Billbrook at 27, laying over for 5 minutes, leaving at 32 and returning to Wolverhampton for 57 for the next 00 departure. It doesn't leave much time for traffic delays

I think it has a pvr of 2. Don't quote me on that not 100%.

Must do as there branding 2 buses

853 is out on the 59 today still unbranded

Hi guys, guick one with regards to the 54, I've checked google maps to see where the route will terminate, will buses just do a U-turn outside the Billbrook station or have I totally missed something??

No, does a one-way loop round Bilbrook, to the Woodman then past Codsall High, left past the Council Offices and along to Bilbrook station where it terminates on Duck Lane.

The 50 Enviro400s at Yardley Wood featured WiFi for a short time a few years ago. I don't know why it was discontinued. They all had this logo on them

It was done on a trial basis, but it didn't take off. From memory, they took it off because the technology used wasn't very effective.

Fair play to them. It doesn't actually look that bad.

I believe the PVR is 3. The core vehicle requirement is 2, but then there is the additional bus required in both the AM & PM peaks.

I reckon the workings will be as follows -
Bus 1) 0535 ex Wolves, 0612 ex Bilbrook, 0645 ex Wolves, Dead to Wolves, then **30 ex Wolves & **02 ex Bilbrook until 2202 ex Bilbrook.
Bus 2) 0615 ex Wolves, 0647 ex Bilbrook, 0715 ex Wolves, 0738 ex Pendeford Business Park, then **00 ex Wolves & **32 ex Bilbrook until 2255 ex Wolves, 2310 ex i54
Bus 3) 0745 ex Wolves (then a total guess maybe the 784 or 785 school service?)
Bus 4) 1623 ex Pendeford Business Park (possibly doing the 784 or 785 beforehand?)

:o :o Gosh. How did I miss those?? Can't blame myself; I've only ever used the 50 when they were operated by branded Tridents, so that's going back quite some time...  :P
