saw an swb e200 on 11 rammed. so if as previously the 62 board covers 11s as well, the e200 swb wasn't sufficient last night.

The B6's weren't sufficient most days either.

There's been a LWB E200 on the 62A today.

I can confirm both 62 boards start and finish on the 11.

Watch out for a bit of a varied allocation from WN today, buses may of grown on some routes and shrunk on others ;)

@Roy There are still some boards that do 256/7's only that are still Tridents. About 10 out of 18/19 boards are Single Deck. (All 255/6/7's are 255/** numbered boards regardless of whether they do 255's or not)

Boards that have any 255 trips on it are B7RLE operated. Tridents on the 2,3 and 4 as expected.



Also, 4959 seen leaving Wolverhampton City Centre at Lunchtime being driven down Bilston Rd by an engineer. I assume this has payed Park Lane a visit?

There's a tree problem near Swindon which South Staffs District Council have been asked to sort out.

The Cannock to Hednesford section of the 154 is quiet. Apart from that, both services are well used. Passengers think the NX services are more reliable and cheaper. A good example, the 2205 Stafford to Wolverhampton a few Saturdays back carried about 20 to 30 people end to end. You get similar numbers on the evening 154's regularly.

Between Cannock and Wolverhampton and vice versa??? I've caught the 20.30  from Cannock on a Sat evening quite a few times with mates on a night out and theres been barely anyone on it apart from us.  Not sure about the other trips maybe they're busier.  Arriva are now running more 70s through Cheslyn hay  ( another example of how f####'g stupid they are was the X70! ) so that might have an impact on the 154. Although there's been complaints about the reliability of the 71 with regular delays on the 76 having a big effect plus general unreliability of the buses Arriva have been using on it so maybe the NX being more reliable has proved true.  As I said before more competition is good, another operator from Cannock to Walsall would floor arriva after the utter mess they made of the 1 & 2

A B7 on the 154 would be awesome!

The ones on the 59 and 79 are the booked vehicle listed on the allocation sheet.
