Forgot to say seen 4559 on 126 about 4:3 at castle gate

If you meant you saw it at 4:30 (Was 4:3 a typo error) then it was not possible to be on the 126 at that time as i was on it at 16:30 on the 59 and it stayed out till end of running board at 19:25 (it has been out since 5AM on the 59). If you saw it after 8PM then it would have been possible that it switched to a 126

4559 has been on the 59 all day though Stu. I saw it at 08:15 this morning firstly (Would have worked the first 59 of the day at 5AM from Ashmore Park as it was board 59/01) )then it has passed my school on the 59 throughout the day then I saw it work its last trip from Ash more Park Into Wolverhampton (Dead back To garage from Wolverhampton at 19:27 I think)

On another note I have noticed the new banners for the £4 daysaver on the side of most of WN's B7's. Have these been applied to Omnilinks or AG,BC,PN B7's yet?

Yesterday

Oh ok :) It was just you never mentioned whether you saw it yesterday or today ;) I did think it HD already been in service before today because there was a fair bit of mud/dirt covering it today already. The back is virtually spotless though

Most if not all of AG's Omnilinks have got the new £4 Daysaver banner I think the B7's will follow shortly as 2107 has had its old £3.90 Daysaver banners removed I'll have to get back to you about BC's B7's :)

[Trident 4609]

Surely 2107 should have had its £3.90 day saver banner removed at the beginning of December with the rest of them?

My Version of it what I've heard but still speculation:
62/62A will be withdrawn (Probably end up with Arriva or Diamond)
The 26 will be withdrawn but the 25/26 will become 1 route and run as a 25C (Clockwise) and 25A (Anticlockwise) so they will run in a circle one one way the other the other. One will run a 25 as it is now although extended into the i54 (which is due to open in January) then from Bilston it will continue on the 26 route to Wton still as a 25. Obviously the other way round will run a 26 to Bilston (As the new 25) then from Bilston on its own 25 route via i54. I also overheard that the 6 will progress further into the i54 also and be re-timed
Wednesfield rota and Cannock road rota to be combined i.e 11,25A,25C,28,32,33,79 will become 1 rota so there could be many boards & interworking routes if this happens. This is only what I've heard so don't quote me but I also wonder as the current 25/27 interwork on evenings & Sundays how the 27 will be effected

A driver was telling me he went into the garage on one Sunday morning some weeks to learn the routes on other rotas due to the Wednesfield and Cannock Road rotas joining up to be tolditisn't happening any longer!

Correct the rota's aren't joining now and to answer my own question the new 25 service will just run to Bilston Via Willenhall (still as a 25A/C) on the nights still interworking with the 27

How come the evening & Sunday 25 aren't called 25E as they are not running the full circular route?

I would imagine it would have display 25E to Bilston Via... or 25-BILSTON in big lettering (The two 89 journeys that terminate in Bloxwich from Wolverhampton display 'bloxwich'

So shouldn't the evening service be a 25AE or a 25CE?  ;)

Could always number it 25ACE :-)

Any idea which Hybrid Enviro 400 had its offside rear panel clipped in an accident whilst operating the 1 into Wolverhampton this morning? Looked like someone overtaking the bus hit an on-coming car and clipped the back of the bus. Hope no one was injured.

Which Road did this take place on? May explain 4607 being on the 1 this afternoon then
