The performance of the 13 evening peak out of town to Willenhall has been **** for a long time. I put it down to congestion over on the Whitmore Park side of the route. Time for TC to take a brave decision and split the route!

Get the out of town 13 to Willenhall fixed and that will help performance on the return leg to city.

I think the issue is more that the timetable hasn't been looked at properly for quite a while. I think adjustments to peak timings would suffice.

Is there anything up with 4406 - its been parked up at the Swanswell pool end of the garage for a few weeks now?

More than 1 'not in service' bus seen recently showing 'Merry Christmas' on front dest blind. Very effective at night. Well done TC and brings some smiles and happiness to those who see them. 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
