If you want to put it that way...

OmniLink on the 952 still displaying 52. Bet that will be fun along the Birchfield Road

Great! I knew this was going to happen!
Same thing happened when it changed to the 52/A, two 952s were still in use!

So it's now Omnilinks on Sundays? Thought it would be DD on Sundays like it use to!

Dosent need a decker on Sundays. I done the 952 before with 4934 and it was wasted. Could get away with an Enviro200

True it doesn't, just wondered if it would be DD again on Sundays. Anyway one of the stops on Birchfield Road outbound still has 52 and 52A on the flag, so it's great.
Does PB even have a fixed route anymore? The 46 can have anything. Unless it's 952.

1901 is the Omnilink out displaying 52. Driver was kind and telling passengers it's the 952 and saying where the next stop is. People at the Rodway Close stop were putting their hands out to hail the bus over.
1901 was actually out on the 52/A yesterday and may of been doing a late night 52 or 52A so may of not had time to update the displays...

Doesn't matter if it was out last night. Should be checked before leaving garage. I certainly wouldn't have brought it out until it was changed. I can imagine all the agro the drivers are getting today. I'd blank it off over the limited stop parts of the route if I was on it

Some paper numbers would do. But PB don't want a telling off by TfWM!
If you did blank it off over the limited stop parts then expect to have an earful from Perry Beeches users as they will moan that they got told it was the 952, not the 52.
A few people who got on along Walsall Road claimed they knew nothing about the changes, the stops have notices on, as do the buses. More angry people at Perry Barr, saying "you don't go that way! "You're a 52!"


The 952 is sharing the Bull Street Stop with the 33 and 51, I though it would share the stop with 907/X51.

They'll get a telling off for displaying the wrong number if they're  monitoring.

Let's just hope it's not like this tomorrow!

No way the 907 struggles to get into that bus stop because of X51's already. I would suggest that the 952 can go with the X51 BUT move the 907 to the 933-7/997 stop instead.

Are they not using the spare platinums on Sundays anymore?
Not seen any E400 MMC on the 94 today and it appears to be completely Gemini operated today?

The X51's? The 33/51 Stop is bad as there is a lot of the time there is a bus parked and if there's X51 there then it will be in the middle of the road, but mainly they have to park at an angle.

The 952 seems to have kicked off well, though a few users weren't happy they had to go round Booths Farm. Another thing is the 952 weirdly doesn't stop at the Monsal Road stop on Thornbridge Avenue. A few drivers have stopped there and some haven't, but the flag and timetable doesn't have the 952. The 52 and previous 952 stopped there and now it doesn't.

It does stop at Monsal Road in both directions
