Tried to view the link but it's coming back as broken link

That's interesting, unless he's back from work & is trying to fix it?

I'll have a look tomorrow, unless someone wants to find him on Twitter themselves?

Don't know what 4490 I think it was, was doing on the 67 this morning on the Vale as it came out of Farnborough Road went right around the island just missing my car and went back down Farnborough Road at about 11:20 showing Castle Vale on the blinds. I was waiting to go across the island heading towards the Spitfire Island after going to Sainsbury's shopping

That's where the 67 terminates, so it has to do a u-turn at that island. Were you at the island already when the bus came onto it, or was the bus already on the island when you approached?

The terminus has been closed all morning due to a stabbing last night.

Yes I read about the stabbing after I posted so yeah that would explain it cheers @Tony.

I was approaching the island and wondered why a Gemini was coming off Farnborough Road so had to stop for obvious reasons but was expecting the bus to go down Tangmere Drive towards Sainsbury's but got a shock when it went right around the island and back down Tangmere Drive again. @ellspurs. I have since read that High St is/was closed off due to a stabbing last night which Tony mentioned in response to my post earlier cheers

Was waiting for the 28 to Ward End in Erdington, timetabled on the stop I was waiting at Suttton Road/Orchard Road at 18:15 bus 1833 turned up approaching the stop at high speed and sped straight past without stopping, despite that I flagged it down.
So I waited for the 18:30, so I did the same thing and flagged it down 1950 stopped.

Saw ex Walsall 4858 on the 14.
Wonder if 4854 - 56 will be going back to Perry Barr as well?

I'm hearing the 101 is to be extended to West Brom bus station? Will the 101 still be operated by PB or WB?

I wonder where the extra drivers will come from for that, if it's true that is

Woudnt that be a bit pointless since the 74 is a road away from where 101 terminates

The 101 has more than one stop on the route.
