Pulsar only operates the s16 on a Saturday & occasionally during school holidays.

Thanks for the replies guys, will probably be over on Tuesday.

MX61BAV took a rather strange route back going to the depot after finishing the 424 the other week, think it was 6PM on Wednesday 8th.

Up St Margarets Road and then straight up to the Fox And Goose, they usually go direct in the morning and evening via Bromford Lane, strange seeing it do that.

The Government says it's a Bank Holiday
https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays

So whatever silly name you come up with If the registration states not Bank Holidays then they don't run!
Didn't look like they are operating this year again today when I was in Sutton earlier, the 94 won't be operating because its Good Friday, but I didn't see any sign of the 604, 600, 167 and 168?

Well let's hope Transport for West Midlands are aware then given all other TfWM contracts are in operation to a Saturday timetable today.

The registration states the 94 doesn't run on bank holidays.
But the tendered routes should have run today, shouldn't they, 424, 604, 167, 168 and 600.
TFWM require a Saturday service on Good Friday on tendered services don't they?
"These journeys are to be operated in accordance with the attached timetable. No service will be required on the 25 December. Normal Saturday service will be required on Good Friday. A Sunday service will be required on all other Bank Holidays and 1 January, unless otherwise advised by TfWMto the Operator in writing."

Still no livery for the E200s? Or are they now operated by Amantia Restaurant or Star Cars? Because they're the most prominent logos

Presumably advertising Taxi's is more luractive than trying to attract Customers to use their services!

No wonder they are always empty.

A joke if you ask me. They'll probably never be getting painted or even a company logo.

As you've said it only takes a good few minutes to apply some logos. It's a shame because in my opinion Claribels have been good but since the evolution of the E200's they've gone down.

There's no point of painting them now. They'll have to be painted again into Diamond blue..

The Star Cars internal adverts state that it might be cheaper to catch a taxi than a bus if you are travelling as a couple / group..

It does mean every journey on the 424 is in breach of AQPS rules, as prominent fleet names is one of the rules
