Quick Question at Wolverhampton and Walsall Bus Station's you used to have pay to use the Toilets however since about 2020 they haven't charged to use them, the paying things are still there but don't work/aren't used, why did they Start making you pay to use them and when. Because maybe a few years before 2020 they were free to use. And why have they now not bothered to make you pay for them again. I can't remember if you have to pay at Digbeth Coach Station or not either.

They used to do it the gates are still there unless it was to discourage kids by thinking they would have to pay doing anti social things in there.

Not sure if tfwm have an aversion for the Jervoise Road stops in Weoley Castle, but the outbound stop, still has an old flag from 1-2 changes previous (when the 48 last did this area) which says 48 76 X21. Now, the inbound stop has been missed recently and that says 46 46A 76 X21. So neither are correct.

I guess maybe they'll have another chance to get it right once the 46/46A goes.

Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Pn 15 after 17 days of operation nearly all stop flags been updated in tfwm land

I guess that they got missed when the crew(/person) went around to change them, so they won't get looked at until the system triggers a new flag to put up.

I'm guessing it is similar when a pole gets swapped/replaced and they put up a temporary flag on it. The electric totem that they swapped to a standard flag by me still has the "temporary stop" sign on it.

On a different note, I went up Hortonwood 30 in Telford today, they had those yellow temporary "TEMPORARY BUS STOP" signs along it with (now worn out) Travel Telford logos. I think they've only had services going up there for at least a year now...

when the 20 became the 20A and the new 20 served edgewood road, there was meant to be a new bus stop next to the junction with lickey road, had a "temporary bus stop" paper laminate on the pole. the buses still stop there (but only every now and again, sometimes they'll drop off there, other times they'll drop off at ormscliffe road), and it's still not had a flag put in, which is even better; because the paper laminate sign has been missing for a year and a half of those two years 😭
