2 x10s to bearwood in convoy. What's the point in that?

Plenty of point. Drivers hours could be one reason, both buses could be early boards where drivers are reaching their limit. One might run dead to relief and the other in service back from there. Better than having a massive gap in service going back towards Merry Hill if they ran into City. There was a burst water main on the Hagley Road last night so don't know if this is still a problem this morning

This is still a problem. All buses seem to be going only as far as bearwood. Surely there's no need to send 2 x10s to bearwood though? One terminated and gone back to gornal Wood, not sure on other ones

A 76E to Robin Hood Island was my bus home from Kings Heath this evening; the driver was politely informing passengers as they board that he was only going to Hall Green as he was 'very late', and that those going on towards Solihull could change onto the 6.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

A couple of 529e's from Wolves to Willenhall & Junction 10 M6 respectively!

(No good to me though! Had to race round to the 326 stop instead!)

Duplicate. Runs as far as Wincanton at Hams Hall. Waits time. Departs on time as the 'normal' bus will more than likely be late. To City then Garage. There's one at 2050 as well!
