4593 has just passed Burntree Tesco as a 126E into Dudley




And today (25th July)

4536 left Wolverhampton at 12:25 as a 126E-Bearwood Kings Head

4817 left Stourbridge Bus Station at 13:57 as a 9E however only saw the back of the bus so never saw where it was terminating.

It would most likely be a 9E to Bearwood or Five Ways i would imagine

Trident 4609

Due to a protest passing Selfridges and through the City Centre:

1924 is about to a 6E to Hall Green Robin Hood Island

And 1796 is going to work a 17E-Yew Tree

Something I've wondered whenever I see these... Where would a short journey to Bearwood turn round? Can't do U-turns there can you?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Not supposed to, but we know what NE drivers are like.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I think it's been posted previously that a loop of Hagley Road, left Barnsley Road, left Sandon Road, left Rutland Road, left Bearwood Road and right back onto Hagley Road West is the route used.

Before making accusations like that, perhaps you might like to quote an example of a driver making an illegal u-turn

the trainbasher

Basically the turn used is what the old 258/140 Sunday shorts used to do

I have seen them do it before at Bearwood, when the 140 used to terminate at Bearwood on Sunday, have seen them a few time u turn there, yes a while ago, but still just as illegal!

So a few years back you saw someone make an illegal 'U-turn' so me, 2900, John, Karl and every NX driver is someone who doesn't care about the rules of the road?

That is what your post is saying.  'You know what NX drivers are like' that puts all 3000 or how every many it currently is in one category

Ok, so when i was going round the roundabout last week by Stourbridge Bus Station and the driver on the 276 coming down the road by the railway station didn't stop, just cut straight in front of me waving his hand is acceptable, what i am trying to point out is that there are good drivers on NE, but to say all of them are good is not right either.

On a forum like this, surely we have to have a balanced view.
