No. Theres only one which leaves the City Centre at 16:23 on a 50E to Alcester Lanes End.

I was thinking more of untimetabled journeys. The inspectors on Moor St used to adjust quite a few journeys to keep the service running reliably, particularly when there were 4 or 5 arrive in town together which wasn't uncommon.

Times have clearly changed.

This still happens as far as I'm aware. I've seen loads of 50Es over the years too

My all time favourite was back in WMPTE days when one 50 journey from town around 5pm was regularly operated by two Birmingham single deck Fleetlines. The leading one was a 50E to Alcester Lanes End and the one behind ran all the way to Maypole as a 50! This was in the days before the 50 was extended to Druids Heath, with the Druids Heath service being operated by the 48.

74E parked up in Dudley, presuming it's not timetabled as it's displaying West Bromwich via Hockley?

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

There is a 17:25 74E from Dudley, probably the driver displayed the wrong destination.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

4230 has just passed me at Pheasey on a 5E to Kingstanding.

As expected with the disruptions in Birmingham, there's been a few E workings not normally seen.

A couple of 14E's to Chelmsley Interchange throughout the day,  a 94E to Castle Bromwich and one I've personally never seen before, a 70E to Water Orton.
