Untimetabled 'E' Workings

[TGZac]

6897 - 50E - Highgate
E009 - 50E - Maypole

[SO6597]

6957 - 20E Catshill seen in Northfield at 4.25

[SCS]

4913 - 97E to Chelmsley Wood Interchange (unsure as to why, as the bus appears to be mostly on-time for a 19:02 97A service)

Note: When I got off at my stop, the display was changed to just a 97, which contrasted the driver's display of a 97A.

That's a new one on me.

Is there normally short workings on the X51 between Walsall & Scott Arms at peak?

I saw one about 430 / 445pm last night in Walsall.

(Would've thought it would be a 51 rather than an X51 personally!)

6868 - 23E Summerfield Estate

Is that even a place? It goes down Sommerfield Road but short workings to there used to show Woodgate Valley Tibbatts Close. I've noticed they've updated some of the short workings on the 23 with Harborne Green Man and California Barnes Hill being recent changes.

Just now, 6982 on the 87E to Midland Metropolitan Hospital, followed a couple minutes behind by 6980 on the 87E to Spring Hill Tesco (both from Dudley, seen by Victoria Park). This is becoming a real problem, bunched up 87s very much a norm at the moment

Apparently it is now?? I've seen once or twice ever since they rejigged the destinations to remove "via" at the back.

Tibbatts Close makes sense as there's the turning circle just after the stop.
They could also potentially terminate at Plough Avenue (or even Woodgate Valley Country Park) and then use the Clapgate Lane roundabout (before the Old Crown (now Tyndale Walk  ) bus stop.

The only other place could be at Glenside//Sommerfield Road, given that it's a timing point, where it would turn right at the end to run down Sommerfield Road and then rejoin at Stonehouse Lane (with the first stop being Simmons Leasow). It appears that's what happened: https://bustimes.org/vehicles/tnxb-6868?date=2024-12-11#journeys/659897769
