Has the 6E to i54 been said already?
been a while since I've been in Wolverhampton

Atm as John said there is a road closure at the Patshull Ave and Wobaston Rd junction for 16 weeks meaning the 6 cannot get to the terminus so it is temporarily terminating at I54 so drivers are displaying 6E-I54

Saw a 3E to Wobaston this afternoon (A destination i have never seen displayed) due to a car/Pedestrian collision on the Stafford Rd (Vine Island) this morning

I've seen a 3E twice recently, both times it was in front of a normal 3, and heading towards Wolvo, but went round the Roundabout at Bushbury Lane (by the boarded up Island House pub) and back up the Stafford Road towards Fordhouses. Struck me as somewhat useless to man nor beast!
Preserving a bit of West Midlands heritage with 1037 and 1849.

Related to the same, there is a 3E shuttle service running during the period of the road closure.

Heard someone inside WN garage saying the 1's were all over the place today

4197 did a 53E from West Bromwich to Blackheath. Seen on Bearwood High Street at 17.00.

(Not to be confused with the regular 53Es from WB at 17.50, 18.20 and 18.50).

Buses have lots of different variations on the Hanover display on each route

Stuharris 6360

1627 was seen earlier leaving Marry Hill (around 1440) on a 276E to Stourbridge followed moments later by 4353, almost empty, on a normal 276 to Wollaston Junction.

Surely it would have been better to terminate 1627 at Merry Hill, put its passengers on 4353 and send 1627 empty to Wollaston in time to take up its next 276.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
