Anyone have any thoughts about what may happen on Boxing Day 2013 bus wise...Will we see more diamonds out in service, will we see NXWM Pensnett run services?

Or will we see some unusual workings like what happened in 2008 on the 226 where 1706 made a guest appearence (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomsbusphotos/10786965263/ - and yes - I bashed 1706 from Merry Hill to Dudley on the 226)!


All opinions and onions mentioned on here are mine and not those of any employer, current, past, present or future, or presented as fact, unless I prove it otherwise.

Sayeed

Would love to see First on the 76 again

I suspect if will be the same arrangements as in past years i.e only open a certain number of garages to cover all the NXWM routes and keep costs lower. I would have thought that WB would be running PE services as normally happens

Hopefully diamond will be running a few different routes this year-forget what they did last year though. Anyone remember?

Sh4318

I wonder if the 289 will run this year, last year it ran hourly by WB, using doubles
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

Didn't a Merc appear on the 9 last year?

the trainbasher

Yes as it interworked with the 141 and 222

With the 140 interworking with the 246 and Geminis on the 276

Has anyone got any photos of Boxing Day services from previous years? Other than Tom's photo of 1706 I can't find anything on Flickr.

Wasn't it a WB Merc that appeared on the 9 though, due to WB operating PN's services?
