Presumably PE will be operating their own services this year?

I wouldn't rule it out, I'm sure WB have the capacity to operate PN's Sunday services on top of their own:

9 - 6 buses
120 - 4 buses
140/241 - 3 buses
141 - 5 buses
222 - 4 buses
243/244 - 3 buses
246 - 4 buses
276 - 5 buses
297E - 1 bus (I think)
X96 - 2 buses

So a total of 37 buses needed

Yeah, it does look like 1 bus referring to the timetable. Is this usually 824 on Sundays?

Good point, that would be a nice idea, you could run it with a Transit! But no, it's rarely anything other than a B7RLE, I did see a Merc about half a year ago.

Maybe WB operate it with PE drivers.

I really hope so! I don't see why the trading estate would open up this year. Sunday services running this year as well could mean WB buses operating on routes like the 244, which did not operate last year. It would be great seeing a Gemini on the 244!

I think Pensentt Trading Estate gatehouse is manned 24/7 anyway

Depending on how many buses were/weren't avaliable at WB, it could be the case the full sunday service gets spit, ie BC could do the 9/141? Just guessing though probably won't happen!

Wouldn't mind a BC Gemini on the 9 Tbh!

In theory, it could happen any school morning...

There again one on the 222 would be even more fun!

You can't have deckers on the 297 can you? (low bridge)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Green Bus will also be operating on Boxing day, including hiring buses from Central Buses to meet requirements

When will we know who operates what from the rest of the routes?

Well if they were just running that, then they would have enough of the buses they use on there every day of the week, as as far as I am aware, greenbus run their own buses on the 50. They're green and say greenbus on them, that's for sure
