Boxing Day 2013

[nitromatt1]

I wonder if they will intetwork the 28E and 82 ?

No the timetables don't correspond with that. They appear to be following exactly the same timetables as Arriva. It might just be an error that TGB's 335/530/545 services haven't appeared on the NWM site.

Timetables for Boxing Day can be seen on NWM, as well as Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, New Years Day and the 27th. Accordingly to NWM, a normal 120 & 140 Sunday timetable is in operation on Boxing Day, and an extra journey on the 70 has been included, departing Coleshill, Summer Road at 08:43 & arriving at Birmingham, Priory Queensway 09:22. Most routes, like the 2, 3 & 31A that were meant to finish by 7, see their last journeys out of Birmingham after 8

It seems so, yes. 4127/8/30 were also noted on it, although it seems like 4127 broke down in Walsall some time today

Apart from Tridents on the 4/4M and 4680 on the 10/77 was it usual Sunday allocations in Walsall?

Also if someone could give me the full boxing day allocations for WA routes and possibly the other garages (Except PE and WN which i know of) that would be great thanks :)

A very interesting day!

Was good to see that in the main, TGB took the time to reprogramme their blinds to show the routes they were on.

Also good to see numerous deckers being used on service, always thought today would be busy and judging by some of the buses i saw, this was certainly true.

Just hope that the WA drivers are very careful when they take the deckers off the 4 back to garage. Maybe WB should have operated the 4 today.

[Nathan4775]

Its a shame we carnt see more of TGB on Sunday routes I.e 19, after seeing them today I must say they were outstanding in keeping them on time considering it was there first time running on the routes.

[Nathan4775]

Yeah I know, would be nice to see more of TGB on some Sunday Services, so hopefully we will or we won't who knows.
