On Sunday, I missed the 2140 126 from moor street by inches, on the display the next one was 29 mins away, it then just disappeared of the screen with one then turning up at 2220. Not the most enjoyable thing when I've just finished a 12 hour shift.

Where were you waiting? It probably got turned at Five Ways

He mentioned that he was waiting on Moor St......

No, he said he was waiting for the 2140 from Moor St. He could be waiting for it anywhere on the route, although I imagine he would have been near the city centre as it seems like the bus was turned.

I don't think the RTI displays can detect an untimetabled short working so that would explain why it 'disappeared'

5514 (boar 59/02 I think) appears to be 'missing' on WN59. It was a no show this evening when I waited for it. The next bus that went towards Ashmore Park was 4535 meaning a 24 minute or so gap in service between 4535 and 4593 (5514 should be in between the two)

Wouldnt mind a 10 min bus service....

Yeah, as I suspected, it was probably turned at Five Ways or Paradise Circus.

Summat was running late just as I missed both a 311 & 313 at Wednesbury Parkway towards Walsall!

Decided to walk into Wednesbury Bus Station in the hope of getting a 38, then a 311 turned up 5 minutes after I arrived at the bus station!

Trident 4609

The 13:48/14:08 126 ex Dudley towards W'ton were running together this afternoon as were the 14:48/15:08

Also the 15:30 62 didn't depart till 15:41 from Bus Station

33s running late this afternoon. During most of my afternoon duty (4pm till 6.40pm), I was running in a group of 3 33s, with others running in 2s coming the other way.

This wouldn't have helped (as you can see a 33 stuck in the picture, and there was a 5 stuck as well)

but I had no idea of this (nothing over the radio), and it must have been cleared quickly as I would have come through here around 5pm
