The 226/226W was part of the same tender IIRC so wouldn't be displayed...

...but I've heard rumours that the Dudley - West Brom bit was commercial so looks like that's gone!

The evening & Sunday 226 will now be operated by WMSNT instead of Diamond, whether it is an admin error with the w being dropped on the route is being curtailed I'm not sure

T 119 226 Dudley & Merry Hill Centre 4 West Midlands Special Needs Transport (Accessible Transport Services) Ltd 22286 22286 93340 18/07/2014

Someone needs their head testing if that was commercial for a whole year. Timed to leave just after the 74 (or it was).Also, just noticed the typo on the NWM page. It looks like the GRS 246 withdrawal has been combined with Diamonds 226 Evening and Sunday Withdrawal

Still running into Perton then I imagine, cause they have buses that can operate the bus gate

[woody38]

Cheers for that Kevin wondered what was happening

[Kevin]

Looking at the service changes, apparently the 424 and 425 are being merged. So someone somewhere is going to be missing out, be it the Gorse Farm estate on the 424 or the bit through Hamstead and Newton on the 425

[woody38]

and 646 for giving the answer I was looking for

28E is Wolverhampton - New Invention. :)

I stated "revised 28E Wolverhampton - Willenhall evenings/Sundays". This is not the same as the daytime route.

You're confusing me. Are you saying 28 Wolverhampton to Willenhall because that's the full route or 28E Wolverhampton to New Invention? If it is to Willenhall then it should be 28, not 28E, right?

[the trainbasher]

Unless it's a "E"xception to the normal 28
