Any one what the optare versa is on the 4H this evening?

30969 & 30970 from Tamworth have been seen operating out of Tividale, may well be one of those.

30970.

Not sure if loans or transferred

Isn't Tamworth just an outstation for Tividale?

It seems to be managed by Tividale and on the Ticketer machines, all of Tamworth's vehicles are under Tividale depot.

You will know more than me, the only other thing to throw in the mix, Tamworth does have it's own allocation of buses.

The 13 hasn't been running most of the day now

I caught the 09:46 142 from Stourbridge and the 13 was observed broken down over Fatherless Barn. Why they couldn't find a replacement? A 002 was also seen broken down around the Spies Lane area.

[I love Walsall buses]

30963 was displaying 16 to Kingsbury via Ventura park when it was on the 401E today and how I know this,is it came into Walsall with 401E on and left displaying 16 with passengers on

20885 was today's bus on the 53.
I saw it on Cole Hall Lane in Buckland End at about 15:30 heading towards Stechford and Erdington. (15:19 from Smiths Wood it seems)
The route number hasn't been programmed into the display as it was diving around with "Diamond Bus" on the display all day. There wasn't even a paper route number on display in the windscreen.
If you didn't know otherwise, you'd think it was out of service and considering it's their first day on the route and there's bound to be people expecting an Igo bus to turn up and it's now operating at an hourly frequency, that's not good at all in my opinion, as people could potentially let it go past thinking it's Out Of Service.  @Simon Dunn .

I am not sure why this happened.  However, I have spoken to the depot this morning about checking the blinds before the bus departs
